Search giant Google got a little bigger on Monday when it became more valuable than Microsoft
for the first time.
The change is just the latest signal that the technology sector has shifted away from hardware
and hard-copy software sales toward Internet ads and mobile technology.
At the close of markets on Monday, Google had a market value of $249.9billion, compared to
$247.2billion for Microsoft.
Apple, the second-largest publicly-traded company in the world, remains bigger than both
competitors put together. Its stocks are worth $618.1billion combined.
