In the first 24 hours of availability, iPhone 5 pre-orders topped 2 million, Apple has announced. More than 5 million iPhone 5 phones were sold in the first three days, setting a new sales record for the device.

In addition, the latest IPhone's display colors are bright and rich (it has 44 percent more color saturation than the 4S), text is expectedly crisp, and high-resolution images look stunning.
Apple Inc. (AAPL) says advance sales of its iPhone 5 topped 2 million units in one day, more than double the record set by the previous model of the device. Two color combinations of the new model are White and Silver, and Black and Slate. However, the White and Silver iPhone 5 looks more elegant.

Yahoo, which is based in Sunnyvale, California, reported on Tuesday (April 16, 2013) that the company’s first-quarter profit grew 36% to $390 million, or 35 cents a share, up from $286.3 million, or 23 cents a share, a year earlier. Excluding restructuring charges and other items, adjusted earnings of the internet giant rose to 38 cents from 27 cents. After subtracting partner commissions, Yahoo’s search advertising revenue also increased by 6 percent to $409 million, compared to $384 million from the same quarter of 2012. In the United States, total display advertising increased 18.1 percent to $17.7 billion as well. Meanwhile, the firm’s revenue was $1.14 billion, down 7 percent from the year-ago quarter. Revenue excluding traffic acquisition costs was $1.07 billion, down 0.3%. In the first quarter, revenue from Yahoo's core display-ad business fell 11%, to $455 million, compared with a year ago. To revitalize Yahoo's business, Marissa Mayer, a former Google Inc. (GOOG) executive, has vowed to improve Yahoo's mobile services for smartphones and tablets. In recent months, she has made several small acquisitions of mobile software startups as well as put the company’s engineers to work making Yahoo’s Web products more applicable to mobile users. Those efforts seem to have paid off as Yahoo now has more than 300 million monthly mobile users, up from 200 million three months ago.
Yahoo posted income of $390.3 million, or 35 cents a share on Tuesday (April 16, 2013).
Yahoo’s revenue was $1.14 billion, down 7 percent from the year-ago quarter while revenue excluding traffic acquisition costs was flat at $1.07 billion. That news sent the company’s stock down about 4 percent in after-hours trading, after closing at $23.79 on Tuesday (April, 2013).
In recent months, Marissa Mayer, CEO of the internet giant, has revamped Yahoo’s Internet home page and overseen a redesign of other popular features, including the Flickr photo-sharing service and Yahoo Mail.
Yahoo was once the biggest seller of display ads but the company lost that position to Facebook and Google in 2011.
Marissa Mayer, a former Google executive, took over as CEO of Yahoo in July last year.
