Am I the only one who is tired of being updated what Apples market cap is now bigger than?

At first they were interesting stats, but in reality it isn't overly useful information.

This. Clearly Apple is a hugely successful company. Are they ultimately more valuable than all of those companies combined? Not a chance.

The case could be made that those companies are undervalued or that Apple is overvalued but ultimately the comparison itself isn't very meaningful without any kind of opinion/analysis behind it.

Skip the story, not a big hassle. There are lots of stories on HN I am not interested in, yet do not feel the need to write about it. This should always be a rule.

I think it is pretty amazing, and only recently remember when it was big news that Apple were worth more than Microsoft.
