​​🤔 Do you know what most increases the likelihood of internet users' online purchases?
FREE DELIVERY!

The impact of price consideration globally is immediately evident, with free delivery (60%) sitting over 10 percentage points ahead of all other options tracked, and at twice the figure for next-day delivery. Other rewarding features are also significant to note, whether in the form of coupons or discounts, or the chance to receive loyalty points following purchase.

​​📈 Facebook Remains Strong Despite "Important Challenges"

Despite the #CambridgeAnalytica scandal still swirling around #Facebook, resulting in a grilling at the hands of the U.S. Congress for CEO Mark Zuckerberg and the spurring on of the #DeleteFacebook movement, the company recorded strong quarterly figures for Q1 this year - including user growth.

This chart concentrates on revenue and profit. Although there was a dip in revenue compared to the previous quarter, net income rose and both figures are healthily up on a year-on-year basis.

​​🎞 Power of Compound Growth

The entire Sun render farm for Toy Story (1995) had (v roughly) 1bn CPU transistors.
#Apple’s A8 SoC (iPhone 6): 2bn.
That is, on a basic measure, a 2 year old phone now has more computing power than was used to render Toy Story.
