BusinessWeek online published their list of the top 100 Information Technology companies today, and Apple ranks at number four, up from number six in 2005. Interestingly, Apple is the only American company in the top ten. Other major contenders are from Taiwan, Mexico, Japan, and Spain. An overview of Apple is posted on the BusinessWeek website with some interesting facts about the company. For example did you know Apple has nearly 15,000 employees, a 56% yearly sales growth, and 1.73 billion in profits?
You mean $17.3 billion in revenues, not in profits. Even Microsoft doesn't have $17 billion a year in profit.
