Re: The United States of Apple
Market cap weighting is such baloney. An identical situation occured with financial earnings before the blowup.

Re: The United States of Apple
I really have to hand it to Apple's marketing department. There was a week or so before Jobs passed when Apple was the largest company by market cap. They're bigger than GE, AT&T, Chevron, etc. They are extremely litigious and have draconian EULA terms. Yet somehow they're perceived as the think-different, counterculture, anti-corporate, underdog. What can I say; hand it to marketing!
