Hell Froze Over...

After my post last week comparing Apple's $100 Billion market cap with other similar tech behemoths, it occurred to me that it's become kind of silly to keep that white Apple logo sticker on the back window of my car.

They're not exactly "counterculture" or whatever anymore (assuming they ever were), are they? The logo used to be the sign of sort of a secret club--something like the Christian "fish" logo (which is now, of course, countered by the "Darwin" versions, etc). If you saw the missing-bite logo sticker on someone else's car, you gave a quiet little nod of acknowledgement.

I'm thinking that with the runaway success of the iPod, the (apparent) home run of the iPhone, and the reliably healthy boom in Mac sales over the past few years, that "secret club" feeling is inevitably going to wain.

Oh well; at least I'll be able to afford plenty of psychotherapy to deal with this tragedy with the profits from my AAPL investment...
