[0]liqs8143 writes with news that [1]IBM's market cap has surpassed
Microsoft's, making it the second most valuable tech company. When the
market closed on Friday, [2]IBM was valued at $207.52B, while
[3]Microsoft was valued at $206.52B. "At one point during the PC era,
Microsoft's value climbed three times higher than IBM's. Apparently, this
has been a long two decades in Armonk, N.Y., but Microsoft also is no
longer the beast it once was. [4]The guard is changing. Besides Apple,
there is also Google. While Google is valued at about $170.59 billion,
less than the other three, its $31 billion in annual revenue is half of
Microsoft's $69 billion and less than a third of IBM's $101 billion.
Waiting in the wings is Facebook, which has been valued in the private
market for as much as $50 billion, on negligible revenue."
