The graphic above, courtesy of Asymco's Horace Dediu, compares Apple's (AAPL) cash flow for fiscal Q1 2011 (on right) with the same quarter in 2010 (left).

Appsfire's Ouriel Ohayon has put together an infographic, copied in full below the fold, based on data from more than 1,000 Apple (AAPL) iOS devices registered and synchronized with his application discovery service.
The results, he says, should settle once and for all the debate about "who wins" -- web apps or native MORE

Best known for its consumer tech investments, the fund ventures into enterprise cloud computing.
Marc Andreessen sees clarity in the cloud.
Venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz is best known for high-profile investments like Zynga, Foursquare and Skype. But the fund, headed by Netscape co-founder Marc Andreessen and his longtime business partner Ben Horowitz, is also betting big on business-to-business upstarts, and these days that means backing companies that enable or rely MORE

A photo of the protests posted on the Facebook group page, "We are all Khaled Said."
Multiple outlets are reporting that Egypt has shut off local web access, a first in Internet history. Tweeted CNN reporter Ben Wedeman: "No internet, no SMS, what is next? Mobile phones and land lines? So much for stability. #Jan25 #Egypt" The MORE

Well, duh. Wonder why?
At the moment, you cannot buy an AT&T (T) Android phone with an OS that is under a year old. Think about that for a second. As far as 2010 Android OS's, AT&T wasn't interested. Android 2.1 was released in January of last year. Android 2.2 came in May and Android 2.3 was released last month.
At the top of AT&T's current lineup, Dell's (DELL) Streak, Samsung's MORE

Under the new management, autonomous groups within the company will not only operate more independently, but also represent themselves externally.
The cover of this week's BloombergBusinessweek isn't overflowing with new information on Google (GOOG) or new CEO Larry Page, but it does seem to represent the new Google (please don't say Google 3.0) as an organization moving away from a centralized focus.

One thing you can count on at any tech trade show is an army of entrepreneurs hawking accessories for whatever the hot product happens to be that year.
For the past few Macworlds -- the annual gathering for third-party Apple vendors that Apple (AAPL) no longer deigns to attend -- the accessory MORE

A new logo was found in the Android 3.0 that seems to blend the old Android, Honeycomb and Tron.
Along with the new look of the 'holographic OS', Google (GOOG) is rolling out some new icons in its Android 3.0 OS. Found by developers at AndroidCommunity inside the just released Android SDK, the new neon Android logo (pictured, right) looks to replace the green guy we've grown accustomed to.

At Macworld, an avian slingshot game wins top spot in seven categories

Angry Birds hardly needs any more accolades.
The game -- in which players use a slingshot to launch small flightless birds at pigs protected by increasingly complex but unstable structures -- dominated Apple's (AAPL) App Store for most of 2010. The $4.99 version is still the store's No. 1 best-selling paid app in both its iPhone and iPad MORE
