In the following video, Motley Fool senior technology analyst Eric Bleeker makes an interesting comparison. What hot skyrocketing tech stock just received several analyst upgrades and calls for a price target of $1,000 per share? No, it's not Apple (AAPL +0.00%) anymore; now, it's Google (GOOG +2.44%). Eric tells investors the big differences between Apple's once incredible surge, and the skyrocketing Google today, and tells us whether we have the same big backslide to fear from Google that recently broke so many Apple lovers' hearts.
