Now a live shot of the Pro 5 mini, next to the big Meizu Pro 5, revitalizes interest in the rumored handset. If you look below the camera, you’ll notice a dual-LED flash on the Meizu Pro 5 mini. On the big one, it’s a Laser focus element and it’s oriented the other way too (this differs from leaked renders we’ve seen so far). The all-metal mini will allegedly bring a 4.7″ AMOLED display, a…

Home Depot’s latest quarterly results have competitors in awe, CNBC’sJim Cramer said Tuesday. The home improvement giant and Dow component posted better-than-expected fiscal fourth-quarter earnings and revenue, as U.S. same-store sales rose 8.9 percent. “This is the kind of quarter where you just think it’s not possible. I looked at this quarter, I said 8.9? … There must be something wrong with this press release,’ because you can’t do those kinds of numbers in America,” Cramer said on “Squawk on the Street.” “How do they do it?
