Wow. Yesterday was September 7. I must be losing my mind.
You have. But everyone should feel sorry for RealNetworks. They’ve been stuck at .28B for a very long time now.
I would not mind being stuck at .28B. However, with that kind of worth I’d be sitting on considerably more AAPL, and would have burn lots of money to hold it at .28B.
It’s been so long, I forgot why we’re tracking Real Networks valuation.

What did Google do today?
Troubles in German (Munich) court and Google lost a billion dollar Apple patent infringement lawsuit in U.S. court a few weeks ago.
Google stock consistently closed higher than Apple the past couple weeks.

Congrats, Apple.
Google’s stock has never closed higher than Apple if you do a true comparison. To do that, you have to look at Market Cap and not Share Price. Apple has almost three times the shares outstanding than Google does. Thats Why Apple is valued at 640 Billion and Google is only valued at 230 Billion. Stock price is only one number in the multiple that you have to use to do a true comparison. Google & Apple – Not Even Close!
Thanks @AdMan.
I was focusing on the daily share price pissing match battle and not on multiple value or total wealth.
If you follow both stocks daily the closing price of Google has been consistently higher than Apple. Exception recently is a few days following the Apple court victory over Samsung.
Overall as you pointed out, no comparison.
