Yesterday, Google took the liberty to post its first quarter earnings for the 2010 year, which were very profitable in fact. To cut the math jargon down for Mr. Quickster, Google has generated $6.77 billion in revenue, which is a 23% increase year-over-year. Over $4.5 billion of that revenue came from its various sites, and a jaw-dropping $2.04 billion came from AdSense, Google’s advertising platform. As for Google’s numerous acquisitions, all is well, if not too well: “as of March 31, 2010, cash, cash equivalents, and short-term marketable securities were $26.5 billion.” And to finish things off, Google reported over 38,000 apps in the Android Market, along with over 30 Android handsets worldwide. Oh, the happy days in Google Land!

My guess is that there are drawbacks to Verizon’s Incredible, possibly in the price sector. With rumors of the unsubsidized model being $599.99 while the Nexus One’s retail price is $529.99 off-contract, there will probably be a price difference in on-contract models, in the end only directing users to the Motorola Droid once again. Read on for the rest!
With today’s announcement of the new Macbook Pro line, the 15-inch and 17-inch models now either sport new Core i5 or Core i7 processors, but the Macbook Pro 13-inch, which is in fact the most popular Mac sold by Apple is still sticking to a 2.4Ghz Core 2 Duo.
