Google, Microsoft claiming Apple's crown, albeit from 1994 (editorial)
Google is riding high, with a peak stock valuation and an army of devoted fans ready to explain why none of the problems the company is facing (including its clumsy transition to mobile) are actually problems. Companies that make money never stop making money, right?
Then there's Microsoft, which has been losing its fans like a data center after a catastrophic power system failure. Ten years ago, Microsoft was 'the Google,' making money so fast and furiously that nobody could imagine its fortunes ever changing. I remember arguing this possibility with the Internet, and being told (even by Apple fans) that I shouldn't say such things if I wanted to retain any credibility. Because change never happens, right?
I didn't predict that Microsoft would completely fail at mobile and be forced to watch Apple beat it in the enterprise. I merely suggested that Apple would survive and retain a growing market of customers, because it had addressed the problems that had earlier forced it into decline and was now executing successfully as a profitable company building products that customers wanted.
There's lots of evidence that Google is now following Microsoft's decline into beleaguerment, and that Microsoft still has a long way to fall before it hits the bottom, with Google right behind it. Essentially, they're wrong, here's why.

Here's what it's like to intern at Apple $$$$
...That intern culture extends to housing, which Apple organizes.
"The greatest thing with housing is that you are not alone, you share it with three others interns from all around the world," said Maxime Britto on Quora, who worked on the Safari team. "It is a great way to learn and mix with other cultures."
And that's all without mentioning one of the most attractive elements: great pay.
"If this is important to you, Apple offers the highest intern pay of any internship I've heard of, including the wonderful California overtime rules," Sharpe said.
