estimates of $481/$482.5m. EPS of $0.28 also beat our/Street estimate of $0.27.

44% y/y represented 8th consecutive quarter of acceleration despite 1Q typical
seasonality. Impact from the disaster in Japan was minimal, as the company
executed across the board, while aggressively investing in future growth.
