apple is 156 vs a high of 200... thats 78% of its peak, a 22% fall. Also the apple high was in december but the google high was back in early november.
here is an article about it: http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/bafbd8ec-042d-11dd-b28b-000077b07658.html?nclick_check=1 A handful of high-profile departures does not mean Google is facing a brain drain. But the company is starting to suffer something that could have an equally significant impact: a drain of some of the entrepreneurial energy that drove its early growth and on which its unique culture depends heavily. ... One Silicon Valley headhunter, who also thinks that Google is no longer a magnet for all the regions best talent, questions whether the company could retain its creativity as it makes this shift though, as this person adds, Apple at least has proved that it is possible for a mature tech company to remain highly creative. That does not account for Googles particular culture, though. This relies on a form of barely controlled chaos in which workers are encouraged to come up with their own ideas for future products in what the company calls their 20 per cent time a system that is the complete opposite of the one that Steve Jobs has built. Apple is completely top-down, Google is bottom-up, says Mr Sacca. As Silicon Valleys entrepreneurial talent starts to look elsewhere for the next main chance, that could threaten the engine on which Google has relied to drive the next phase of its growth -- willyhoops ------------------------------------------------------------------------ willyhoops's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10563 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=45950
