Do Amazon really want to go head-to-head with Apple?

Apple now has more cash to spend than the United States government.

Latest figures from the US Treasury Department show that the country has an operating cash balance of $73.7bn (£45.3bn).

Apple's most recent financial results put its reserves at $76.4bn.
(A difference is that Apple is profitable, the US government isn't.)
