- mrb 14y agoWhat an horrible font they use to write the "that's"... So horrible I cannot even decipher the "???" word in "that's ??? 51 million Apple iPAD 4s" oler? der? def.? excl.?
- oniTony 14y agoWhile at it, is "2.8 million bottles of 1966 Dom Perginon[sic]" supposed to be easier to understand than something as abstract as 5.6 billion dollars?
- kens 14y agoWhy on earth would they point out that the number of active Amazon accounts is 2.6 times Ohio's population more than the number of people who voted in the 2012 election. Is this a satire of infographics? (By the way, "over" is your mystery word.) And the crazy font is FG Jasmine 2, according to whatthefont.

- oniTony 14y agoI bet that Target and Walmart have a very different ratio of Engineers to labor workers, than what Amazon has. Comparing revenue per employee is very misleading here.
- GiraffeNecktie 14y agoPerhaps a little misleading but it is a standard measure of productivity.
- dvirsky 14y agoI'm curious, How big is AWS within Amazon's revenue?
- oniTony 14y agoThey don't yet break out AWS revenue, keeping it in the "Other" category "Includes non-retail activities, such as AWS in the North America segment, advertising services, our co-branded credit card agreements, and other seller sites in both segments." Q3 financial reports this "Other" category at 1.582 billion over 9 months. http://phx.corporate-ir.net/phoenix.zhtml?c=97664&p=irol-reportsother http://phx.corporate-ir.net/phoenix.zhtml?c=97664&p=irol...
- phillipsdesign 14y agoIt seems bad form of PC Mag not to link to the source, given that the whole article is based off it.
- fidanov 14y agoPointless. You can ask with the same success "Just how big Walmart is, if it is only one store?" or "Just how big is Chevron, if it is only one gas station?"
