Numbers! Numbers! Numbers! We had a great, wholly different 90 Seconds on The Verge today, but at the eleventh hour — or if you want to be more literal, the fourth or fifth hour post meridiem) — every tech company decided to announce its quarterly earnings. Some were good, some were bad. Some were second fiscal quarter, some were fourth — everyone has their own special calendar. Thankfully we have renowned numerologist Joshua Topolsky to walk us through it all.

(PS, We're beta testing Ooyala's new video player — help us out!)

Stories of the day:

• Google announces $12.21 billion in consolidated revenue for Q2, but Motorola sees $233 million operating loss
• Microsoft posts net loss of $492 million for Q4 2012 despite record revenue
• Nokia Q2 results reveal $1 billion operating loss, 4 million Lumia handsets sold, and a lack of US penetration
