"If Apple was a country, its annual sales—nearly $400 billion last year—would make it roughly the 40th biggest economy in the world, ahead of Iran and on par with Denmark." the era of companies as nation-states has only just begun IMO

@codinghorror I wonder how much of tech company power comes from interoperability being almost impossible. Anyone can make a train or phone line but only Apple can make iphones that talk to apple cloud services. IMO in order to reduce their power they should probably be forced to interoperate more aggressivly at local levels.
