Today Google, next year, M$!
Anyone looking at these numbers? Trillions??
Let me know when they pass up Wal-mart and ExxonMobile.
Wouldn’t the real questions be how many shares are out there to generate the market cap, and how much of the company is owned by the company itself?
ron…
Three words: Shane Keith Warne.
As a Brit, I wish this guy would retire as I find his appearance on a Test pitch highly worrying.
As an armchair cricket fan, I find the way he can make a ball dance around fascinating.
Dmitri:
Why RNWK has such hive valuation? They have only one revenue stream…
@Sum Jung Gai
Yes, until today.
Whoops… I left out my reply!
I meant to add, “To bad it’s still buffering!”
“the good news comes when Apple surpasses M$.” – @ G4Dualie
False, the good news comes when Apple earns more $ than M$.
Explain how what I said is false. And try not to leave anything out, k?
Me thinks Google stock price is quite inflated.
Google is hollow. They’ve made a lot of money screwing up the web, turning the internet into one big commercial. Now when you search for info, you get someone trying to sell you what you’re looking for. Overall, it’s not a benefit.
What search engine doesn’t do that?
One of those is my middle name, so don’t wear it out.
I just think it’s sweet that Apple is almost worth the combined market caps of HP and Dell. Especially when virtually every Windows zealot who harps on about the importance of market share always takes great joy in reminding us that Apple’s market share comes in third place to these two.
LOL

Isn’t a googly, a screwball?
makes me really miss fake steve….
Revenge is best served cold…. hehe
Now Google has to work out how to make Google Apps pay. At least Apple is charging for MobileMe from the start.
So if Apple shares are worth $157,012,662,240 does that mean Apple would sell them for $232,194,231,123 just because their customers love to pay more just because it’s “Apple”?
Its amazing that apple is worth anything close to that working with macs and mac servers you quickly realize that it is all over priced emachines. For everything they hammer Microsoft with they are just as bad at. One client of mine a school system has completly over paid and are still paying for macbooks that have had a 40% failure rate in the first year. I have not seen that with any other vendor ever!!
MDN: Show AT&T;in the list.

So why do we Apple employees still have to pay for lunch in the company cafeteria? Why are we on average underpaid with a very frenetic work pace and extremely poor life-work balance? Why does Apple consistently fail to get on the 50 or even 100 best places to work lists? Why do Apple employees live in fear of losing their jobs much more than at most companies?
It amazes me. Yeah their hardware is pretty. Yeah a lot “just works”. But then a lot doesn’t. The mobileMe was largely a total failure. I still can’t dependably see my calendars on the webapp. The email app was down more than up for over a week. The push technology largely isn’t there at all, especially not to the desktop. I can’t dependably sync my data across all my machines and iPhone. iCal and Mail crash or lock up more often than I am happy with. AdressBook is more than a little dated. iCal can’t handled recurring tasks.
So how come some of this wealth isn’t going into a lot better software design, process and :QA? I know from friends working there that their are very serious lacks in these areas. How come?
@junklin
iCal can’t handled recurring tasks.
wanna bet? loser.
Im amazed that such a crap company that makes products that dont work in the real world gets so much money.
Then again, apple must live by this train of thought “an idiot with 5 dollars is just as good as an intelligent person with 5 dollars.”
