Apple announced its Q2 2012 earnings after the market closed on tuesday and while investors have been nervously chatting about Cupertino’s falling stock price, Apple had another record breaking quarter. Oh, by record breaking, I mean they essentially have $110 billion in short term assets and cash – $12.4 billion more than they had the previous quarter. Let’s get to the specifics:
Rogue Amoeba, one of the best software houses for the Mac has just released Piezo, which lets you record audio from any app on you mac. Sounds simple right – that’s the point. Recording audio has always been somewhat of a tricky task, especially on a computer because you have so many apps and tasks running. Often times, while recording, you can contaminate a clean audio recording simply by opening up an app that plays a sound or if someone decides to Skype you. Recording on a computer was never easy and now it is….and it’ll only cost you $10.

“Microsoft Kinect for Xbox 360 has become the World’s fastest selling consumer electronic device in the history of electronic market.” Stated windowslifestyle.com and rightly so, as the Guinness World Records had anointed the Microsoft peripheral with the lofty title. Who got crushed while Microsoft sold an avg. of 133,333 units per day, for a total of 8 million units (starting Nov. 4th 2010) – well, how about the iPhone and the iPad! Microsoft is on a complete tear, selling over 10 million kenect units, as of this article and while people complain about the fact that it isn’t a stand alone device (peripheral for the XBOX 360) the record rightfully stands…….but for how long? Apple’s iPad 2, released this last Friday, is selling faster than free gold, so Redmond…..enjoy it while it lasts.
