- In terms of total assets, IBM and HP make the other companies look small.
- Microsoft has twice the assets of Google.
- Google has twice the assets of eBay and more than twice the assets of Yahoo.
- Google’s and Apple’s war chests are almost exactly the same size, just under 25 billion USD. However, these numbers are from the end of 2009, before Google went on its recent shopping spree.
- The only company of the 15 we included with a bigger war chest than Microsoft is Cisco, the networking giant.
- Comparing AMD and Intel is like comparing David and Goliat, at least in terms of assets. Intel has almost six times the assets of AMD.
- Oracle, Apple and Intel have almost exactly the same amount of total assets, just over 53 billion USD.
- Companies that can quickly convert more than half of their total assets to cash: Cisco, Google, and Novell.

Cisco straight has the cash money. Would love to see social networks' cash money.
