Shortly before 2pm, Apple's stock gained 3.4% to $365.10 bringing market capitalization to about $338 billion. Exxon Mobil shares, given global oil pressures on macro-economic fears, were trading at $69.23, down 1.4%, giving the oil company a market cap of $337 billion.

Apple Devices Set To Dominate Through 2011 (Fortune)
Both Apple's Mac and iPad lineup are poised to make significant gains in the second half of 2011, as the Windows-based PC market flatlines. Deutsche Bank analyst Chris Whitmore believes the traditional PC market does not have "meaningful new offerings" coming this year, while Apple is aggressive with both new hardware and software. Whitmore also maintains that the recent launch of Mac OS X 10.7 Lion and Thunderbolt-equipped MacBook Airs may ultimately do more to shift Apple into control of the global market for portable computers than even the iPad alone.

iTunes Not Close To Streaming Service According To Film Industry (CNet)
The rumors from last week about Apple being on the verge of launching a cloud movie service, which would enable iTunes users to stream movies from Apple's servers and then re-download them to other devices, are at best premature. Apple has yet to sign cloud agreements for feature films with at least four of the top six film studios, according to multiple film industry sources. Read »

In Another Horrible Decision, Tribune Company Making Its Own Tablet (CNN)
Need another reason why newspapers are going down the toilet? The Tribune Company, one of the largest newspaper companies in the country including the Chicago Tribune, Los Angeles Times and The Baltimore Sun, wants to create an Android-powered tablet for subscribers.

Heard of the App Store? Read »

It is very rare to find an investment that is simultaneously a growth investment and a value investment. Read »
