Apple reports there earnings for the quarter!

PaulOctober 21, 20082 Replies

After all that happened today, Apple decides to talk about there earnings for today. Some things to consider are:

Apple ships more than 2.6 million Macs and 6.9 Billion Iphones. Now let’s do the numbers on this 6.9 billion Iphones at an average over 500$ a piece would mean quite a earnings for Apple. This according to Applewatch and I’ve got to think is this showing the real economy or is this all hype from Steve Jobs?

According to M&G Business they are up 24 per cent this fiscal year. Which means that they have gain ahead from the recent problems in the stock market. Are they going to be able keep that going?

Last but final least saying of the day Gizmodo is stating : Steve is on the call, says that iPhone is now 39 percent of their business, Apple is now world’s “third largest mobile phone supplier.”

Now what about the Google Phone is that going to out sale the Iphone? I would like to know the current status of how man Google phones they have estimation sold on pre-orders? Are they going to be able to out do the Iphone or is it going to be even more of a problem when they release the final numbers on the G-phone!!

Has the Mac ads been helping fueling the Iphone sales or have they been Hindering? People are assuming they are helping the notebook sales and possibly helping the iphone sales? What do you think?

Silverlight 2.0.31005.0 Is release today.

PaulOctober 21, 2008

I woke up this morning and found there was an update. I thought to myself this isn’t the second Tuesday, that was last week. So I click on my update tab to see what it was all about? Wouldn’t you know it, an update to Silverlight 2.

I will be looking into the new Microsoft Silverlight. I have heard on the wind, that this might be due to the PDC coming Oct 27-30. This has something to do with Windows 7, I’m almost sure of it. I am sure as you can see this is most interesting. I’m also sure this has to do with some security fix but why push it out now when there is no need too. This update effects Windows Xp/Vista/and 2000 so we will see what they have in mind the coming weeks.

Is Google part of your you blog Body?

Having Google be part of your blog is essential to keeping people coming to your site. Google is kind, intelligent enough, forgiving, and nice to have on your site. Having Google juice helps you give your blog a chance to thrive. Making enemies is fine if you must, but don’t make enemies with Google. You need to understand that Google is right now the Alpha Dog. It can make or break your site. If you get removed from Google, guess what you will probably be removed from other search sites almost certainly because of Google.

Time is the essence of creating a good blog!

It takes time to get people to come to your blog and stay at your blog. It isn’t something that will come almost instantly. It has taken me a year now to start getting people a high volume of people coming to my site. Some people think blogging should bring people to there site almost instantly. I would say that is almost impossible unless you do some things that I will not go into but it will never keep people to come to your blog, it’s how you talk to your web users. I’ll talk more about that later. I hope this helps you figure out how to start yoru blog and understand the challenges of having a blog. If you want to comment about what I’ve said please go right ahead!!

How do I get people to come to my blog?

This comes with some problems and some answers. Finding something that your passionate about is one way to get other people who are passionate about the same thing to come find your blog. The only problem is that you create a single group of people who are at your blog for a single reason. Having been doing the Hulu clues, I’ve seen that and understand that will happen. I am trying to get people to stay at my site is the hardest part of having what I call a point of entry campaign. I know most of them will see my site and go do something else. I almost expect that but I know I will keep a few people who like what they see and want to keep seeing this type of stuff. I never expect to keep everyone who comes to my blog. I expect I’ll probably keep around 10% or so from just doing the point of entry campaign.

Stats are always going to say something different with each site and owner, it is something that is going to be valuable to a degree. It however doesn’t tell the full story, it only tells a part of the story. People will always have opinions on stats and it will always be different from one person to the other. I will never base my site on just stats alone. I base it on the community.

Will these people stay after Hulu clues are over?

I’ll be truthful, I am not going to say one way or the other. It is like a wave of people and it will always be that way!! People are always going to come and go, it’s something you should never take personally like you’ve done something to get people to leave and others to come to your site. Some bloggers think it is bad to loose people, most of the time it is something that will eventually happen. It happens because people are human and like change. Change is something that will happen and most bloggers know this.

Does it depend on my site server?

Having a reliable server is something that helps get people to come to your site. I remember having a free blogger account and if I get hit with 100 people doing a search for something and them all trying to go to my site almost all at the same time, my site couldn’t handle it. Unlike who I have today. [insert ad] If you have a powerful server who can take the web hits and be reliable, that is how you succeed in having a blog.
