Apple's Market Cap Exceeds Google's

Posted by samzenpus on from the big-apple dept.

Lawrence Person writes "Mac Daily News was one of many Apple-followers to note that Apple Inc.'s market capitalization exceeded Google today. That means that the combined value of all Apple's outstanding shares of stock exceeded the combined value of all Google's outstanding shares of stock. Apple's stock is worth $157 billion and change vs. Google's $156 billion. Other companies Apple has surpassed in market cap include Cisco, HP, and Intel. Also, Apple is now worth 3 times the value of Dell Computer, despite Dell's founder and CEO declaring over a decade ago that if he ran Apple, he'd 'shut it down and give the money back to the shareholders.'"

    re-re-built Dell laptop replacing an iMac here, after an amazingly easy cpu fan replacement. iMac? can't even update flash, or anything else. So the Dell might be slow. So what. It gets Gramma her email, and lets her click forward. iMac? Nothing but page fails and hollers to fix it. For me, 30 years as spacecraft engineer and physicist says no chance any Apple toy will be allowed in any of my labs or homes, until they're open source/hardware. So I can fix the crap. And that's what I tell my students.
