Is Apple a Better Stock Than Google?

Oops. I guess Google did ship Google Earth, and that may one day change the world. But can they capitalize on it?

Apple on the other hand has the vision, talent, IP, and track record for shipping the kinds of products the world wants. They consistently add new product lines that bolster each other and creating cohesive systems. More and more they are building products and systems that cannot be duplicated because they span a unique collection of fields that no one else has competencies in (hardware, software, OS, media, retail, servers, online sales, content delivery, wireless, user interface, industrial design, consumer marketing). These are the raw ingredients it will take to build the high-tech consumer products of the 21st century.

They also know how to sell their ideas to the public. And they know enough to put margins before volume.

I don't see any of that changing any time soon.
