The Decline Of Android Foretells The Rise Of A Total Apple Monopoly (crunchgear?)
We have always built and destroyed monopolies. Companies often start out good but slowly turn, for lack of a better word, evil. The twin dark stars of profit and market share bring even the kindest companies into a collision course with failure. I'd say Apple is headed down that road. The company announced its 2012 Q2 earnings earlier this week and as MG pointed out, they're nearly as impressive as the previous blockbuster quarter. A dive at wireless carrier's financials shows that the iPhone accounted for a whopping 59% of smartphone sales in the U.S. last quarter. The iPhone 4S downright crushed a league of new Android flagship handsets. Android is faltering at the hands of the iPhone. Apple is on pace per some analysts to be the first trillion dollar company in history and will do so on the back of a trivial amount of products and services.

Straight Outta Lynwood $13.43 All hail the return of novelty music’s reigning king! Straight Outta Lynwood easily bests 2003′s Poodle Hat and shows that Yankovic does know what he does best. Part of the secret to Weird Al’s success is that he’s never been very weird at all, and very rarely are his satires in any way “biting”–or even satires, really. The 11-minute parody of R. Kelly’s “Trapped in the Closet” is funny at least… |

The Muppets (Three-Disc Blu-ray/DVD/Digital Copy + Soundtrack Download Card) $25.00 Movies attempting to retrieve cherished nuggets of pop culture often stumble, either by appealing solely to the die-hard minutia enthusiasts or clunking up the batter with unnecessary additions to the base material.
