lot of the coverage. the "independent writing" this is not about bad apples, this is the horror of war. armies are horrible creatures and soldiers do wicked things. when we accept all these lies about bad apples and the exceptionalism of crime in war, we are accepting war and going along with the dishonesty of it.

have two separate privacy policies. lisa sylvester, cnn, washington. >> former tech titan apple has overtaken exxonmobile as the world's most valuable publicly traded company. its stock price jumped by more than 6% on wall street on wednesday pushing the company's total market value or capitalization to just shy of $420 billion. the exact figure is 419. that means it's $1 billion more than the perennial champ is exxon. the share price followed record earnings. another talking point is just as interesting when it comes to apple and we're talking about its bank balance. this is because apple revealed it's sitting on a pot worth just shy of $100 billion. it has a whopping $97.6 billion in the bank. that's a serious pot of cash. and it's of course well in excess of the total market value of a number of the company's rivalries. let's take a look at one of the most successful players in this field, amazon. it's the maker of the kindle ereader. it has a cap of $85.4 billion. if we take a look at dell next down the line, it's worth about a third of that. also we should mention hewlett-packa

without talking about apple. i'm an apple freak myself. >> yes. a lot to talk about on the apple side, and these are merely guesses, but i will tell you probably the biggest question i get is when is the ipad 5 coming out, probably fall for iphone 5, maybe february for ipad 3, but let's talk about something that a lot of people didn't expect, and we got a little insight of steve jobs' biography written by walter isaacson, talk of an apple tv. not the settop box most people know, the apple tv, an apple television. what's exciting about this is apple could really shake up the television market. a lot of rumors speculating that there could be use of siri, so you might be able to control your television with your voice, and also have an a la carte channel programming lineup. now, we know that would be very tough to do with cable and licensing, but if any company has the clout to do it, it is apple. so, looking forward to that itv probably later in 2012. >> i got that book for christmas. i haven't gotten to that part. i'll have to flip ahead and see. sounds intriguing. also on your li

heard about comparing apples and onlies. how about this matchup? the white house versus an apple store? which power hub carries a higher value by the square foot. . >>> so what's worth more, an apple store or the white house? felicia taylor, that's an interesting question. >> yeah, it is. sort of like, um, how do you compare an apple store with the white house? actually, it's about a tie. they're both worth about $4700 per square foot. $4700 per square foot. it's an interesting fact but like i said, it's not really an apples to apples comparison. apple's numbers are based on how much it sells per square foot. the white house is based on real estate value. it does show what a behemoth apple has become. based on these numbers, apple is the most valuable chain in the united states. impressive considering it opened its store just about 11 years ago, which frankly in corporate history, that's not that long ago. so, it's kind of a tie frankly. >> interesting. all right. felicia taylor, thank you so much. >>> we are going to talk coming up about mitt romney, coming out swinging. taking

chaos as apple released the iphone 4s in china today? they actually had to close the flagship store in beijing after people went completely insane. look at this. it was -- i don't think we ever use the word riot. but stan was there. running with security guards earlier today. stan, what exactly happened? >> crazy is the word that comes to mind when you look at those images. here's what happened. people spent the night camping out outside the store. jub zero, freezing temperatures. waiting for the store to open at 7:00 a.m. when they could get their hands on the iphone 4s. this was meant to be the official release. the police got concerned about the numbers of and what might happen when the door open. they told the store not to open 3e7 when they that was announced, people started pelting the store with eggs. security from apple came out to move people back. they were physically attacked. they chased the security down to an alley. more punches were thrown at them. police came in and dragged people away from there as well. at the end of the day, apple has had to suspend the sale of any o

that way. of course, we can't talk about tech without talking about apple. i'm an apple freak myself. >> yes. a lot to talk about on the apple side. and these are merely guesses, but i will tell probably the biggest question again is when's the iphone 5 coming out, when's the ipad 3 coming out? maybe around fall for iphone 5, maybe as early as february for ipad 3. let's talk about something that we didn't expect, we got an insight of steve jobs' biography, talk of an appletv. not the set topbox that most people know, an actual television. and what's exciting about this, apple could really shake up the television market. a lot of rumors speculating that there could be use of series, so you could be able to control your television with your voice, and have an a la carte programming lineup. we know that would be very tough to do with programming and licensing, but if any company has the clout to do it, it is apple. >> i got that book for christmas. chbt gotten to that part. i'll have to flip ahead and see. sounds intriguing. also on your list, a new kind of photography? >> yes. no camer

, "the new york times" detailed how apple's iphone ended up being made outside america. "the times" wrote about the apple executives who visited a factory in china to see if it could cut the glass precisely for the phone's touch screen. when the apple team got there, the factory owners were already constructing a new wing. this is in case you give us the contract. the manager explained. how could they afford such an extravagant gesture? well, it turns out "the times" noted that they received subsidies from the chinese government. that one incident is part of a pattern. in 2009, for example, bridgelux, a light-emitting chip manufacturer in the united states, was searching for a new factory site. the company considered the cost of building in the u.s. and elsewhere. the government of singapore offered to pay half the setup costs of the plant. why can't we do that here in the u.s., the ceo, bill watkins, asked? the ceo of dow chemical has been arguing for a national policy aimed at reviving manufacturing. in his book "make it in america," livers argues that not only would a manufacturing pol

apple products. the reasons that hon hai is up is that investors are reacting to impressive earnings last week by apple. >> andrew, as you said before, asian stocks may have been on the slide. these stocks are up 2% right now and 12% so far this year. the european air carrier has raised its four year profit from 440 million euros to 480. that's roughly equivalent to some $630 million. ryanair says increased fairs have made up the profits. the airline's third quarter earnings also beat estimates coming in at nearly 15 million our rows or $20 million here. that compares to a loss of more than 10 million our rows in the same period last year. the ceo is joining us live from the london stock exchange. good to see, u. thank you for coming on "world business today." you must be happy with this set of earnings especially how they compare to last year's earnings. how are you managing to ride out the euros storm? as we've got these ministers converging on brussels for a summit, what would be your message to them? >> i think what we want is we need decisive action. europe is limping along. the

? >> ramy, thanks very much for that. at least on a brighter note, for some investors, shares of apple have reached a record high. four years after steve jobs rejoined the company and a year after it bought out the first ipod, apple shares are worth just over $11. this is what's happened since. ten years and hups of millions of iphones later, the stock is worth this much. $424.70. if you bought shares of apple in 2002, your investment would be worth 40 times what you paid for it back then. hindsight is a wonderful thing, nina. >> certainly is. it's also a dangerous thing as many an investor will tell you, andrew. historical performance is no guarantee of future returns, is it? that's certainly the kind of thing we're seeing on the european stock markets today. after two straight days of gains for these markets, they finally turned. as you can see, all of them down to the tune of one-third of 1% to .1 of 1% on the dax. this is the growth prospects coming out of the influential world bank. it is concerned about a shortlived recession for the eurozone and the world's developing countries that
