If this comes true, then the likes of HP and IBM will seem like small fry to Apple.

Bloomberg interviewed Forrester Research CEO, George Colony, and decided to share with them what he believes will happen over the next two years. He believes that next year Apple will be able to surpass IBM and then HP the following year. We will have to wait and see if this actually happens – we cannot see why not though.

The iPhone maker is no stranger to making it big; they are now the biggest technology company when it comes to market capitalization. Having said that, Apple has had things a little tough over recent weeks; one main reason is due to the health of CEO Steve Jobs. He certainly helped boosts things a few weeks back when he made an appearance at the launch of the iPad 2, but investors still seem a little worried over Steve’s health.

Apple is certainly in a good position, as more consumers buy into their products. One reason for this is because they are not out of reach as they once were. The iPad has and still remains one of the cheapest and best tablet devices on the market, the iPhone is a little on the expensive side, but this has not put off consumers, as they have made it the number one selling handset.

Do you think that Apple will be able to increase its sales growth by 50 percent over the next two years?

The search engine giant is expected to pay $6 billion, which is the world’s largest acquisition; but this has not gone down well with investors, so much so that shares have fallen by 4.5 percent.

Some might say that Google is doing this to grow is business portfolio, and this could be their perfect opportunity to get in on the local advertising market, which is said to be worth $91 billion. According to an article that appears on MSNBC, Reuter’s Alexei Oreskovic said that investors were not happy about Google committing to so much money, especially when they believe that this kind of business has tough competition ahead.

Groupon is perfect for those who wish to save money, but this is not the only service of its kind on the Internet. Those who are singed up to this service will be sent emails each day with details on over 200 offers and discounts.

Deals range from discount codes, buy-one-get-one-free offers, and so much more. Some of the deals that are available on a range of products, such as clothing, jewelry, consumer electronics and even take-away food.

Do you think that Google is taking a chance acquiring Groupon, or is this a market that will be tough for them to make their investment back?
