Part 1: Income statement In the financial statements that companies report to the Securities and Exchange Commission and shareholders on a quarterly and annual basis, there are three main sections: the income statement, the balance statement and the cash flow statement. The income statement gives us our best view of management's performance. Operating income Once we remove operating expenses from gross margin dollars , we are left with what is known as operating income. Some companies will report a line item before reporting operating income referred to as "EBITDA," which stands for earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization . Remove this from operating income or "EBIT" and we are left with "EBT" (earnings before taxes), which Apple refers to intuitively as "income before provision for income taxes."

Apple CEO Tim Cook poses for a portrait next to a line of new MacBook Airs as he enters the Steve Jobs Theater during the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) at the Apple Park campus in Cupertino, California on June 6, 2022 . Apple CEO Tim Cook recently gave the closest thing to a confirmation that Apple's building a headset. Cook was asked in a recent interview with China Daily USA what he thinks the key factors are for augmented reality, or AR, to succeed in the consumer market. AR or "mixed reality" describes technology that superimposes computer-generated images over views of the real world, contrasted with virtual reality, or VR, which completely immerses the viewer in a computer-generated world. It's one of the clearest examples yet of Cook acknowledging that Apple has something bigger in the works.

☆ Facebook îşi redeschide birourile, însă va prelungi posibilitatea de telemuncă pentru angajaţii săi

Începând din 15 iunie, angajaţii Facebook care îşi pot desfăşura activitatea de la distanţă vor putea solicita continuarea telemuncii, a declarat pentru AFP un purtător de cuvânt al gigantului social media. Firmele din Silicon Valley, printre primele din Statele Unite care şi-au închis birourile la începutul pandemiei, se află în centrul discuţiilor privind noile condiţii de muncă. Managerul general şi preşedintele Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg, a estimat că jumătate dintre angajaţii platformei ar putea lucra de la distanţă în următorii zece ani. Apple ar dori ca angajaţii săi să revină cel puţin trei zile pe săptămână începând din toamnă, însă producătorul iPhone întâmpină rezistenţă. Câţiva zeci de angajaţi ai gigantului californian Apple şi-au exprimat scepticismul cu privire la această idee.

Există informații că Apple lucrează la ochelari inteligențiNu este clar dacă gama de laptopuri MacBook Pro și MacBook Air de la Apple va fi reînnoită săptămâna viitoare. Apple a întrerupt recent linia iMac Pro, la un moment dat cel mai puternic computer oferit de companie, precum și boxa inteligentă HomePod, pentru a se concentra mai mult pe HomePod mini. Există informații că Apple lucrează la ochelari inteligenți și la o cască de realitate augmentată și realitate virtuală, dar este puțin probabil să fie anunțat ceva luna aceasta. În ultimii ani, Apple a organizat lansări de primăvară pentru serviciul Apple TV + și linia iPhone SE.

Valoarea acestora, în funcție de importanța persoanei din spatele adresei, a fost între 100 și 1500 de dolari. Cei de la ZDNet și Gizmodo au confirmat veridicitatea informației care vizează în principal adrese furnizate de Microsoft. În ceea ce privește sursa datelor furate, se pare că au fost obținute de pe computere infectate cu troianul AzorUlt, citează Playtech. Nu se știe însă dacă același grad de autenticitate poate fi asociat și celorlalte conturi obținute de hackeri. În plus, hackerii pot folosi contul de email vulnerabil pentru a obține acces și la alte conturi ale victimelor.

Spre deosebire de alte încărcătoare wireless de pe piață, avantajul promis de Apple ținea de lipsa obligației de a pune telefonul sau căștile într-o anumită poziție, citează Playtech. Din multe puncte de vedere, ce a promis gigantul din Cupertino poți vedea în imaginea de mai jos. Diferența majoră este că aparatul de mai jos există și îl poți cumpăra, dar a fost creat de Belkin, nu de către Apple. Cu alte cuvinte, în continuare telefonul tău se va alinia cu o bobină, doar că posibilitățile sunt foarte multe. Ca un detaliu, ar fi fost drăguț și un port USB C pentru încărcarea altor aparate care nu sunt compatibile cu încărcarea wireless.
