Apple Has Gained One Facebook In Value Since Steve Job's Death

We had spotted multiple Facebook statistics. We spotted this today:

"On Oct. 4, the day before Steve Jobs passed away, Apple (AAPL) shares closed at $372.50 and its market cap stood at $347 billion.
Four months later, the stock is up nearly $100 and its market cap is $437 billion. To put that $90 billion gain in perspective, it's nine tenths the value analysts have placed on Facebook in advance of its initial public offering."
