The correct answer would be, Apple > Google - at least for now. Its surprising if you have been following fortunes in the tech industry. Uptil some time back Apple was down in the dump and critics had already written it off. The resurgence was led by Steve Jobs in his 2nd avatar with iPods and iPhones, but was it enough to reach the point where they could overtake Google - who had already had so much of a head start and was never down in the dumps ? Well, apparently it was. Thats what the market says.

Apples market capitalization at $159.37 billion is now worth more than Googles which is at $157.56 billion.
