Guys, look closely. These are definitely not what they seem. Even as women's glasses they are on the odd side style-wise. I can't imagine what kind of face you'd have if these fit you well. the nose pads are more than 2/3 down on the glasses. Guy or girl, try them out at a store before you order. They aren't for everyone.
i agree with the past posts... i have a big face so i thought it was just me. been trying to give these to my buddies so they don't go to waste. have yet to find someone with a small enough face for them to look good. I think they are for girls
Way lame. It says Electric in big letter across the...whatever the bar on top of the glasses is called (it's tough to tell in the picture, but it's the only thing you notice when you look at them). They must be for girls cause they're so small, but they're ugly.
guys beware, these are female glasses..
i wish whiskey/dogfunk would put up genders for the glasses, these are definitely female specific but the pictures are a bit misleading. girls look great in them, guys, well... they arent made for you. dragon fastbacks(also available on whiskey/dogfunk) are a better choice.
nice shades
they look great but not if you got a big head
slick aviators
got the gold ones, and they are badass. fairly large, but aviators should be (i was kinda worried they would be too small). came with a hard case which is awesome, wish all electrics do. all in all awesome shades
Probably one of the best aviators i got. Love them hehe
platinum for the win :P
just got the gold ones off whiskey and i have no regrets. came with a zip up hard case and wipe. i envy all you foos who got the platinums, but hey, i still fly.

Wal-Mart Announces Job Cuts At Sam's Club
Tuesday January 28th, 2014 - 12:30PM
These are shortcuts to your favorite social networking and bookmark sites. Add this story to your Facebook page, del.icio.us, DiggIt, and many others!
Walmart has announced that it cut 2,300 jobs, or roughly 2% percent of the total workforce at its Sam's Club retail warehouse chain, the largest round of layoffs the company has experienced since 2010.
According to Bill Durling, a Wal-Mart company spokesman, the cuts will include hourly workers and assistant manager positions.
"We're trying to rebalance our resources," Durling said.
Affected employees who are unable to find new positions at Sam's Club or Walmart will be eligible for severance, Durling said.
The Sam's Club layoffs come after a flat U.S. holiday season. Wal-Mart is scheduled to report results from its holiday quarter on February 20.
Wal-Mart is not the only retailer that has had layoffs following the fourth quarter. Other recent layoff announcements from U.S. retailers include Macy's Inc., J.C. Penney Co. Inc. and Target Corp.
Macy's said it plans to cut 2,500 jobs, or 1.4% of its U.S. workforce, but it said it expects to add positions for its growing online business, leaving overall staffing levels unchanged at about 175,000.
J.C. Penney said it is planning to close 33 stores, which would eliminate 2,000 jobs, as part of its efforts to return to profitability. Target is planning to cut 475 jobs at its headquarters and other offices in Minnesota and will not fill 700 open positions worldwide.

Monmouth College graduate Joan Rezner Gundersen and her husband, Robert, have made a $500,000 estate gift to the college that will go toward the history department and the library. Recognized as a pioneer in the women's studies movement, Gundersen has taught at St. Olaf College and California State University-San Marcos and has served as a consultant on women's studies. She said her career outlook was forever changed by participating in ACM's Newberry Seminar: Research in the Humanities in Chicago.

"A Great start to sales "

- Career Opportunities
- Comp & Benefits
- Senior Management
I worked at Insight full-time (More than a year)
Lots of benefits, great teamwork, free outings, prizes. I learnt a lot about sales and technology and about attention to detail for every sale. You start off with a crap book and have to make your way to the top its dog eat dog and sales. Management knows who cares and who doesn;t, you can see who will last and who won't.
Work life balance kind of sucks, a being a newb can be very tedious calling other peoples dropped clients, and not making progress even when you try hard as ever.
Advice to Management
Be nice to your new group help them out they do want to succeed and it is hard when first starting

Good management team, Achievable targets and Australia/NZ had the ability to work that was autonomous to the ROW. No phone bashing and very strategic and intelligent selling.
Lack of progression opportunity. It was quite hard to earn good commission in the SMB team.

Keep the culture as it was in 2010/2011. I had great fun working the the Brookvale office in Sydney during my time in Australia.

Sensitech, a company with which I've been happily associated for 20 years.
Sensitech monitors and tracks perishable products as they move around the world--everything from tomatoes and ice cream to vaccines and biologicals. It's the kind of business that does both good--by protecting the stuff that feeds us and keeps us healthy--and well by protecting customers' brands and profits.
In 2006 Sensitech was acquired by Carrier Corporation, part of United Technologies. Here's how it all looks on the web:
Much to my surprise, she stumbled upon--in the 16th-century archives of the company, no doubt--a sonnet composed by William Shakespeare celebrating Sensitech and the cold chain. She emailed it to me today and I wanted to share it with you fans of the Bard, especially those of you with a true appreciation for the beauty of the cold chain. Herewith, Shakespeare:
Winter is coming (so I've heard) but it is the great, invisible, connected winter that allows you to have a fresh banana tomorrow morning, even if the closest banana plantation is 3,000 miles away.
Shakespeare knew it and said so. What better endorsement than that?
(And to Abbey: Hark, she speaks. I will set down what comes from her, to satisfy my remembrance the more strongly.)

The Tao of Dress Shoes (or, How Did Marketing Get This Complicated?)
That is the sum total of thinking I do about black shoes.
I found the other day that my old black loafers were looking shabby so I ordered a new pair online from Johnston & Murphy. The shoes arrived on schedule, looked great and fit fine. Good on you, Johnston & Murphy. Finding my mind-share for black shoes fully exhausted, I chanced to glance at the cover of the shoe box. Stuck underneath was a black billboard, or bumper sticker, or broadside; I think it was supposed to be sitting on top of the shoes when I opened the box. Anyway, I pried it out and this is what I read:

Exceptionalism in a Tube
In fact, look below at the ad and you'll see our lucky young Americans gazing intently into the face of Abraham Lincoln. He is a part of their "Glorious Past" while they are "Part of a Brighter Future." As you read the ad, you'll also discover that the glorious product in question happens to be Ipana Toothpaste. This work is undoubtedly the brainchild of some bright Madison Avenue executive, shaping wartime patriotism to the needs of capitalism. In fact, we're told, if young Americans massage with just a little extra Ipana each day, their gums will take on a "healthier firmness" (and Ipana a healthier profit, one presumes).
And why is gummy firmness so important? Because these two young Americans, the ad explains, have such an extraordinarily bright and promising future. "Nowhere else in the world could they have so many advantages to help them fulfill a destiny of greatness." Read on:

Coming Soon: Food Foolish
John Mandyck is the Chief Sustainability Officer at United Technologies Business & Industrial Systems. He and I are putting the finishing touches on Food Foolish, due out in July.
Here's a bit of the Introduction:
The global food system is broken.
One-third or more of the food we produce each year is never eaten. More than one billion metric tons of food is lost or wasted, never making it from the farm to our fork. In developing countries it decays in fields before harvest or spoils while being transported. Some is lost in retail markets before consumers can buy it. In developed countries people buy too much and then throw it away. They reject perfectly nutritious food that is cosmetically imperfect. Too often restaurants serve oversized meals, large portions of which are discarded. Although reasons vary, we waste food everywhere, often in ways that seem foolish given our fundamental need for this precious resource.
It's been an eye-opening experience for me tracking food waste's impact on hunger, malnutrition, land, water, food security, national security, finance--and climate change. If you want to follow John on Twitter he's @JohnMandyck. I'm on Twitter too but really very boring: @ericebs.

Trolley-Problem Variations for Entrepreneurs
Wikipedia describes it as a thought experiment in ethics that goes something like this:
There's a runaway trolley barreling down the tracks. Ahead on the tracks there are five people tied up and unable to move. The trolley is headed straight for them. You are standing some distance off in the train yard, next to a lever. If you pull this lever, the trolley will switch to a different set of tracks. However, you notice that there is one person on the side track. You have two options: (1) Do nothing, and the trolley kills the five people on the main track. (2) Pull the lever, diverting the trolley onto the side track where it will kill one person. Which is the correct choice?
There are all kinds of variations to extend the problem, including throwing large people off bridges to stop the train. It makes for an interesting and often surprising discussion, the kind where your spouse isn't sure she wants to ride in the same car with you anymore.
Recently in McSweeney's, Kyle York wrote a brilliant, laugh-out-loud send-up of the trolley problem. I don't know Kyle, but I now consider him my inspiration for the following variations, designed to test your meddle as a modern entrepreneur.
Play on.

20 Observations from Just Wandering Around, 2015
2. Alcohol, war and the Web are three things that make us more of what we really are. That's kind of scary when you think about it.
3. Luck is still regularly confused with talent. Talent is still regularly confused with money. What never changes is this: You know it when you meet it.
4. Passion isn't dead, it just smells funny. (Tip of hat to Zappa.)
5. Once upon a time a CEO had to know about selling, distribution, finance, marketing, (often) manufacturing and, of course, how to make money. Today, a CEO can be wildly successful with (almost) no knowledge of any of those things. What we now call companies used to be called product development.
6. Once upon a time CEOs were taught that shareholder value was the only thing. Thankfully, that's over now. (My favorite recent story is here.)
7. When we all learned in Economics that people knew what made them happy, we couldn't have been any more wrong.
8. The two best pieces of life advice to come out of social media: Don't read the comments. Don't feed the trolls.
9. Email is the new snail mail.
10. When I total up the Web, with its incredible access to knowledge, entertainment, and community on one side and Gamergate, revenge porn, Silk Road, trolls, bullies, scams, sexting, government abuse, misogyny, hate, theft, wasteful start-ups and social media self-destruction, I'm not sure if we are ahead. Truly.

Miss Conduct to the Rescue: A Case for "Big Narrative"
|Chillicothe, Missouri, paved and tidy for the automobile,
was also home of the first sliced bread in 1928
It's relatively easy to measure the speed of technology adoption. We know, for instance, that there were 8,000 automobiles on American roads in 1900 and about 25 million in 1950. Both quantitatively and intuitively, that's rapid growth. Likewise, U.S. smartphone penetration in 2005 was 20.2% and in 2014 was 50.1%, another technological blur.
What's harder to measure is the speed at which technology changes our behavior, or our ideas about how the world should work. Speed, penetration and adoption are a function of numbers and can be charted. Behavior is a function of opinion and emotion, and for that we need narrative.
In 1950 journalist Clyde Brion Davis (1894-1962) wrote a colorful biography, The Age of Indiscretion, about growing up at the turn of the 20th century in Chillicothe, Missouri. Davis's folksy story of the coming of the automobile provides a textured narrative for how one small Midwestern town adapted.

Innovator's Dilemma, 1972 Style
I was reading an article in the November 1972 Harper's Magazine and came upon this advertisement for a Hermes typewriter. It reads like an early recipe for Clayton Christensen's Innovator's Dilemma, a book not due out for another 25 years.
"We've always made big, fancy-featured" typewriters, the ad says. "Then we realized. . .the secretaries hardly ever used the fancy frills we put on the machines. And what they really needed was a typewriter that could do all the basic things well. . .Best of all, the clever Swiss engineering that makes our typewriters just half the size of the usual office clunkers, also makes it about half the price."

What Motivates an Entrepreneur? (Can I Get Some Help?)
One of the common theories explaining why people become spies is summarized in the acronym "MICE," meaning Money, Ideology, Compromise (or Coercion) and Ego. Find any spy, anywhere, and he or she will be motivated by one or more of those impulses.
In my research over the last few years I have studied entrepreneurs in a variety of settings across three centuries, from the invention of new agricultural tools and insurance plans to novel street cars, dining experiences, national holidays and cryptocurrencies. Inspired by MICE, I recently attempted to crystallize the issue of motivation with an acronym that captures the complex impulses which drive entrepreneurs: FECOM.
As an acronym I know it's clunky; I hope it's at least accurate. I'd love to get your thoughts about whether I have covered all the right ground, and (for you English majors and crossword aficionados) offer a challenge for improving on the acronym. (Even I have to admit that FECOM sounds like a chorus of cats singing on the back fence at 2 in the morning. In fact, it means something even less attractive.)
Here's what I mean by FECOM:

Gone With the Hogshead Cask and Demijohn
It only takes a few hours to get drawn into the old century. Queen Victoria died in January 1901, the end of an era. President McKinley was assassinated in Buffalo. The Boer War raged in South Africa. America struggled with what to do in the Philippines after the Spanish-American War, how to deal with Hawaii, and whether to pick up work in Panama on an abandoned French canal. Reporters also closely followed France's shameful Dreyfus Affair. The Outlook detailed the so-called "Japanese problem" and "Chinese problem," wrestling with how America could assimilate tens of thousands of immigrants whose cultures seemed so different. The lynching of blacks in the South and West was becoming more violent and pervasive. Labor and "capital" were at each other's throats from the mills of Pennsylvania to the textile factories of New England to the mines of Colorado. There were features on skyscrapers, the nascent automobile industry, women's education, and the ten greatest books of the 19th century (with the consensus #1 being Darwin's Origin of the Species followed closely by Goethe's Faust).

Hardware Engineers Are Cool Again

Recapping 2014, Resolving 2015
The single best-read post for 2014 was the very first of the "Barnyard of Entrepreneurs" series, Predicting the Future, followed by the fifth (A Lesson in Business History). Upon re-read, Future came off as a little crankier than I had intended, but History was more in the spirit of poking fun at how short our industrial and commercial memories have become. In no event did I even begin to approach the hilarious and creative evil of David Sedaris in his Squirrel Seeks Chipmunk, still one of my favorite books of the new millennium.
The third best-read post of 2014 was the sixth in the Barnyard series, Failure is Success. Failure, which Mankind concluded sometime back in the Stone Age could be a profitable learning experience, has morphed under Big Entrepreneurship to be a badge of honor--provided you eventually attain success. Stories proclaiming the value of failure by repeated failures are less easy to find.
By the way, when I wrote the term "Big Entrepreneurship"—hardly earth-shattering, I know—I Googled it and had not a single hit. So I stuck it in a post here, like planting a flag on a new continent. (History suggests that if you want to claim territory, an army is better than a flag.) It's a concept I have developed much more fully in my working (and still alleged) book on the American entrepreneurial experience, now entering its third (or possibly fourth) year of research and writing. (Though the mills of God grind slowly, the poet wrote, they do grind.) I am hoping in the meantime that Pat Riley does not add it to "Three-Peat" in his stable of dubious trademarks.

One of My Wild Neighbors, "General" Solomon Lowe
|General Solomon Lowe (1782-1861)
Today, looking for a reason not to finish my Christmas shopping, I finally stopped by to check out the General. It turns out, back in 1901, a travel reporter for The New York Times had a similar idea.
I leave the story, 113 years old if a day, to him.
At a place known as Boxford, about ten miles from Andover, Mass. far, far from the madding crowd, there is as curious a burying ground as can be found in all New England. As a matter of fact, Boxford is just a section of country, beautiful country at that, but there is no village or gathering of habitations which could be dignified with the name of town. The quiet farmspeople go their peaceful ways utterly oblivious to the odd humor to be found in their old burying ground.
I might point out that there's a little city-slickerism going on here, and throughout the article. Boxford is still today no booming metropolis, but the town had a "center" in 1645 (the same year Manhattan was just being deeded to the Dutch), a railroad stop in 1854, and by 1901 both an East and West Boxford Village. It also had in 1901 a rather substantial match factory. It's fair to say, however, that if Route 95 hadn't altered the town's quaint ambiance in the late 1950s we might still have only 600 residents, about the number the Times reporter found in 1901.
He continued:

Silicon Valley and the Miracle of Spontaneous Combustion
One of the truly interesting discussions among really smart business people is how to replicate new "Silicon Valleys" in different parts of the country and world. There are certainly vibrant technology communities in places like the Research Triangle in North Carolina, New York City and, for that matter, most of the nation of Israel. But when we say "Silicon Valley," we refer to something special, something I would define as a geographic region that produces extraordinary innovation, commercial success and global impact over multiple generations.
AnnaLee Saxenian, Dean of the School of Information at the University of California Berkeley, was interviewed recently on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of her superb book, Regional Advantage: Culture inSilicon Valley and Route 128. In it, she contrasted Silicon Valley with the Route 128 technology loop (nicknamed "America's Technology Highway" in the 1970s) in Massachusetts.
A grad student at the time, Saxenian learned that "being able to innovate very, very quickly and being able to be the first to market with new products, being able to adapt to crises and to change quickly was a much more sort of enduring advantage" for Silicon Valley, which had a dynamism "rooted in a structure that was very decentralized and very flat and allowed for very rapid change." This all seems like gospel now; after all, how else would a company compete in 2014? But at the time Sexenian was helping us understand (what seemed) a new phenomenon—a region that created extraordinary innovation and, when faced with collapse (as it was when Japanese firms upended the silicon market), was able to engineer a kind of self-healing that allowed it to come roaring back in a whole new and formidable shape. (Read and hear the audio here.)
Of course, Route 128 was held up as a model of innovation for a generation or more as well thanks to large, vertically-integrated minicomputer companies like Data General, Digital and Prime Computer. But in the East, management was top-down, business was close-mouthed, and companies siloed—a GM and defense-inspired model so effective in 1950--such that the flat, fluid ecosystem by which SV is now defined never had the opportunity to develop.
Consequently, for a generation or more we have watched, analyzed and debated what makes Silicon Valley so great but been stumped and frustrated about how to actually go about planting the next one.
Another Way to Come At It
Another Way to Come At It
In my own research I have taken a slightly different look at the question: I've been wondering not so much how to plant the next one, but if, instead, there might not have been others. If so, what did they look like? How did they compare to last generation's Route 128 or this year's Silicon Valley? And—most importantly--how did they get started? Were there certain commonalities that we could divine in the long historical view that are not so obvious staring at the offices on Sand Hill Drive?
This question, of course, is the invitation to a monumental long-form essay that won't be written here—in the interests of having a life, getting some real work done, and keeping my digital sharecropping to a minimum. But a less-than-monumental overview might still be fun, and below is my shorthand for the next few paragraphs to come:

The Age of Big Entrepreneurship 2: Innovation is a Sausage?
I remember years ago seeing the survey results from a church where members were asked a variety of questions about their faith. One query, "Do you consider yourself a Christian?" elicited a 100 percent affirmative response. This made sense, I thought, since this was a survey of Christians. But to the question "Do you believe Jesus is the Son of God?" only about 45% were definite. Some 20 or 25 percent were sure he was not. And to the question "Do you believe in God?" some 10 or 15 percent said they were not certain or certainly did not.
I am tempted to say this was an Episcopal congregation where, the old joke goes, people are such lousy singers because they are reading ahead in the hymnal to see if they agree. But that would be hitting too close to home.
These results did suggest to me that there are "Christians" and there are "christians" and they all hang out in the same place on Sunday, though whether some eventually get into Heaven and others into heaven remains to be seen. It also indicates that the word "Christian" has come to encompass a greater variety of humankind than perhaps originally intended.
"Dynasty" is another word that is often used with a great deal of latitude. Boston Globe columnist Bob Ryan exploded last month when the term was applied to the San Francisco Giants after having won three World Series in five years. "You want a dynasty?" Ryan wrote. "Try the Romanovs, who ruled Russia from 1613 until the revolution you may have heard something about in 1917—304 years. That's a dynasty."

The Age of Big Entrepreneurship 1: Confusing Personality for Impact
Beckham had recently been crowned UK Entrepreneur of the Year by a British magazine, and columnist Gene Marks took issue.
"I don't think Victoria Beckham is an entrepreneur," he wrote. "That's because entrepreneurship is not just about business savvy. . .Or celebrity. Or wealth. Or even about financial success. She's got all that too. It's about the risk one takes to achieve those objectives."
Marks then invoked the spirits of Sam Walton, who borrowed money to purchase a variety store, and Richard Branson who "started his record business with next to nothing in a church basement." He also conjured up the story of a person who left her job selling wholesale clothing to pitch her own jewelry online, and another who left college and went into "their dad's business selling electronic components to the computer industry." Marks added, "These are the risk takers. These are the dreamers. These are the entrepreneurs."
This might make for a good slogan for a weekend Tony Robbins retreat, but it's hard to find a definition of entrepreneur that's wandered further off the path of economic impact into the world of personality than this. Welcome, my friends, to the 21st-century Age of Big Entrepreneurship, where the world revolves around the personal attributes of the individual. In this case, Marks believed, Beckham might be a successful businesswoman, but she's no entrepreneur—just "ask any successful entrepreneur who took risks and suffered failures and they'll tell you there is a difference."[2]

Mount Auburn Cemetery Redux: More Dead Entrepreneurs
here for the June 2014 post, I See Dead Entrepreneurs.) I don't generally spend this much time hanging around cemeteries, but Mount Auburn is a very special place, and one full of folks worth meeting--nearly 100,000 at last count. The leaves also happened to be turning and--while I sound like a old, doty leaf-peeper writing that--Mount Auburn is a world class arboretum. And sometimes it is fun to indulge my inner National Geographic photographer.
In my last visit I was collecting entrepreneurs, and I was interested this time in adding to that list. But it's worth saying that Mount Auburn itself is also one of the most interesting social innovations of the 19th century: go visit King's Chapel graveyard in Boston and then head out to Mount Auburn. It's hard to be more innovative than changing the way people think about death and remember their loved ones.
Below is King's Chapel on a summer day in 2009.
I won't press the point, but there might be a half dozen people per family grave (dust to dust was taken literally), all confined to a rapidly growing urban environment dependent on clean aquifers and wells.
By way of contrast, see Mount Auburn below. It was made for strolling, for unfurling an oriental rug and laying out a picnic in your large family plot on a Saturday afternoon. The day we were there last weekend the 170 acres were filled with visitors.
A group of us took a tour called "Not So Rich or Famous," an introduction to a number of folks who had interesting, full, sometimes very difficult lives--but who have been mostly lost to history. Thanks to some hardworking folks at Mount Auburn, however, their stories are starting to be told.

When Fortune Accidentally Lands in Your Mailbox
A few weeks ago I tried to purchase a 1954 Saturday Evening Post on eBay. Unfortunately, I was also answering email, booking a trip, and trying to figure out why the cat was tormenting me. Needless to say, last week I received a Fortune magazine from 1952. Brilliant. Wrong magazine, wrong year.
And now that I think of it, I haven't seen the cat for a while, either.
There is a silver lining to my tale of woe, however: this particular edition of Fortune magazine turned out to be absolutely fascinating.
I wasn't alive in April 1952, but it wasn't exactly the Dark Ages, either. We now know the American Baby Boom was in full swing, life expectancy in the US was almost 69 years, Bill Clinton and George Bush were both well out of diapers, I Love Lucy (in one memorable evening) attracted 10 million viewers, and a killer fog descended on London resulting in the first use of the term "smog." That all feels pretty modern.
Though--and I write this with some surprise--there's nothing quite like a big, fat, colorful magazine from 1952 to remind us just how far we've really come. David Lowenthal said famously that the past is a foreign country; with that in mind, let me take you for a quick tour of America in 1952.

Entrepreneurs, Predators, Robber Barons and Martians
here). I admire Gladwell but also have come to distrust him just a little, since his MO is to take academic papers and dumb-them-down for a general audience. Sometimes he puts an odd twist on a topic--I assume--to create greater appeal for the masses. It can be a twist that doesn't always seem to square with a more careful reading of the original research.
This bit of discomfit led me back to the source for his article, Michel Villette and Catherine Vuillermot's book From Predators to Icons: Exposing the Myth of the Business Hero. Villette is a sociologist at AgroParisTech and Vuillermot a business historian at L'Universite de France Comte. Written in 2005, the book was translated into English in 2009, presumably when Gladwell bumped into it and wrote his review. The authors conclude that the captains of industry--and they study 32 of the richest men in the world--made their fortune neither by taking risk nor innovating, but by taking advantage of (often low-risk) market weaknesses and vulnerabilities. (In fact, the original French title was Portrait of the Businessman as Predator.) The authors conclude that a successful businessman does whatever it takes competitively to dominate a market and then "once his fortune is made and he invests some of his profits in foundations that reflect the social values of his time, he is forgiven for everything, even if his early career was punctuated by numerous predatory acts." Think Carnegie and libraries, Stanford and education, Gates and vaccines.

Apple has received a boost in the marketplace with better-than-expected earnings. These figures were aided by strong sales of iPhones, boosting the sagging share price of the maker of the iPhone and iPad.

Keywords: Apple, iPhone, iPad, iWatch, sales, Samsung
LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - The profit of $6.9 billion was down 22 percent from last year, translating to $7.47 per shares, ahead of Wall Street projections.
The Silicon Valley tech giant reported revenues of $35.3 billion in the quarter ending in June, helped by sales of 31.2 million iPhones, a record for the June quarter.
The resilient tablet, iPad sales were somewhat disappointing - however, at 14.6 million compared with 17 million in the same period a year ago.
Apple shares jumped nearly five percent in after-hours trade to $439.70 billion, helping a stock which has tumbled from last year's high above $700.
"We are especially proud of our record June quarter iPhone sales of over 31 million and the strong growth in revenue from iTunes, software and services," Apple chief Tim Cook says.
"We are really excited about the upcoming releases of iOS 7 and OS X Mavericks, and we are laser-focused and working hard on some amazing new products that we will introduce in the fall and across 2014."
Apple is expected to unveil Smartphones and tablets in the coming months with bigger screens. Analysts say that this is an attempt to catch up with a trend set by its major rival Samsung.
Rumors of new Apple unveilings include an "iWatch" wrist computer, an improved Apple TV and lower-priced version of iPhone for developing markets such as China.
According to Apple chief financial officer Peter Oppenheimer, Apple generated $7.8 billion in cash flow from operations in the recent quarter and paid stockholders $18.8 billion through dividends and repurchasing shares.
Still held in high esteem for its trend-setting devices, Apples has been losing market share in Smartphone's and tablets, mainly to companies using the Google Android operating system.

Singer Justin Bieber is auctioning the snake he brought as his date to the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards to raise money for charity.
The teen star posed with a baby boa constrictor on the red carpet at the Los Angeles prize-giving in August (2011), telling reporters the pet's name was Johnson.
Now he's donated the reptile to a celebrity auction and will hand over the proceeds to Pencils of Promise, an organization which funds schools in the poorest parts of the world.
A message on the CharityBuzz website warns fans, "Keeping a pet snake is a long term responsibility. Before making any decision about keeping one, please ensure you have the money, space, knowledge, time, resources and enthusiasm required to properly care for the species you intend to keep, for the duration of its life."
The winner must also guarantee necessary veterinary care will be provided.
Johnson is expected to fetch $1,000.
