Internet retailer Amazon has cheered Wall Street by reporting the busiest Christmas in its 10-year history. At its height, the company said it had been logging orders for 32 items per second worldwide. The company attributed much of the increased trade to rampant demand for Apple computers and iPod music players. The news sent Amazon's shares up by almost 9%, as traders seized on good news on an otherwise lacklustre day's trading on Wall Street. (BBC)
