FORTUNE -- If anyone can draw a picture that puts to lie Strategy Analytic's claim -- widely reported in the tech press?-- that Samsung has become the world's most profitable smartphone vendor, Horace Dediu can.

The chart above was adapted from That Competition Thing, a post on his Asymco.com blog that compared the top and bottom lines of Apple (AAPL), Amazon (AMZN), Google (GOOG), Microsoft (MSFT) and Samsung.

Dediu's bottom line on Apple v. Samsung: "Apple remains most profitable phone maker by a wide margin."

Below: Dediu's revenue charts for the two companies by segment and product line.

Possible Tornado Causes Damage in Montana

Strong thunderstorms that moved across Montana left a trail of damage to crops and buildings along with downed trees and power outages.

The worst damage from Thursday's storm may have occurred in Gallatin County, where winds gusting up to 89 mph devastated wheat and barley crops that likely would have been harvested next week, Montana Grain Growers Vice President Matt Flikkema said.

"I've never seen crop damage to the extent we have here in the valley," Flikkema said Friday. "There are very little crops that will be harvested out of the area."

Flikkema said the damage could approach $50 million, even without taking into consideration what happened to 5,000 acres of potatoes.

Most of the grain crops are used for seed, meaning there could be a shortage of seed to plant next year, he said.

The storm started in southwestern Montana, where wind gusts up to 104 mph were recorded in Polaris, northwest of Dillon, causing major damage to homes and some trees, the National Weather Service reported.

Betty Barnes of Polaris said she lost several trees, including a big one that fell near her driveway.

"I said to myself, 'Well, thanks, God, for the firewood and for protecting my house,'" Barnes told The Montana Standard.

Strong winds and possibly a tornado caused severe damage in Twin Bridges, uprooting trees and blowing the roof off at least one building.

A weather service representative was expected to visit Twin Bridges on Friday to determine if a tornado had touched down, said Steve DiGiovanna of Madison County Disaster and Emergency Services.

Some falling trees damaged historic buildings, including the museum, and the roof was ripped off a veterinary clinic outside of Twin Bridges. An airport hangar was destroyed, a travel trailer was crushed by falling trees, and a grandstand at the Madison County Fairgrounds was flipped over and destroyed, he said.

Twin Bridges Mayor Tom Hyndman said the wind also uprooted a large spruce tree that is decorated every year for the town's Christmas Stroll.

Golf-ball sized hail fell across much of Belgrade and the northern part of Bozeman, the weather service reported.

NWS meteorologist Todd Chambers of Billings said the storm began in the southwestern part of the state Thursday afternoon and moved east, causing damage as far away as Billings.

The "long-lived, long-path" storm was unusual for this time of year, he said.

In eastern Montana, a funnel cloud was reported near Acton, northwest of Billings, where at least four mobile homes were destroyed and at least three more were damaged by apparent straight-line winds gusting up to 90 mph.

The Billings Gazette reports the wind picked up two of the trailers in a trailer park, with one of them being tossed into a neighboring trailer.

Duane Cowdin lost his garage to the storm, which he said scattered debris "from hell to breakfast."

Cowdin said a neighbor's horse was spooked by the storm, got tangled in barbed wire and had to be put down because its leg was so badly damaged.

There was another unconfirmed report of a tornado in Broadview, Chambers said.

Golf-ball-sized hail was reported in parts of Billings, as well. A tree on the West End caught fire after being struck by lightning.

The storm knocked out power along its path and crews were still working Friday morning to restore service.

A second set of storms moved through the Helena. Over an inch of rain fell in a swath, moving northeast from an area near the city through eastern Chouteau County, the weather service said.

'Jeopardy!' kid's loss sealed by spelling error

TV

5 hours ago

Spelling counts, kids. Especially on "Jeopardy!" it seems. And that's the hard lesson one young player learned this week on the "Kids Week" version of the long-running game show.

Newtown, Conn.'s Thomas Hurley had to know his chances of taking home first place were slim: He went into Final Jeopardy with just $9,600 ? a nice second place, but compared to the first-place leader Skyler Hornback, of Sonora, Ky., who had $36,600, it was a pittance. It was going to take a big bet on Hurley's part and/or a big loss on Skyler's part to pull this one off.

Then host Alex Trebek read the question: "Abraham Lincoln called this document, which took effect in 1863, 'a fit and necessary war measure.'"?

The good news: Hurley had the right answer. Well, mostly. When the answers were revealed (third placer Shuli Jones of Toronto, Ont. wrote "the second amendment," which was wrong), Hurley's answer came up: "What is the Emanciptation Proclamation." Right answer, wrong spelling of "Emancipation."

And while the "Jeopardy!" judges have been known to let small spelling errors go, that was not the case in this instance. Hurley lost, and can clearly be seen mouthing the word "What?!" before hanging his head in disappointment.

Even worse, he then had to watch as Hornback ? who had already been mentioned as a big Civil War buff ? not only got the answer right, he spelled it right and bet big: $30,000. He ended up with $66,600 ("almost a one-day record for 'Jeopardy!'" gushed Trebek).

For anyone who's ever tried, becoming a contestant on "Jeopardy!" is no cakewalk. To make it onto "Jeopardy!" and get to second place in the final round and lose ? even in part ? based on a single letter, well, that's heartbreaking.?

Debunking 10 Myths in the NBA Today

Chris Bosh might be a little bit overrated.

To suggest that he wouldn't be able to average somewhere in the neighborhood of 20 points and 10 rebounds while being more of a focal point on a team not named the Miami Heat, however, is completely unfair.?

Though Bosh's scoring numbers have dipped on an annual basis since averaging 24 points during his final season with the Toronto Raptors in 2009-10, he has become a more efficient scorer with the Heat.

As the third option for Miami, Bosh improved to a career-high field-goal percentage of 53.5 percent during the 2012-13 campaign.

It stands to reason, according to the laws of simple math, that Bosh's scoring average would improve he attempted more shots at that efficiency number.

Bosh's rebounding production, however, is admittedly more difficult to defend. While playing the center position for Miami last year he averaged 6.8 rebounds per night.

Though a player of his skill and athleticism shouldn't be quite that low, matching up against opposing centers has contributed to his inability to get on the glass as much as he's used to while matched up at his more natural position of power forward.

German publishers opt to remain in Google News, still expect to get paid

AP: German publishers opt for continued inclusion in Google News

Google said last month it would require German publishers to opt-in if they wanted to continue to be featured on Google News. The AP is now reporting that several have decided to remain on the service, including Spiegel Online, Zeit Online and Springer AG. Publishers have long been pushing for the government to change the law so news aggregators would have to pay for the content they scrape. A new copyright law does come into effect today limiting how much info aggregators are allowed to borrow for their feeds, and to avoid any legal scuffles, Google decided an opt-in policy was safest. This may not be the end of the company's troubles with publishers in the country, however, as Springer AG has said "it still expects to receive money from Google eventually."

Citigroup to pay $10.75 million in arbitration

(Reuters) - Citigroup Inc was ordered to pay $10.75 million (?7.1 million) to a former customer over losses from investments in Royal Bank of Scotland Group PLC , which was bailed out after 2008 financial crash, The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ruled.

FINRA, Wall Street's industry-funded watchdog, also ordered Edward Mulcahy, a former Citigroup broker, to pay $250,000 to the investor, John Leopoldo Fiorilla, according to a July 30 ruling.

Mulcahy left the New York based lender in 2009 and is currently employed with Morgan Stanley.

FINRA did not release details of how it came to its ruling, as is typical of securities arbitration decisions.

Watch: Tornado trashes streets in Italy as cameras roll

Published: Aug 1, 2013 at 11:39 AM PDT Last Updated: Aug 1, 2013 at 3:51 PM PDT

Two photographers in Milan, Italy somehow managed to escape serious injury when a tornado roared literally right next to them as they had their cameras rolling.

Reports are that 12 people were hurt but thankfully no one was killed when the tornado touched down on Monday.

The videos show the incredible debris that this tornado was carrying along for the ride.

The first one was taken by someone who had the tornado come down his street -- you can actually see a bit of the tornado about 1:30 in:

This next one appears to be shot from an office and shows the grave danger tornadoes pose from flying debris. It gets really intense in the moments before the video ends and I?can't believe how those windows survived -- at least up through when the video stops... we don't have the epilogue:

Here is another that shows the danger from flying debris:

This last one shows the funnel and the destruction in the aftermath:
