In its last quarterly report, Apple predicted a $37 billion quarter with diluted earnings per share (EPS) of about $9.30. The final results show that Apple shot low … very low. Apple posted record quarterly revenue of $46.33 billion for the first quarter of its 2012 fiscal year. Beyond the gross, the net quarterly profit was $13.06 billion, or $13.87 per diluted share.

It’s been another blockbuster year for the seminal iPhone. Even after enduring a longer than normal product cycle, demand for the device is still at an all time high.

The hack works with the iPhone 3GS, the iPhone 4, and Apple's latest iPhone, the iPhone 4S. The biggest advantage to this trick is that you do not need to jailbreak your device or make any alterations to its hardware or software. Instructions...
The engineering brilliance behind the Droid Razr cannot be understated. Packed in just .28-inches of stainless steel and soft-touch Kevlar, the Razr manages to include some truly impressive specs into an amazingly thin frame. Like Motorola’s clamshell offering from yesteryear, the Droid Razr is an incredible feat of hardware design that should be the blueprints for future devices. But...
