According to <a href=\"http:\/\/screener.finance.yahoo.com\/newscreener.html\">Yahoo&#8217;s stock screener tool<\/a> (Google either doesn&#8217;t have one or I couldn&#8217;t find it), Google is still well behind Exxon Mobil ($461-billion), GE ($378-billion) and Citigroup ($260-billion). It&#8217;s still almost 50 per cent smaller than Microsoft ($283-billion) and is considerably smaller than Wal-Mart ($204-billion). However, it is well ahead of IBM ($151-billion), Intel ($123-billion) and Hewlett-Packard ($121-billion).
