“Memphis is in the United States. You’ve got this idol over here it’s huge. They’ve turned this guy into an idol. They worship and serve him more than they do the living God,” said Westboro member Shirley Phelps-Roper.

Hm.

$4.99 gets you an hour of screencasts as .mp4 files or wrapped up as an iPad-ready iBook. They’re all well done, and Bradley is a great teacher.

If you’ve been Evernote-curious or want to get more out of the app, be sure to check it out.

The soft, froggy voice startled me. I turned around to face an approaching figure. It was Larry Page, naked, save for a pair of eyeglasses.

If you read one thing today, make it this article.

Yesterday, during the Google I/O keynote, Google announced that it had hit 48B downloads of apps on the Google Play Store. During the same keynote, the counter on Apple’s site ticked over to 50B App Store downloads.

But there has been some question about how exactly the two companies tabulate their numbers.

Turns out, that Apple and Google count them in a very similar fashion. Here’s Panzarino again:

Both Apple and Google tabulate unique downloads of apps per user account. This means that they count only one download of an app no matter how many devices that you install that app on after you purchase it. Neither company counts updates in its app download numbers. These are purely single downloads from their stores.

If the two numbers are really on even footing, that’s great news for Android.
