With all the awesome Innovation coming from Google, (glass, self driving cars, android, chrome, docs, gmail, let alone search) one wonders why they weren't the most valuable company in the world a few months back over a fruit company with all their products based around a single point of failure (itunes)

Because the stock market doesn't care how awesome your innovation is. All they see is $$$ in profit. That's why it's an oil company sitting on top now (take your pick of tech companies; I'll bet most/all of them are innovating more than Exxon)

Tech companies are a lot more volatile. Any of their innovations can flop, but the world runs on oil. That's the reason Exxon is #1. They are a rock solid company. Kinda like Philip Morris, nothing like an addicted user base to feed you consistent profits.
