Exactly! One of the best essay in PG's H&Ps book in my opinion was the one that explains how winning doesn't have to be a zero-sum game, you can generate wealth. This seems a no brainer but a lot of people don't get it.

Many predict that a similar thing will happen in the battle between Google and Apple.

Interesting in the similarities? Compare it with Microsoft (MSFT), the ups and downs appear to be more due to economic shifts than any connection between the two. AAPL/GOOG is definitely closer than AAPL/MSFT, but part of that could simply be due to that both are growing and changing quickly, and are less immune to economic forces than entrenched-MSFT.

GOOG is now selling at about its mid 2005 price while APPL is about 350% above its mid 2005 price.

Add MSFT and put the graph in Max, gives another interesting perspective
