Apple's decision to switch to a smaller dock connector for the iPhone 5 may frustrate consumers whose old cables and accessories are essentially rendered obsolete, but it should give Apple and other iPhone accessories manufacturers a nice little revenue boost. Apple will generate about $40 million in revenue in the next fiscal quarter from customers worldwide paying for cables that work with the iPhone 5's new dock connector and at least $100 million in revenue from the new cables over the course of the next year, according to an estimate provided to Mashable by Michael Morgan, a senior analyst with ABI Research covering mobile devices. Morgan predicts that Apple will ship 47 million iPhone 5s globally in the fourth quarter of this year — a conservative estimate by some standards — but he expects that only 5-10% of those customers who get the latest iPhone will end up purchasing a new cable for it. The rest will just use the free cable that comes in the box. Based on this, he … [Read more...] about Apple Will Make At Least $100 Million From New iPhone 5 Dock Cables

You can subscribe to just about anything on the web — toiletries , beauty products , organic snacks — and now, one mom has created an online subscription service for baby clothes, Good Karma Clothing. "This wouldn't work in a small community," Sharon Schneider, Good Karma founder and CEO, told Mashable . "It's the network effect that I need." Subscribers receive one seven-outfit bundle at a time, which they later return once their child grows. The outfits come at three different levels — basic, for $27.99 a month, better, for $45 a month, and boutique, for $75 a month. The prices are pegged at the cost of a single new outfit. Schneider is in the process of developing a "Netflix-like" experience for subscribers, where they will tell her "loves monkeys" or "no princesses" and she will be able to recommend outfits based on user preferences. Schneider, a mother of three, came up with the idea while she was boxing up her daughter's old clothes to send to her sister, who … [Read more...] about Good Karma Clothing Is a Netflix for Baby Clothes

WWE's Backlash pay-per-view had two world championship bouts, but the show was really about one match: Edge versus Randy Orton. It was literally billed as The Greatest Wrestling Match Ever which, as far as promises go, is about as close to impossible to live up to you can get. And of course, Edge and Orton didn't live up to that tagline. How could they? The good news is that they still put on an outstanding show. Elsewhere, both Braun Strowman and Drew McIntyre successfully defended their world championships. Asuka and Nia Jax fought to a double countout, a real bummer, while The Street Profits and The Viking Raiders ended up battling ninjas in the Performance Center carpark. Really.
