Apple Music is nicely trolling Spotify after their fail with rocker Neil Young. The Browse tab is full of his tracks, and the marketers sent out pushers reminding us that the rocker's latest album can be listened to on Apple Music.
The magic of Apple's business is being able to make money from services and destinations on the side of the flagship product. For example, AirPods have more revenue than Uber, Nvidia, Spotify, Snapchat, and Twitter.
And the other day Apple reported record quarterly revenue: from October to December 2021, the giant earned $123.9 billion, of which $20 billion brought the company the service segment of the corporation - the App Store, Apple Pay, Apple Music, Apple TV and iCloud.
That's almost three times more than it was five years ago. The growth is impressive.

The New Yorker cartoons from the '90s went viral on Twitter. There's a mockery of a future where everyone is glued to a smartphone, working remotely at a computer, and studying behind monitors.
But in 1994 it was ironic, while in 2022 it's a humdrum everyday routine for all of us. That' s funny.

Meta's first ad for the Horizon meta-universe looks like a perfect dystopia world.
The New York Times in 2022 is not just a newspaper with a history and a famous brand. It is a rich and wealthy media empire. And the purchase of Wordle is further proof of that.
In recent years, the publication has focused on the purchase of non-core assets. The goal was simple: to diversify the outlet's income as much as possible. And the plan works. Games, audio stories, and a special cooking section, which became the backbone of the NYT's nonnews segment, have grown into a business that now brings the media $22 million per quarter. That's seven times more than it was five years ago.
And yesterday the NYT officially passed the 10 million paid subscriptions mark. Impressive.

Thursday is a brand new dating app. Tinder and the like have driven users into an endless wheel of choice: users look at profiles instead of chatting or dating. And, of course, they pay money for it.
Thursday only works on Thursdays. That means people only have 24 hours to text and arrange a date. At exactly midnight on Friday, the correspondence turns into a pumpkin.
For now, Thursday works only in London and New York. But the app already has more than 110,000 installations - not bad for two cities.

In Warsaw, pretty creative Dying Light 2 ads appeared.
- An artist drew a huge banner on the wall of a building in the center;
- during the day it shows the main character, it's nothing special;
- but at night a zombie appears next to him.
It's interesting that this reflects one of the game's mechanics: zombies become more active at night.
