Thank you for the link to the report.

Can anybody explain how the float (public shares available for trading) can be 50% higher than the outstanding shares (public plus restricted shares held by officers, insiders, etc.)?

From their report:

Outstanding Shares: 1,550,586,076 as of Mar 28, 2010
Float(shares): 2,322,000,000 as of Dec 7, 2009

Has there been a significant buyback between Dec 7 and Mar 28? I don't know of one.
