When its shares closed at $218.95 Friday, Apple (AAPL) became one of the five biggest U.S. companies by market capitalization, right below Wal-Mart (WMT) and above Berkshire Hathaway (BRK-A). (See chart at right.)

Apple (AAPL) shares soared to record levels Friday as the company announced that its iPad tablet computer will go on sale Saturday, April 3, within a few days of its original ship date.

Transparent House, a San Francisco-based 3D design and visualization studio, has released a lovely two-minute animation celebrating 34 years of Apple (AAPL) design.
The video, rendered with Autodesk's (ADSK) 3ds Max and the Chaos Group's V-Ray, took about 10 days to complete. It would probably have been easier to film the thing, but then it wouldn't have MORE

It's not about you anymore. Thank goodness.
It's been a little over three years since Time magazine named "You" its Person of the Year, a heavily mocked yet totally appropriate and even shrewd move by Fortune's sister publication. YouTube was redefining the experience of watching videos. Facebook was picking up steam as the ultimate form of self expression for young people. And blogging was all the rage.
