MC2 Post 1092 Yesterday, Microsoft's MS-DOS Hit 30 Years Old

From: http://www.freerepublic.com

Posted yesterday on Wednesday, July 27, 2011 8:42:18 AM by ShadowAce

MS-DOS is 30 years old today. Well, kind of. On 27 July 1981, Microsoft gave the name MS-DOS to the disk operating system it acquired on that day from Seattle Computer Products (SCP), a hardware company owned and run by a fellow called Rod Brock.

Read about the History of MS-DOS at these links.

MC2 Post 1091 Apple Eyes The Next Tech Prize: HP’s Revenue Crown

From: http://techcrunch.com

Chasing HP's Revenue Crown

Both IBM and HP have towered over Apple in this category. IBM’s last fiscal year saw them report $99.87 billion in revenue. Meanwhile, HP reported an astounding $126 billion. Apple? They reported roughly $65 billion. Yes, HP was still nearly double Apple in revenue.

Apple’s stock closed above $400 a share for the first time. This has pushed their market cap up to roughly $375 billion, making my prediction that they have a shot at catching Exxon to become the most valuable public company in the world this fall, look pretty good (they’re now “just” $45 billion away).
