Accrding to CNN , Apple's value on the stock market briefly rose to $400 billion on Thursday,a record high for what was already the world's most valuable technology company. The company's market cap slipped below the $400 billion mark by midday as Apple's stock fell back from the all-time high of $431.37 it set earlier in the morning. Shares ended the day slightly down, leaving Apple with a $398 billion market value. Still, that puts Apple in some pretty exclusive territory. Only Exxon Mobil has a higher valuation, at about $420 billion. PetroChina  is Apple's closest competitor, at $270 billion, and Microsoft follows at $235 billion.  Apple's market cap is higher than the gross domestic product of Greece, Austria, Argentina, or South Africa. (For more comparisons, check out this excellent blog: Things Apple is Worth More Than .) Despite its size, Apple is still one of the fastest growing technology companies. The company will report its finances for the p...

One of the Apple's co-founder Steve Wozniak said that he prefers Google Android phones, for certain functions. He quotes 'My primary phone is the iPhone, I love the beauty of it. But I wish it did all the things my Android does, I really do.' His comments, in an interview with the Daily Beast, are in stark contrast to Steve Jobs' take on Android, which according to him is a 'stolen product'.  Android, created by Google, entered the market after Apple but soon gained greater market share. A lot of Apple fans dismiss Android as a ripoff of Apple’s ideas, and a crappy one at that. Apple has conducted high-profile lawsuits around the world against Android phone manufacturers such as Samsung, HTC to restrict them from selling Android phones. Although, he is no longer an employee of Apple, Wozniak is often pictured camped out overnight for Apple iPhone launches, and is a very vocal fan of the Apple smartphones, so his comments might come as a surprise to some. B...
