iTunes App Store approvals pass a half-million, but only about 400,000 are currently active. http://bit.ly/mAmjAH #yg

A rare brand stat: 100% of Apple Store shoppers who own Apple products recommend them to friends and family. #yg http://bit.ly/j7iXfP

My take on Apple’s retail reboot: New in-store connected experiences will boost already-high customer loyalty. #yg http://bit.ly/j7iXfP

A colleague just told me that there is a bright yellow orb up in the sky over Boston. Frankly that’s just crazy talk. Must be the rapture.

Please forgive the outburst, but I just have to say it: IT FINALLY STOPPED RAINING!!!!!!!!

Lawyers gather experimental data to prove AT&T overbills data to iPhone/iPad users. I think this may have legs. http://bit.ly/lU4OCQ #yg

@asymco Just gotta say, I love your data and visualizations Horace. You do some of the best AAPL analysis I’ve seen.

@cultofmac @asymco Some stores are higher — 5th avenue store was about $35,000 per square foot in 2010. Shangai rumored to be even bigger.

@cultofmac @asymco Current rolling average of Apple Store revenue per square foot is roughly $5160 per square foot, amazing by any standard.

@cultofmac @asymco Sep2010 2.5m sq ft was for 301 stores, or 8300 sq ft/store. Apple now has 323 stores, or 2.7m sq ft. http://bit.ly/iudl52
