If you ever wondered why there are so many reporters -- like this one -- covering Apple (AAPL), here's a clue:
According to Thursday's Wall Street Journal, eight out of 10 of the most-read corporate news stories on WSJ.com in 2011 were about Steve Jobs or the company he brought back from the brink of bankruptcy.
Only the nasty things Microsoft (MSFT) co-founder Paul Allen had to say about Bill Gates and the liquidation of the second-largest bookstore chain in the U.S. prevented a clean sweep.
Here, in order, is WSJ.com's top 10 list:
1. Steve Jobs' obituary
2. Verizon lands the iPhone
3. Jobs quits as Apple's CEO
4. Apple's new iPad in production
5. Sprint to get the iPhone
6. The iPhone 4S "fails to wow"
7. Jobs introduces the iPad 2
8. Apple and Google's "locationgate"
9. Borders forced to liquidate
10. Microsoft co-founder lashes out

Paul Allen's advice for Microsoft
The Microsoft co-founder's tell-all is making waves with stories about a young Bill Gates. Now Allen tells Fortune what he thinks of the company the two built from scratch.
FORTUNE -- For decades, Microsoft (MSFT) co-founder Paul Allen kept a low profile, or at least as low as his $14 billion fortune probably allowed. He's occasionally spotted on his $162 million private yacht, palling around with Brad and Angelina, and taking MORE

It is safe to say that no one saw this coming, which may mean that there is some truth to Google's statements.
Every time there is change at the top of a company, customers, vendors, shareholders...just about everyone wants to know what happened. Often it isn't good news. But, buried in yesterday's management shakeup news, Google's (GOOG) earnings beat the street. Year over year growth was up almost 30%. Outside of Facebook MORE

Paul Allen: Gunning for Google
An analysis of his latest suit suggests Android's maker has more to fear than Apple does
FOSS Patents' Florian Mueller, whose judgment I've come to trust when it comes to high-tech intellectual property disputes, makes two interesting points about the patent infringement suit Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen refiled Tuesday against nearly a dozen companies, including Apple (AAPL), Google (GOOG), eBay (EBAY), Facebook, Yahoo (YHOO), Netflix (NFLX) and AOL (AOL).
