What's next?

Which company will be the next Apple or Google? Where to look?
There are certain factors which may help a company to win the next decade. Culture is definitely such a thing if it is well aligned with the strategic goals of the company. Innovation is the next one; striving for new solutions and the willingness to take controlled risks helps to develop the best products and services. 
But that's not all; one must recognize and drive the change. It's what Andy Grove calls the inflection point.  In the recent decades we have seen several such inflection points, e.g. when IMB realized that computers can be standardized and mass produced, pr when some people discovered that integrated circuits can be used to produce computers and visual terminals are almost like computers, than the power of the desktop metaphor or that search is the best way to deal with information overload.  I would guess the next big thing is somewhere around mobile technology. The company will win which is able to connect the dots between mobile devices, cloud services; local data acquisition and large databases (let it be videos, music, traffic, restaurants and so on).
So if I have right we should look for companies with the right culture, innovation, mobile technology, cloud databases and a clear message). If I feed these in silobreaker.com, my favorite site nowadays, it looks like bellow. (I suggest putting the company slide to the maximum).
