Naw... I made my money on AAPL shares over a year ago... and some on
Facebook and even Netflix... but I got out of the market about six
months ago. ;)

I'm not sure "laughable" would be the correct term.... the rest of
the world doesn't agree with you, at all.

Tablets would most certainly be around, companies started to try
and make them in the 1980s. MP3 players too. All these things
existed well before the iPod and the iPhone, and multiple
companies had been working on them already for decades. These
things are all just glorified PDA's, the Palm Pilot I had in 1998
pretty must disproves any "X wouldn't be around without Y
company" Technology is technology and progress is progress...
there's nothing groundbreaking here about Apple AT ALL. My first
couple PDA's had WiFi and GPS and there was definitely a Palm
Pilot PDA/Phone combo out around the time Blackberry's started to
appear a lot more, this is all before the iPhone.... it may be
just before or around when the iPod first came out though. To
think that technology wouldn't have made that leap to full modern
smartphones and tablets on its own without the likes of Steve
Jobs is just laughable.

The world's most popular site and you don't think the world
would change? Really???
Apple is gone. People buy Blackberries and Android. Tablets
probably won't exist. Mp3 players would probably have come to
fruition without them. What else do they have?

At least Apple makes products... products that literally
changed the computing world, the phone world, the retail
world, created apps, and the music world. Google created a
search engine (actually copying Yahoo, Webcrawler, Altavista
and several others at the time). They aren't a "product".
They don't "sell" anything. They are a webpage, just like
Facebook.
Imagine your life without Google or Facebook. NOTHING CHANGES.
Yes, they built a better mousetrap using their intelligence
and hard work... but they aren't "inventors". They didn't
create anything new or groundbreaking.

Google is making themselves the curator of access to the
world's information and communications. When you consider
the value of those, it's not just the most valuable company
in matters of money. The founders had incredible foresight
in addition to their intelligence and hard work.

Literally, a one page website for a company that is
less than 19 years old is now the most valuable company
in the world. :(
