When did you get warped through time-travel from the 90s to year 2012? Or have you been 'frozen' in a lab chamber and you just woke up? Anyhow, let me tell you three important facts: 1) As you can see, we switched millennium and there was no world-ending... 2) Some scientists have interpreted/translated the calendar of the Mayas and according to them the world ends this Summer of 2012... 3) Apple owns more cash nowadays than Micro$oft and is of MUCH higher value as a company. Therefore IF Apple ever wanted to buy M$ (highly doubt it), it could easily go ahead and do it and would still have a lot of money left over in their bank account! Ain't that a bitch?
