A great parody from Mad TV, mashing up geekery and politics.

Last night Apple released his Q1 2007 financial results. The numbers are huge (7 billion USD in revenue, 1 billion of net profit), and are a company record.
Please bare in mind the fiscal year is different from the regular year: Q1 2007 is the time period between the 1st of October and the 31th of December 2006, so it includes Christmas 2006. In this quarter, Apple sold more than 21 million iPods, and more than 1.6 million Macs.
Since I'm now an Apple shareholder, I have a particular interest in the company evolution, so I decided to get some data and build some graphics. The idea is to identify trends in growth, which could help me in my stock strategy. Bottom line, Apple is a very good bet in the long term, very volatile in the short term (or day trading) due to the hype surrounding it.
Here are the 10 graphics I have to share:

Since an image is better than a thousand words, here are a couple of videos showing why is not fair to compare the Apple iPhone to LG KE850. Apple iPhone is really a major breakthrough in the mobile market, no matter what.

The following video represents what Greenpeace would like to be the next Steve Jobs keynote. It's a natural step after the great website Greenpeace has made named a greener Apple:

Dear Santa, I know is a bit early, but this christmas all I want is an Apple iPhone.Posted by bordalix Tue, 09 Jan 2007 10:13:00 GMT
As everyone, I'm can't wait for today's Steve Jobs keynote at the MacWorld San Francisco. What are the new gadgets he's going to announce? Which software suites will have new versions (or new applications)? Will he announce the delivery date for Leopard (the next version of MacOSX)?
Meanwhile, I decided to make a (funny?) exercise:
The keynote will start at 5 pm GMT, so soon we will be able to know if this is (or not) a viable method for predict Apple announcements

A pair of security researchers has picked January 2007 as the starting point for a month-long project in which each passing day will feature a previously undocumented security hole in Apple's OS X operating system or in Apple applications that run on top of it.
The "Month of Apple Bugs" project, began on Jan. 1, and is being orchestrated in part by a security researcher who asked to be identified only by his online alias "LMH." This is the same researcher who in November ran the "Month of Kernel Bugs" project. LMH's partner in this project is Kevin Finisterre, a researcher who has reported numerous bugs to Apple over the past few years.
The security researchers told the Washington Post that, as with Apple bugs featured during the MoKB project, Apple would receive no advanced notice of the forthcoming security problems. The security researchers hope to use the project to dispel the perception that Apple systems are free of the security bugs that have long plagued Windows users.
In two days, as promised, two bugs have been publicized, all of which allows for remote arbitrary code execution:
Is this the end of the "bulletproof" Mac?

A great site by Greenpeace, aiming the reducing of usage of hazardous substances in Apple equipment. They mimicked the Apple website, changed the colors to green, and added a strong environmental concern. The website also includes the Greenpeace version of an Apple ad. Brilliant.
