I recently reviewed Bento, FileMaker’s new personal database application, awarding it a four-star rating. To complement the review, I’ve added an image gallery that shows some of the Bento features mentioned in the review.

If you’d like a closer look at how Bento helps organize your personal information, its user interface, or the few features I didn’t like, stop by the new Bento image gallery. You’ll also find a link to the image gallery at the bottom of the Bento review.
Apple not only beat the Street with record revenue and profits, it also beat my prediction of $1.12 earnings per share. The actual amount reported by Apple was $1.19, or $1.07 billion in quarterly profit. Total revenue for the quarter was $7.46 billion.

Mac sales for the quarter were 2.5 million, a 41 percent increase over last year. iPods came in at 11 million sold, with a 12 percent growth over the previous year.
Apple’s CEO, Steve Jobs, said, “We’re proud to report the best June quarter for both revenue and earnings in Apple’s history. We set a new record for Mac sales, we think we have a real winner with our new iPhone 3G, and we’re busy finishing several more wonderful new products to launch in the coming months.”
Leave it to Steve to drop a tantalizing comment about new products.
