If you happen to see Steve Jobs running around today with that giant foam finger, well, don’t say we didn’t warn you. Fortune has released its annual list of the most admired companies, and guess who ranked in at number one? I’ll give you a hint: it ain’t Dell.

Apple’s jump to the one spot is a move up from last year, when the company was ranked at number seven.

^^ Oh yeah? And hows that? Apple was the first company with a viable digital downloads alternative. Of course when they started iTunes store, they had to put in DRM cause the music labels wouldn't have agreed to an open system. But only because iTunes has proved itself, have DRM free ones like Amazon.com and such come along.
