Today the media was abuzz about how Apple’s market cap has sustained itself beyond Google’s. That didn’t hold for today, but by the end of business yesterday, Apple was number one in Silicon Valley.

It was nice to play kingmaker for a day, but the credit does ultimately go to Apple. I’d like to like the MacBook Air, so here’s hoping they get it right the second time around.
