If you look at the raw json data you'll see there are two articles:

	http://libraries.apps.freebase.dev.freebaseapps.com/topic/en/apple_inc

The sorting logic on freebase.com is better and picked the first.  I  
just changed the script to
use the same sorting logic for articles and now it shows the same one.

That said, that other one should probably be removed.  :-)
