For the December quarter, Apple sold 37 million iPhones, Louis Vuitton handbags 15.4 million iPads and 5.2 million Macs.
"We're thrilled with our outstanding results and record-breaking sales of iPhones, iPads and Macs," said CEO Tim Cook. "Apple's momentum is incredibly strong, and we have some amazing new products in the pipeline."
On Jan. 25, just one day after Apple released its quarterly earnings, the company briefly jumped ahead of Exxon as the most valuable company in the U.S., seeing its stock jump as high as 8 percent while Exxon's shares fell by as much as 2 percent. At the end of the day, however, Exxon managed to reclaim its top spot, closing at $87.22 to achieve a market cap of $418 billion, while Apple closed 6 percent higher on the day but only claimed $446.66 to achieve a market cap of about $415 billion.
But now Apple won't soon be letting go of its top spot; the company is on a roll recently. After unveiling its plans to kill the textbook back in January, Apple unveiled its next-gen iPad at an event in San Francisco gucci bags last Wednesday, which revealed a similar-looking tablet with a beautiful new Retina Display that boasts 1 million more pixels than an HDTV. "The new iPad," which is also the first Apple device to run on the high-speed 4G LTE network, starts at $499 and will begin retailing on Friday. Expect AAPL stock to increase even more.
But Apple isn't stopping at the iPad. The company also announced a new Apple TV, also going on sale Friday, which promises a beautiful new user interface and videos in full 1080p HD.
Excitement also continues to mount for the company's next iPhone, which might not even come out until September or October. Little is truly known about the next-gen smartphone, but given that the new iPad runs on LTE, the next phone will surely include the 4G network bands. The next iPhone, presumably called "iPhone 5," is also expected to feature a bigger 4-inch screen and include new patents like crack-proof glass and the "iWallet," which is a digital system that leverages Near-Field Communication (NFC) technology to complete credit card transactions and bestow users complete control over their subsidiary financial accounts directly over their iPhone.AAPL has been a stock demon in 2012, scaring all other stocks away as it continues its ascent to the very top of the market. On Jan. 24, Apple announced its record-breaking quarter for Q1 2012, claiming $46.33 billion overall, $13.1 billion in profit and $17.5 billion in cash for the quarter that ended Dec. 31, 2011. The final 14 weeks of 2011 proved to be the most successful in Apple's 35-year history, thanks to the release of the iPhone 4S and its voice-activated AI tool Siri, and the outpouring of louis vuitton mens clothing sympathy following the death of the company's co-founder and chairman, Steve Jobs.

Indoor Tanning Salons Lie
Indoor Tanning Salons Lie About Health Risks: Investigation
Most indoor tanning salons do not tell Gucci outlet, gucci bags, cheap gucci shoes 2012 sale customers the truth about potential health risks, says a U.S. House Energy and Commerce Committee investigative report.
Posing as fair-skinned 16-year-old girls, investigators contacted 300 indoor tanning salons across the nation. Ninety percent of the salons told the callers that indoor tanning did not pose health risks, ABC News reported.
More than half of the salons denied that indoor tanning increased the risk of skin cancer and more than three-quarters said indoor tanning actually benefits the health of teen girls.This ability to decode electrical activity in an area of the auditory system called the superior temporal gyrus may one day enable neuroscientists to hear the imagined speech of stroke or other patients who can't speak, or to eavesdrop on the constant, internal monologues that run through people's minds, the researchers explained in a journal news release.
"This is huge for patients who have damage to their speech mechanisms because of a stroke or Lou Gehrig's disease [amyotrophic lateral sclerosis] and can't speak," Robert Knight, a professor of psychology and neuroscience, www.discount-sell.com said in the news release. "If you could eventually reconstruct imagined conversations from brain activity, thousands of people could benefit."
However, the study's first author, post-doctoral researcher Brian Pasley, noted that "this research is based on sounds a person actually hears, but to use this for a prosthetic device, these principles would have to apply to someone who is imagining speech."
He explained that "there is some evidence that perception and imagery may be pretty similar in the brain. If you can understand the relationship well enough between the brain recordings and sound, you could either synthesize the actual sound a person is thinking, or just write out the words with a type of interface device."
For the study, Pasley's team tested two different computational models that were designed to match spoken sounds to the pattern of activity in the electrodes when a patient heard a single word. The better of the two models reproduced a sound that was close enough to the original word so that the researchers could correctly guess the word.
The aim of the research was to reveal how the human brain encodes speech, and to then pinpoint the aspects of speech that are necessary for understanding.
"At some point, the brain has to extract away all that auditory information and just map it onto a word, since we can understand speech and words regardless of how they sound," Pasley said.Welcome to gucci outlet shop, all gucci bags and gucci shoes 2012 new arrivals are on cheap sale.

The findings don't point to any new treatment for Alzheimer's disease,
gucci bags which is incurable, and the detected decline in brain function is so small that affected people probably wouldn't notice anything in their daily lives.
Still, "I think they certainly are at higher risk of Alzheimer's," said study co-author Denise Park, A cognitive neuroscientist at the Center for Vital Longevity at the University of Texas at Dallas. She added that the test that turned up signs of the brain plaque could eventually help doctors figure out if someone's at risk for the disease long before they reach old age.
"Just because we don't have a treatment for Alzheimer's doesn't mean we'll never have one. What if we can develop this field enough that we can say things about your brain in your 40s and tell people, 'Here's a pill that you can take to slow [cognitive deterioration] down so it will never go to Alzheimer's?'" she said.
The plaque at issue is known as beta amyloid. It's a kind of protein that collects in the brains of people with Alzheimer's disease along with stringy "tangles" that appear in neurons. Research suggests that the plaques and neurons kill off brain cells, leading to declines in mental function.
The researchers wanted to study beta amyloid levels in people without Alzheimer's disease. They did PET scans on 137 people aged 30 to 89, and gave them several cognitive tests that measured things like memory and how fast their brains worked.
Those with higher levels of the brain gunk performed worse on cognitive tests measuring brain-processing speed, working memory and reasoning.
However, the differences in brain function may not mean much Gucci outlet, gucci bags, cheap gucci shoes 2012 sale. to the individuals. "In everyday life, I don't think you'd notice it," Park said
The study appears in the Feb. 1 online issue of Neurology.
What does the study suggest about the brain plaque? "One idea is that it's a first step in a cascade of events that ultimately leads to Alzheimer's disease," Park said. "Another possibility is that although the amyloid is there, maybe it won't increase or harm the individual for 20 or more years, that it doesn't progress as rapidly as many people think it does."
Dr. Brad Dickerson, an associate professor of neurology at Harvard Medical School, said the study is important because it adds to previous research that links higher levels of beta amyloid to cognitive problems.
A Foreign Ministry official in charge of China affairs said later Wednesday that Beijing justified its activity, repeating its claim that China has sovereignty over the area.
Days earlier, Beijing accused Tokyo of naming a group of uninhabited southern islands in nearby waters that both countries claim.
Four of the islands are in the disputed Senkaku, or Diaoyu, chain in the East China Sea. The islands, also claimed by China and Taiwan, have been a flashpoint in diplomatic relations.
Beijing said Tokyo's naming attempt is "illegal and invalid," the ministry official said on condition of anonymity because of sensitivity of the issue. Tokyo responded by saying the islands are an integral part of Japan.
Japan's Cabinet Office has said it will use the names for new maps, Welcome to gucci outlet shop, all gucci bags and gucci shoes 2012 new arrivals are on cheap sale.

The islands are surrounded by rich fishing grounds and are regularly occupied by nationalists from both sides.
