I would have said ‘you are insane’ if you’ve told me, ‘Apple would worth more than Google one day’ four years back. However, you would know today that you’d not been wrong at all in predicting that. Yep, Apple is worth $147.56 billion while Google is worth $144.2 billion.

This is a sad aftermath of the gloomy adieu of Eric Schmidt from Apple board. The two companies, which we consider once as hand and glove are now going to compete with every bit of their claws and nails. Safari against Google Chrome, Android against iPhone OS and Mac OS X against Chrome OS.

This overtaking business has happened sooner than expected, thanks to the boom of the iPhone and the iPod touch. Apple is on its way to catch up with Microsoft which for now is far ahead at $208.69 billion. How long is the intriguing questions I’d like to ask you all. Make your predictions and guesses now.
