The VeriSign report didn't break down domain numbers, but the running total from Germany's DENIC shows that China's .cn domain has about 11.8 million active registrations -- good enough for 3rd place and 230,000 more than fourth place .net domains. Germany's .de extension is in second place, about a quarter million registrations ahead of China, and the grand daddy of all domain extensions, .com, is comfortably in first place with 76.5 million domain registrations...China Web Boom: .CN Now More Popular than .Net
China's top-level domain has now surpassed .net as the web's third most popular top-level and second most popular country-specific domain, according to a study by VeriSign says the Associated Press. VeriSign said that registrations of .cn domains had surged 23% in the first quarter of this year, and tripled year-over-year. China's domain boom is a sign of the country's growing importance on the web and rapidly expanding Internet user base.

Apple: Mac Unit Sales Grew 50% in May
Apple had a solid May for both Mac and iPod sales. As Lehman analyst Tim Luke points out in a note today, new data from market research firm NPD shows Mac unit sales grew 50% on a year-over-year basis in May, ahead of the 37% Q2 growth Lehman had expected. Sales of iPods in the month were up 11.6% for the month in units, slower growth than the 14.6% gain in April, but well ahead of the 2% year-over-year decline Lehman has been modeling for the quarter.
iPhones Could Drive a Third of Apple's Revenue Next Year
From Clusterstock: Good news for Apple (AAPL) fans. In 2009, iPhone sales should start to become material to the company's overall financial performance -- possibly very material.
Morgan Stanley expects iPhone sales to at least double in 2009, to 27 million units. At $200 a phone, that's $5 billion of revenue. Despite the recent price cuts, Morgan Stanley uses an average unit price of $550 per phone. This seems far too high to us, but 27 million units at this price would yield almost $15 billion of revenue.

Firefox Demand Exceeds Supply as Mozilla's Servers Melt Down
Mozilla's servers reach a two-hour-long tipping point as demand for the new Firefox 3 web browser exceeds supply.
Firefox 3: 6.4 6.5 Million Downloads and Counting …
Looks like Firefox 3 Download Day will be one for the record books after all. Though its servers were initially overwhelmed by the volume of download requests Tuesday, Mozilla soon had the Firefox 3 download site humming along nicely. And within 5 hours it had broken Firefox 2’s single-day record of 1.6 million downloads and by 5 AM PDT — 18 hours into its world record attempt — it had already blown the doors off the 5 million mark it had set for itself with 6,424,790 downloads.
