Thats interesting. Fabs usually price at $1.5B+, in the Third World.

I thought that was Kodak?

THIS IS A SIG LINE; NOT TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY!

Al Gore's son was pulled over by police on the
San Diego Freeway Tuesday with marijuana, Valium,
Xanax and Vicodin on him. The kid never had a
chance. He got hooked on downers at an early
age listening to his father read him bedtime
stories.

May be a difference between " the largest company that makes digital
cameras" and " the company that makes the largest number of digital
cameras". Also, there may be a difference between "the company that has
the biggest sales amount from digital cameras" and "the company that
makes the largest number of digital cameras" - I suspect much of Kodak's
output is at the lower end of the market.

Or even "the company that makes the world's largest digital
camera" ;-)
