A friend sent me this link comparing revenue, profit, and cash positions for Microsoft and Apple. I almost fell off my chair when reading this data from Microsoft’s and Apple’s most recent quarterly filing:

Yahoo did not have a good day on the stock market, closing down 6.14 percent.  Yet somewhat surprisingly, it almost looks ready to have a decent tomorrow, following the company's third quarter financial report.

The leadership of Steve Jobs helped Apple become more than an iconic computer maker, by shifting it to a hugely profitable electronics business.

TheStreet.com is looking somewhat worse for wear this morning; following its first-quarter earnings report, the company's stock dropped over 15 percent.

Overjoyed investors have made Google's stock go up by about 20 percent since the company reported its earnings.  comScore, on the other hand, temporarily lost eight or so percent of its value.

There's word around the Webmaster World forum that publishers have been experiencing a sharp decline in AdSense earnings over the past month. There's been little consensus, lots of possible explanations, but nothing you might call conclusive.

I missed Microsoft’s earnings release last week (I was on a flight back from my vacation), so here’s a look back. Microsoft’s revenue for its second quarter were up 30% to $16.37 billion, and profit was up 92% to $6.48 billion.
