This week Zynga announced its first financial results as a public company. It turns out it has added up to $311.2 million of revenue. Analysts estimates weren’t too far fetched either – with $301.08 million – but every battle won, brings victory one step closer.

Netflix is perhaps very unique among other companies in the realm of internet, in that it has had a very turbulent last year. Some companies went down while other went way up (hint: Apple) but Netflix had a bit of a mix of both. It started off fairly well, rose to high share value at the start of 2011 and then plummeted. Soon after, it gained a huge customer base, lost it and then regained it yet again. One final thing against the company was a lawsuit against it over allegations of consumer’s privacy violation. Netflix has now agreed to pay $9 million over the lawsuit to end it’s problems, once and for all.

Things have been moving faster in Europe. Google has been waiting for the US approval for its Motorola acquisition by the Department of Justice, but while it has been benched, the European Union gave the company the go ahead. “We have approved the acquisition of Motorola Mobility by Google because, upon careful examination, this transaction does not itself raise competition issues,” EU Competition Commissioner Joaquin Almunia commented on the decision.

Apple has perhaps one of the most turbulent history of all the tech companies. It rose to stardom, then declined down to near-nothing and have yet again risen to ever-greater heights. Right now, Apple has steadily surpassed nearly all rival tech companies in terms of sales volume, profits and overall revenue. Wall Street has been speculative about Apple but apparently, this new bit of news should placate them: Apple’s stock price has hit $500, setting a new record.

I am sure most of you did watch that extra-ordinary video by Corning ‘A day made of glass’ in which, besides all things else, Corning depicted that in future, cooking can be done on a stove made up of glass. The way cooking was shown in that video was more like a game than a tedious task. This is exactly what Samsung O Table Concept seems to propose. Samsung O Table is a portable hob that allows for a rather unique, futuristic way of cooking.

After in China Apple is accusing of selling counterfeited iPads as the name was previously registered by a local company, the nightmare could happen again if Apple insists on using the iTV name for the long rumored Apple television project. This time, the company that owns the ITV trademark, British TV network, warned Apple not to infringe its rights. The warning was issued two years ago, before the hype on the upcoming Apple smart television, and apparently Apple reassured the British company that they wouldn’t get into a legal fight over the name.

The Federal Communication Commission is putting some decent amount of cash aside ($300 million) in order to support payment directed towards phone companies in rural areas so they can build wireline broadband connections as promised. The FCC has established a Connect American Fund and the money collected is intended to be used for brining broandband to isolated rural areas where such services rarely penetrate. Even if they do, they end up working very poorly.
