How the Obama Hope Poster Reached a Tipping Point and Became a Cultural Phenomenon: An Interview Wit
Shepard Fairey: ?...however, there are a lot of people who are really excited about Obama and it?s unique. It?s something that people are willing to take the risk to do?to go out to put some posters on the streets. We sent posters to Philadelphia and they got put up all over?on abandoned buildings and on street corners. That?s something you don?t normally see - that level of motivation in people to spread an image. There are a lot of graffiti artists who are motivated enough to spread their own work and their own name - I?m one of them?but this is that unique case where all we had to do was make the materials and disseminate them to some sort of hubs around the country and the rest of it pretty much took care of itself.?

Apple earnings, profits, and cash embarrass Microsoft
While Microsoft executives like to talk about Apple as an insignificant company with less than 5% of the worldwide market share of all PCs and servers sold, the Mac maker now has more cash than Microsoft and earns more than half of its profits and over three fourths its revenues.
For the quarter ending in September, Microsoft released revenues of $15.06 billion, net profits of $4.37 billion, and a reserve of cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments that added up to $20.7 billion.
Apple reported $7.9 billion in revenues and $1.14 billion in net profit, but those numbers don?t include most of its iPhone business, which is hidden away in subscription accounting under GAAP rules. For that reason, Apple also released its real earnings: $11.68 billion in revenue and $2.44 billion in net profits. The company also reported a cash position of $24.5 billion.
Microsoft?s quarterly revenues grew by 9%, compared to Apple?s non-GAAP revenue increase of 75.1% year over year.
