Another fantastic quarterly report from Apple was issued yesterday. Here are some of the more interesting points:

Apple reported a profit of $5.99 billion on revenue of $24.67 billion.

In the same quarter last year, those numbers were only $3.07 billion and $13.50 billion.

This was the best non-holiday quarter in Apple’s history, but the numbers almost topped the last holiday quarter to be the best overall.

About 3.76 million Macs were sold, a 28 percent increase over last year. Strong sales of the new MacBook Pros and MacBook Air.

About 18.65 million iPhones were sold, a 113 percent increase from last year, probably due to Verizon iPhone sales.

You can click on the wi-fi icon in the menu bar to see which wifi network you are connected to and other networks near you. But if you hold down the option key and then click, you can see other information as well, like the RSSI (signal strength), the more important Transmit Rate, and the channel you are using. Move the cursor to the other networks listed and you can see some of that information for each one. RSSI numbers, by the way, are measured backwards, with around -50 being excellent and -100 poor. But Transmit Rate is a better measurement of the connection.
