Microsoft's stock took its biggest one-day fall in more than five years Friday, shaving about $32 billion off the company's market value.
That's enough to buy Starbucks, with plenty left over to treat everyone in China to a tall cafe Americano. Or maybe buy Costco and Getty Images and get back about $2 billion in pocket change.
It's almost as much as the United States spends every three months in Iraq and Afghanistan.
I love it, great read.
