Apple takes a big fall

Among all the tech stocks Apple is taking the biggest beating today. Halfway into the trading day Apple is down over 17 percent. It just shows how the mighty can fall based on making some conservative projections for growth and an extremely skittish market. Even in the post-Macworld aura, the reality distortion field of Steve Jobs can't hold up the stock.

Apple is not alone. Google has been on a similar trajectory in the last month.
