A new live graphic tracking the revenues and profits of the world’s largest corporations by the second has been published by WordPlay Zinc. Keeping consistent with the one presented back in November, the live graphic covers all majors players, including Apple and Samsung. Not surprisingly Apple makes the most green/second ( around $5,622 – up from $4,540 back in November ) being second behind Samsung, which makes around $7,072/second in revenue.
