∞ Apple's 2014 Q1 Results

The Company sold 51 million iPhones, an all-time quarterly record, compared to 47.8 million in the year-ago quarter. Apple also sold 26 million iPads during the quarter, also an all-time quarterly record, compared to 22.9 million in the year-ago quarter. The Company sold 4.8 million Macs, compared to 4.1 million in the year-ago quarter.

That is:

  • iPhones: 6.7% yoy
  • iPads: 13.5% yoy
  • Macs: 17.1% yoy

The growth kind of matches my feelings on these three products: the iPhone no longer stands out so much in the market (like, Moto X is a better phone IMO), but the iPad & Mac are still leading in their space.

∞ Mike Elgan on Google+

But for real people globally, Google+ is on fire. I’ve made friends — no, really: real friends — in Saudi Arabia, Senegal, Spain and elsewhere in the US! These are the kinds of people I could never meet on Facebook or Twitter. As someone who lives and breathes Google+ every day, it’s frustrating to see people suffer on other social networks.

Hope there will be more stories like that, it is a great product.

  • 500 iOS reviews with ratings = $500 ($1.55/app)

For a $0.99 app:

Shocked: Distinguish Two Accounts by Passwords

You can have an Amazon US account and China account sharing the same login email. They are actually two completely different accounts and share nothing.

You know what happens when you login on a US Kindle?

  • If the two accounts have the same password, you are only able to login with the US account.
  • But if they have two different passwords, then you are able to login with either of them, controlled by which password you enter.
