These results compare to revenue of $15.70 billion and net quarterly profit of $3.25 billion, or $3.51 per diluted share, in the year-ago quarter. ?We?re thrilled to deliver our best quarter ever, with revenue up 82 percent and profits up 125 percent,? said Steve Jobs, Apple?s CEO. ?Right now, we?re very focused and excited about bringing iOS 5 and iCloud to our users this fall.?
Daily iPad App: Netter's Anatomy Atlas
Any medical student or professional will instantly recognize the name "Netter." Frank H. Netter was a physician and artist who drew over 500 plates, or individual medical illustrations, covering virtually every aspect of human anatomy. Netter's Atlas of Human Anatomy, the book, is a classic in the field of medical reference. It outshines Grey's Anatomy, not only in its depth and accuracy, but also because of the detail of the images (not to mention, they're in color). If you're a medical student, Netter's is a must. However, the biggest problem with Netter's Atlas of Human Anatomy, as with most medical reference books, is medical students might break their backs carrying the book around. It's a tome that weights close to ten pounds. The extra weight has now been alleviated however, thanks to Elsevier Health Sciences finally bringing Netter's Anatomy to the iPad.
Netter's Anatomy Atlas for iPad offers users all the benefits of the book and more. Because it's an app and not an ebook, Netter's Anatomy Atlas offers interactivity that could never be obtained in paper format. You still get all 531 Netter plates, but the app also gives you the ability to bookmark individual plates, add notes to the plates, customize and toggle labels, and offers a search functionality that allows you to quickly find a plate by plate number or keyword. The app also features some cool extras, like an additional 40 Netter plates once you register the app.
Though I'm glad Netter's is finally available on the iPad (my copy of the 4th edition is literally falling to pieces), there is one major drawback to Netter's Anatomy Atlas for iPad. In a baffling move, the app only works in landscape view. You can't look at the images in portrait orientation even though that's how they were drawn. This means you're scrolling a lot through some of the taller images. I imagine this landscape-only limitation will be addressed in a future update (at least, I hope it will be).
Besides that landscape orientation problem, the rest of the app is solid and I highly recommend it for anyone in the medical field. Like the book, the iPad app isn't cheap. Netter's Anatomy Atlas for iPad costs US$89.99. But there is also a free sample version, Netter's Anatomy Atlas Free, for those of you who want to try out the app first. If you do buy the full app, be warned: because of all the highly detailed plates it takes up a whopping 1.35 GB of space on your iPad.

Samsung may face further delay for Galaxy Tab in Australia
Australian Federal Court Judge Annabelle Bennett may grant a "brief" injunction on sales of the Samsung Galaxy 10.1 tablet in Australia in order to give her more time to study Apple's claims of patent infringement, Bloomberg is reporting. The two parties are currently arguing in a two-day hearing over whether the Galaxy Tab should be banned in Australia until the dispute is fully resolved. Samsung has voluntarily delayed the Tab's introduction to try and avoid a legal ban....

10.7: Close Connect to Server window with Escape key
In previous versions of Finder that featured the 'Connect to Server...' choice in the 'Go' menu (Command+K), closing the window opened by selecting that command required either clicking its close box or pressing Command+W.
In Lion you can close the 'Connect to Server' window by pressing the Escape key.
[crarko adds: A small thing, but it is new. Apple now treats this window (properly I think) as a dialog box, so the use of Escape is consistent.]

Apple can't get "multi-touch" trademark
Apple has been denied a trademark for the term "multi-touch," reports MacRumors. Apple originally applied for the trademark on January 9, 2007, just one day before the first iPhone was introduced.
The United States Patent and Trademark Office denied the initial trademark application, but per USPTO rules, Apple was able to appeal the original ruling. However, the USPTO's Trademark Trial and Appeal Board has now upheld the initial ruling.
The USPTO's trademark attorney pointed out that "multitouch" has become such a generic term used in myriad devices besides Apple's iPhone and iPads. As noted by MacRumors, there are several factors that determine if a name, or "mark," has the "acquired distinctiveness" which would allow a company to receive a trademark on it. Those include a mark's length and exclusivity of use and the company's advertising expenditures promoting that mark.
The lack of a trademark for "multi-touch" will in no way affect how Apple can advertise their devices; it simply means that Apple can't claim trademark infringement if others advertise "multi-touch" technology in their devices.

10.7: Slow down the entering of Mission Control
Pressing Ctrl+Shift+Up-arrow will animate the entering of Mission Control in a slow, smooth fashion.
In Lion, the keyboard shortcut to enter Mission Control is Ctrl+Up-arrow. This will quickly show you all your windows and spaces. If you add Shift to the keyboard combo, the animation goes much slower, almost like a presentation transition. Not sure why this would be useful other than to slow down productivity.
[crarko adds: This hint presumes you haven't remapped the default keyboard shortcut for Mission Control in System Preferences. Use of the Shift key to put these kinds of animations into slow-motion has been around for quite a while. Not surprisingly, it applies to Mission Control as well.]
