If money is how we keep score, why do we keep referencing figures that don't include Google or Microsoft's profits from the smartphone market? What about all the money Microsoft makes from Android, or that Google makes from iOS? Where do they fit in?

And is money really the best metric? After all, with the best CEO in the world, and the best COO, and the best product designer, and the best phone, and the best tablet, and all the other amazing qualities that people ascribe to Apple, and it has only just recently, for a short period made more money than Microsoft, which is run by a shaved baboon and done nothing more interesting than buying their way into the console market at a cost of tens of billions.
