At some point I would expect Google to surpass Apple in value as they have a much broader portfolio and are driving or attempting to drive technological innovations on a lot of fronts right now. From a cloud based os to self-driving cars and everyting in between, they are truly innovating. Where as Apple's last two best known innovations, Siri and Maps, were mostly bought. And most other aspects of what they are doing are simply catching up to the competition (iPhone 5 size, LTE, processor speed, etc). Sure, not everything Google tries is successful (Google TV), but that's life on the bleeding edge. They have a lot of irons in the fire right now.
Now, don't get me wrong, I'm no fanboy and neither company is what I would consider "good", I have major issues with the way each does business. But I am much more interested with what comes out of Google these days than Apple. You just never know what the heck they will come up with, it's fun to watch.
