What so big fuzz about this? There is nothing special in this. Next year apple will go down another 100 places. They have been in this position by copying other mobile companies especially Samsung. Now they are unable to copy much. There is a limit in everything.

Proctor Gamble, Colgate Palmolive higher than Google? The list must be based on innovative offshore tax dodges.
