I think Truthdig is an awesome web site, but "Apple Passes Microsoft to Become the World’s Biggest Tech Company" is just sloppy:
Apple fan-boys and -girls, rejoice. The iCorporation is now worth more than the dreaded Microsoft. But don’t get too excited: Bill Gates’ gang has a few ideas to get back in the game, and some bloggers claim that Google, whose Android is outselling the iPhone, “has leapfrogged” Apple in terms of innovation.
Whatever threats Google and Microsoft pose, Apple is now the king of the hill. It’s a fable worthy of David and Goliath, with a little Lazarus thrown in.
One Wikipedia search would reveal that Samsung brings in more revenue than Microsoft and Apple combined, as Hewlett-Packard has probably done every year since either company was founded. IBM definitely was bigger than both put together up until about 2008, now it's just almost as big as the two combined.
This is another example of the raving love the press shows for all things Apple, they've always pretended Apple was the best, now they pretend that they're the biggest.
