Way back in late 2007, we declared "the sky's the limit for Google stock," which at the time was trading at just over $600 per share. Nearly six years later, that might still be true.

Apple stocks tumbled 11% post-MacWorld, perhaps as a result of nothing more impressive than the MacBook Air to show off this year. That's not to say that the MacBook Air isn't impressive, but it's hard to outdo the announcement of the iPhone and Apple TV with a thin & light laptop that doesn't really cater to either the college crowd...
