Out of 30,500 companies, Apple is ranked #2 behind Amazon:
The InfoTech 100
Which companies are logging the strongest growth, which industries are the hottest, and how the winners are faring in a treacherous economic climate
How do you pick the best-performing tech companies in the world? At BusinessWeek, we sort through the financial results of 30,500 publicly traded companies and rank the tech players on four criteria: shareholder return, return on equity, total revenues, and revenue growth. The companies leading the list are those with the lowest aggregate ranking.
Amazon.com and Apple took the top two spots this year. Still, the dominance of U.S. companies is in decline: The country has 33 companies among the IT 100 this year, down from 43 in 2007. When we first started compiling the list in 1998 to rank tech’s top performers, 75 of the winners were U.S. companies.

The Zune Social may be winding down. One big retailer, GameStop, has decided to stop selling
Microsoft’s digital music players because of a lack of demand. FromTheStreet.com:
“We have decided to exit the Zune category because it just did not have the appeal we had anticipated,” said a GameStop spokesperson. “It (also) did not fit with our product mix.”
Why is this not a surprise? Microsoft has sold only 2 million Zune’s since it launched the device in November, 2006. Apple, in contrast, sold 10.6 million iPods last quarter.
GameStop will try to sell the rest of its Zune inventory online. And if that doesn’t work, it can always go the Atari route and lay them to rest in a landfill.

…Verizon’s XV6900 (an, ahem, attention-grabbing name; another missed lesson)
every week there’s a different 99 cent movie rental of the week. so far, they’ve been a pretty good selection of movies from the past. this site lists the current movie, and gives you all sorts of ways to be notified – the easiest way of course, is to just sign up for email notification.
Apple was the only company to score higher than 80 out of 100 in desktop and notebook support. No other maker of home computers scored higher than 66 on either type of machine.
