8.7% Market Share, Apple have 75% of cell phone profit

     In 2010 the second quarter of that year Apple has 3% of the market share now in 2012 they have 8.7% of the profit share. So which means Apple's profit have gone from 39% to 75%, that is alot of profit for one company. In the mobile market share Samsung's 16% profit come closest to Apples, but also even it's the closest its not too close because there is a 59% difference in between them. This is about the whole mobile phone not just the smartphone. Also this is the world-wide market not just the United State one, so as you can see Apple is really rich. In the market share the total of Samsung and Apple's market share is equal to 91% of the total share and Apple have more than half of that number.
     What I learn from this article is that Apple is really running the whole mobile market share! This means that Apple with its IPhone beat all the other brand of mobile to be with the most market share profit and so that means they are really rich. I think that make sense because everywhere you go you would see alot of people with IPhone. This actually make sense because Apple is a great company I'm an Apple Fan, but still they pretty much owned the whole market share with it's 75% profit.

Nike FuelBand

Nike Fuelband is a wristband that calculate how much you work on one day and the more you work and move the more points you gain. You can also check your fuel points using your mobile phone. It is used and design for athletes that want to know how much did they work out that day and try to top it the next day. The more you do that the better you will get at what your doing.

Syracuse University Basketball

Syracuse University is right now ranking No.1 for the NCAA basketball which is college basketball. I don't know about their players at all but I've seen some of their matches and they are all about sharing the ball. They would keep passing until they see an open man and pass it to them to get a open shot. NCAA is different from NBA without all the selfishness and the dunks. Syracuse work their way up to the top with passing the ball around sharing the ball and getting easy open shots. I really enjoy watching both NCAA and NBA basketball because of the different style they played.

NBA VS NCAA

I personally like NBA and NCAA equally the reason is because NBA is more exciting with all the dunks and stuff. But NCAA is college basketball they don't earn money at all even if they played as hard as they can. In NBA they will earn a lot of money just for being in the NBA , so NCAA you will see more emotions, hard work, hustle, effort put into the game rather than slam dunks. I still like NBA but it's just that there is a lockdown and the reason is because people wants money from it so they can't divide the money properly. So they have to end up locking down NBA. NCAA a lot more people will be more excited to see them working as hard as they can to win the championship.

Obama wants to answer your question

On January 30 Obama will be on Google+ answering your question and also hanging out with you guys. The way it work is using YouTube moderator system to let Obama see the question that you asked. Only the comment or question that is liked the most will be selected for Obama to be answered. This is a way to show that the president care about the people and wanted to hear what the people have to say.

I learned that Obama is a really social person he have facebook, twitter, google +, instagram, tumblr. He wanted to know what the people want to ask about the government or himself, and if it is about the government he would try to change it till the people's liking. I really think this is a great idea so that the people would think that you actually did something that will show that you care about the people.

Kyrie Irving(1st Draft Pick)

Kyrie Irving is NBA 2011 Number 1 draft pick straight out of Duke University one of the best Basketball College in the world. He is in the Cleveland Cavaliers right now and so far his doing pretty good. He has made the Cavaliers a better team since Lebron James leave because the Cavaliers are starting to win games. I'm happy for Cavaliers because last year no offense to any Cavaliers fan but they got owned. Kyrie Irving came to Cleveland Cavaliers to try to make a difference!

Brandon Roy

Brandon Roy is one of the best guard out there he did alot of amazing things in his short 4 years in the NBA. He retire last year because of Injury but only in 4 years he accomplish many historical things. For example in the playoff last year he lead the trailblazers back and win a game against the Dallas Mavericks. Portland Trailblazers were done for about 20 points and he lead them back all those point and also a buzzer beater to tie it up and win the game. Unfortunately they lost the whole round.
