California Passes Texas by One Business Measure

California just beat Texas by one business measure.

That measure? Most valuable company in America.

In trading Tuesday, the value of Apple -- the California technology company -- surpassed that of the previous #1, Exxon Mobil, the Texas oil giant.

This could change as soon as, well, Wednesday. So Californians should celebrate while they can.
