Google is traded on the NASDAQ, symbol GOOG (four letter ticker symbol == not NYSE).

...and also, market cap == market cap. If a company traded on the NASDAQ is worth more dollars than a company traded on the NYSE, well, that's more dollars. More is more. Actual price of the stock is sorta secondary here, people aren't saying that the price of a single share of GOOG is now more than a single share of Time/Warner, though that is also true: TWX is going for ~$17, while GOOG did their IPO at $85 and are now flirting with $300!
