Microsoft’s (MSFT) Kinect motion-sensitive game controller for Xbox 360
went on sale on November 7. The company has already shipped 8 million
units. That’s sell in to retailers, not sell through to consumers, but it’s
still a pretty impressive number; retailers aren’t going to buy a bunch of
these things to let them sit on their shelves. By way of comparison,
Amazon’s (AMZN) Kindle might reach 8 million this year after more than two
years on the market, and Apple’s (AAPL) iPhone didn’t break 8 million until
the 3G version was launched more than a year after the original. (Business

Stat of the day
Commercial livestock and poultry operations produce half a billion tonnes
of manure each year, more than three times as much as that produced by the
entire U.S. population. Such large quantities of manure stored at factories
can emit “unsafe quantities” of ammonia, hydrogen sulphide and particulate
matter and have become the fastest growing large source of the greenhouse
gas methane. This has led to Indiana Rep. Tom Saunders (R-Lewisville) to
file an out-of-state manure regulation bill last week to curb the spreading
of manure, especially near residential areas. (The Business Insider
