More Android Devices Activated Every Day Than Babies Born (The Atlantic Wire)

At the Consumer Electronics Show today, we've learned this somewhat astonishing stat -- even by Google's standards. YouTube's?global head of content,?Robert Kyncl,?gave a keynote address on Thursday, the show's second-to-last day, and told the audience that "there are more Android activations every day than babies born on earth," according to Forbes' Tomio Geron. The audience laughed, and other onlookers (including?Wall Street Journal reporter?Jessica Vascellaro, who first pointed it out to us) marveled at it up 27 percent?from the month before. By comparison, the U.S. Census Bureau estimates?there will be?367,419 babies born every day across the globe in 2012. So, Kyncl was completely right.
