Tim Cook on Android market share winning has never been about having the most update video

Apple's head honcho Tim Cook is chatting up Android's growth explosion, and it turns out he's not flustered. "Do I look at that? Of course, I don't have my head stuck in the sand," said Cook." But for us, winning has never been about having the most." Instead, he stands by the old Apple line of quality versus quantity. "Arguably, we make the best PC, but we don't make the most," he added. "We made the best music player, and we wound up making the most -- but we didn't initially."

Rather than focus on install base, Cupertino's chief turned to usage stats to illustrate their supremacy, noting that their slates are the most popular for browsing the web. "You can look at tablet web market share in North America," Cook said. "Almost every study I see has the iPad in the 80s (percentage)." Before even broaching the subject of Google's mobile OS, Cook cited NetApp figures that show 59 percent of worldwide web traffic from smartphones and tablets comes from iOS devices. We're sure the folks in Mountain View are content with quantity, though we'd hazard a guess they enjoy quality as well.

Update: We've slotted in a video clip of Tim Cook responding to the ballooning Android market share after the break.

6 Winning Vines From Tribeca Film Festival

Tribeca-vinesBrian Anthony Hernandez2013-04-28 14:19:53 UTC

Films, like many things in life, come in all shapes and sizes. Tribeca Film Festival gave new meaning to short films this year, however, when it challenged people to create six-second films using Twitter's Vine app.

After narrowing the field of 400 submissions to 40 earlier this month, judges for this #6SecFilms contest announced the winners this weekend.

"We were most impressed with the creativity at play when it came to the submissions, after all, making a film or even telling a story in six seconds is not an easy feat," said Genna Terranova, Tribeca Film Festival's programming director.

Entries had to have a beginning, middle and end. The contest was divided into four categories: auteur, animate, genre and series (series submissions included three Vines each). Here are the winners in each category:

Category description: "These Vines told a story or script that was truly unique. A tiny, concentrated expression of the filmmaker's vision."

Category description: "This category was for filmmakers who saw Vine as the perfect medium for some creative animation and don't want to deal with the live-action riffraff."

Category description: "This is the category for all the sci-fi Vines, western Vines, LOLcat Vines, and comedy Vines. These shortlisters showed us how a genre film can thrive in six seconds."

Category description: "For those that had a story too big for just one Vine, we let them make it a trilogy."
