As of the close of the market on Friday, Apple’s market value is at $159.49 Billion where Mr. Dell’s company is at a paltry $39.46 Billion.

So, Mr. “Dude, you’re getting a” Dell, with more and more companies embracing the Macintosh, the worldwide success of the iPhone, music sales greater than Wal-Mart… (If only I had purchased 1000 shares of Apple when Mr. Dell made his suggestion.)

And in other news, Microsoft has given up its bid for Yahoo.
