"Apple has been flirting with the title of 'World's Most Valuable Company' for a good part of 2011," Matt Silverman reports for Mashable.
"At a current valuation of about $370 billion (give or take an app), the tech giant has not only surpassed its competition and other leading multinationals, but entire global industries," Silverman reports. "That's a hard concept for us non-billionaires to wrap our enfeebled minds around."
