Steve Jobs, Eric Schmidt and Mark Zuckerberg to Meet With President Obama Thursday in San Francisco

I’d love to hear anything Steve Jobs has to say in a conversation about fixing things in this country. And while I’m sure Schmidt’s presence will only fan the flames of Glenn Beck’s towering inferno of crazy (see below), the former Google CEO has got some time on his hands and could make a great political advisor. As for Zuckerberg: if he couldn’t stop sweating on stage with Swisher and Mossberg, I hope he brings the prescription-strength anti-perspirant tonight.

Apple Now The Most Valuable Tech Company By $100 Billion

As the article notes: that makes Apple worth roughly an HP (market cap: $105bn) more than any other tech company.

Meanwhile Google is catching on Microsoft fast (Up over $100/share in the past year, GOOG’s market cap is now only $28bn behind MSFT). And coming up in the rear, there’s Facebook, who’s on pace for a $10 trillion IPO in 2012 last I checked.

Google Voice Is About To Take Off: Number Porting Coming Soon For $20

Despite the initial TechCrunch report, this isn’t for mainstream consumption–yet. From a statement by Google:

“We’re continually testing new features to enhance the user experience. For a limited amount of time, we’re making the Google Voice number porting process available to users. We don’t have any additional details to share at this time, but plan to offer this feature to all users in the near future.”

New Estimate: Facebook Books $1.86B in 2010 Advertising

Perhaps most interesting: growth seems to be fueled by self-service customers, not large advertisers. And while an annual number of $1.68Bn doesn’t even reach what Google books in a month, you have to believe the folks in Mountain View really hate seeing Zuck & Co. encroaching fast on the self-serve online ad territory they so thoroughly dominated for the last half decade.
