Apple is bigger than IBM (http://www.macworld.co.uk/business/news/index.cfm?RSS&NewsID=19472)

Apple has become the most valuable computer maker in the world.

Driven by the company's record-setting Q4 financial results and a wave of positive upgrades from analysts across the board, Apple's shares shot North to close at $186.10 per share last night. While the shares have lost $1.80 on early trading, the company's market capital remains around the $161.84 billion mark.

That's higher than IBM ($155b); Intel ($156b), Nokia ($150b). It puts Apple into fourth place in the top technology stocks, behind Cisco ($189b), Google ($208b) and Microsoft ($290b).

i do not know jack about the stock market, but thats gotta be a good thing.
