Google Market Cap Exceeds IBM
,----[ Quote ]
| Last week, Google stock hit an all-time high of $541 with a market cap of
| $169 billion (yes, with a B). That put their value higher than IBM's
| and on par with Cisco. Not bad for a company with an open
| source infrastructure.

Linux geeks who started in a garage just 9 years ago.
