I hate to gloat. Really, I do. But this is just so tasty. Via /.:
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.’“
