CYNOPSIS DIGITAL – TODAY’S TOP STORY:  Apple has become subject of an SEC investigation after failing to disclose details about Steve Jobs’ illness to investors in a timely manner, reports the WSJ, following up on a story in Bloomberg. The way the information about his illness was disseminated, first as a “relatively simple” treatment for a nutritional issue, then later as a “more complex” ailment, has raised flags about what Apple knew and when they knew it. On a sweeter note, the company handily beat sales and profit estimates for Q1 ending Dec. 27, surpassing $10 billion in sales for the first time ever. Apple sold an astounding 22.7 million iPods and 2.5 million Mac computers during the quarter. The only device that sold less than expected was the iPhone (4.4 million sold during Q1,) raising questions about whether the App Store-accessible iPod Touch is actually stealing some of its thunder.

Save the Planet, now in development.   Full edition: CYN KIDS.
