101.71 ( 12.97 )

However, $101.71 is up only $4.91 since last close.

There seems to be something wonky with the calculation.

Oh and I just checked again, and now it says 101.74 ( 13 ). ie. The reported change is off by over $8.

Front page ticker: 110.26 ( 21.52 ), which would suggest an increase of 24.3% from 88.74.

That is of course incorrect. The stock was up 13.9% for the day from 96.80.

$88.74 was the close on Thursday, so the ticker is missing Friday for some reason.

You guys know that the main MacNN page has its own feedback (and correction) links, right? And that we in the forums have limited input on the front page...

The numbers do look pretty odd as presented here, but as of 20:52 CDT, it reads
AAPL Stock 110.26 ( 13.46 )

Didn't know that.

But yeah, it seems to have been corrected.
