Smartphone OS's: The Inventors Lose Control

 

 

Here is an interesting question, which we'll pose as an SNS Quiz:

 

Q: What is the most valuable asset in the world?

 

1. All the gold in Fort Knox.

 

2. Manhattan Island.

 

3. An oil well. OK, a thousand oil wells.

 

4. A natural-gas drilling company.

 

5. A casino in Macau.

 

6. High political office in China, the kind that brought just-retired Wen Jiabao's family almost $2B in wealth.

 

7. The world's leading smartphone operating system.
