Stock Talk: Google keeps steamrolling ahead with strong Q4 results
Google's growth continues to impress as it wraps up its 2014 earnings
For those of us whose idea of fun includes reading financial reports from tech companies, Google posted its fourth-quarter 2013 results on Thursday. And because Google generates the vast majority of its revenue by selling advertising, it should come as no surprise to you that discussion of Android was not a focus of the call. When I write these quarterly results summary articles, I’m doing so to share my thoughts on Google the business and relate the results back to the stock in a way that helps newbie investors understand a bit more about long-term investing. I also own a bunch of Google shares. End of disclosure.
Google’s Q4 results, in a nutshell, were solid enough to send the stock higher in after-hours trading Thursday night, which means Wall Street loved the numbers. On Friday morning the stock was up about 3 percent, while the broader indices (i.e. Dow Jones, S&P 500 and NASDAQ) are down.
Let’s dig into the numbers a bit and then discuss the longer-term picture.

Sony Cyber-shot QX10 high ISO images and 1080p recording put to the test
Sony started offering the V2.0 firmware for its Cyber-shot QX10 and QX100 cameras just yesterday, so we've loaded it up on our QX10 and given it the quick once over. For the QX10, we're looking at new 1080p video recording functionality – which it just enables for you – and an increase in ISO on still images from 1600 up to 3200.
Up top you'll find a sample video shot at 1080p, and below a sample of images shot at ISO 3200. Honestly with the video, there doesn't seem to be any big improvements over the previous 720p only mode. It's not great conditions right now for shooting, but it does a decent job.
It's basically dark outside at the time of shooting the stills, but the QX10 hasn't done a bad job all told. All we've done to the below images is resize to 2048 wide, but as you'll see the detail really isn't that bad and it isn't nearly as grainy as we might have expected either indoors or outdoors. We had the QX10 strapped to a tripod, but considering the actual light outside it didn't do a bad job at all.
At high ISO you're going to be making concessions over the quality of your photographs, but the relatively inexpensive QX10 has done a better job than we might have expected it to.
