Show HN: My weekend project for those who obsessively follow AAPL, GOOG & MSFT

I'd love to see net income in those columns!<p>From Wikipedia:<p>AAPL: $ 14.01 billion [1]<p>MSFT: $ 18.760 billion [2]<p>GOOG: $ 8.505 billion [3]<p>[1] <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Inc" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Inc</a>.<p>[2] <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft</a><p>[3] <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google</a>

Couldn't you just use the multi-quote search option on Yahoo! Finance? Streaming quotes, charts, multiple views and de-duping of news articles.<p><a href="http://finance.yahoo.com/quotes/AAPL,MSFT,GOOG/view/v1" rel="nofollow">http://finance.yahoo.com/quotes/AAPL,MSFT,GOOG/view/v1</a> <a href="http://finance.yahoo.com/quotes/AAPL,MSFT,GOOG/view/dv" rel="nofollow">http://finance.yahoo.com/quotes/AAPL,MSFT,GOOG/view/dv</a><p>Want to add more quotes? Just add it to the URL (or use the Add Symbol option on the page) <a href="http://finance.yahoo.com/quotes/AAPL,MSFT,GOOG,YHOO/view/v1" rel="nofollow">http://finance.yahoo.com/quotes/AAPL,MSFT,GOOG,YHOO/view/v1</a>

I hope you've got tech4some.com registered, so you can add facebook in April 2012.

Are the articles meant to be sorted by their respective companies (like the financial info)? Because I see some stories that are meant for one but under the column of another. Maybe I am misunderstanding how this is organized?<p>Any any event, I like the idea a good deal. It would be neat to see this expanded and perhaps customizable so that users could pick which companies to place in their "3some".

For explicit linking articles to stock data you might want to use something like this <a href="http://explainum.blogspot.com/p/sample-widgets.html" rel="nofollow">http://explainum.blogspot.com/p/sample-widgets.html</a><p>Disclaimer: I'm founder of Explainum. The service is still in development phase but we're looking for early users.

How much of that AAPL stock is owned by MSFT?

Nothing technical of value here; Just being frank.<p>At the very least, include P/E, EPS and Beta.

Cool project. Identifying common news and showing them as one that spans across will look awesome

Interesting, 5 year change: AAPL +400% AMZN +400% GOOG +40% MSFT +4%

Very cool. Would love to be able to compare other companies too (even a simple textbox that lets me change one of the columns by entering a different ticker symbol would work).

Neat. Do the columns/wording ("92b more than Microsoft") change dynamically if the order changes (not that it's happening anytime soon)?

do hackers really care about stock prices of major corporations ? The fact this is on the front page lends to the discussion of the decline of HN. Anyways.. good stock and news aggregator.
