This week the value of the business capitalization of the Apple company exceeded the figure of 620 billion dollars setting a record for the American stock market and perhaps for the whole world. The increase registered by Apple is due to the rumors regarding the launch of the iPhone 5/iPad Mini, but also to the dividends offered for the first time in the last decade. The value of Apple's stock market capitalization is currently higher than that of the 10 most important technological companies, but also higher than the most powerful media conglomerate in the USA.
Apple is also more valuable than one of the largest companies that extract oil and natural gas, and that says a lot about how powerful the company founded by Steve Jobs is now.
