maxshmax··on Apple becomes the first $1T company
It's worth noting that this is the first U.S. company to hit $1 trillion, not in the world. Also, it's still intraday, so Apple has not technically reached that point yet.
maxshmax··on ‘OK Google, give everybody in America a free speaker’
I should have clarified better - who would go to Amazon for their voice products, e.g., Alexa
maxshmax··on ‘OK Google, give everybody in America a free speaker’
