Heinz, the profit picture looks even more dicey when you consider that a lot of big high techs rely on monopoly-like powers to shake down their profits. Consider the Baby Bells, cable TV providers, big long distance companies, and Microsoft, and notice they all have confusing prices designed to rip off their customers, but whose customers will abandon them with a vengeance if given the chance. But the markets haven't been about profits for a long time anyway - its about how long this ponzi scheme can be fed with borrowed money.
