You would probably never have known who Bailey was if it hadn't been for his second and (especially) third marriages, which gained him widespread publicity. His second wife was to the French actress Catherine Deneuve, which certainly helped his career. His third marriage was to the US supermodel Marie Helvin. Until his marriage to Deneuve he was one of many fashion photographers in London. One of the better ones, perhaps. He was well known in that industry but not at all well known outside. However, it was his 1975 marriage to the very well known Helvin that turned him into a 'real' celebrity, a fact that got him the lucrative and enduring deal with Olympus that started several years later. That you don't appear to know who any of these people are, or that Bailey was ever married (four times, in fact) is really neither here nor there. ;-)

Microsoft's income is more than twice Google's. Apple's is about half again Google's. As for Google being "one of the biggest businesses on the planet", Microsoft is 119 on the list of businesses with more than 40 billion revenue. Google doesn't even get on the list. Toyota is ten times the size of Google and it's not even the biggest. You people really should fact-check before you spout off this kind of nonsense.

Market caps: Apple (AAPL): 227.43B Google (GOOG): 154.37B Microsoft (MSFT): 228.47B Interesting that Apple and Microsoft are now essentially dead even. -- Best regards, John Buying a dSLR doesn't make you a photographer, it makes you a dSLR owner.
