Η Apple δεν ασχολείται με τα Mac;

The rise of the iPhone notwithstanding, the Mac is still a big part of Apple (a BBW50 company), which dropped "Computer" from its name in 2007. Macs sell for an average price of $1,300 with 30 percent gross margins, says Munster. By comparison, consumer-grade Windows machines sell for half that, or $687, according to research firm IDC. That's why Apple's relatively small slice of the U.S. market—only 6.4 percent in the first quarter of 2010, says IDC, up from 4 percent in 2005—doesn't matter much. For every half-point in market share Apple takes from Hewlett-Packard (HPQ), Dell (DELL), and all the other Windows vendors, it boosts its sales by about $3 billion, Munster says.

The better indicator is unit sales, which have grown substantially. In fiscal 2004, Apple sold 3.29 million Macs for the whole year. It sold slightly more than that—3.36 million—in the first quarter of fiscal 2010 alone. Charles Wolf, an analyst with Needham & Co. in New York, estimates that Apple will sell nearly 13 million Macs in 2010. "It's a real testimony to the power of the Mac brand that Apple sells these machines for nearly twice what the Windows competitors charge, and yet the sales keep growing faster than the rest of the industry," Wolf says.

Το λέω εδώ και χρόνια. Όποιος δεν παίρνει Mac για οποιονδήποτε λόγο ή δεν χρησιμοποιεί μία από τις χιλιάδες "εκδόσεις" Linux είναι ΚΑΡΚΙΝΟΣ και καλά να πάθει.

Και η άγνοια έχει τα όρια της. Δεν μπορείτε μια ζωή να κρύβεστε πίσω από αυτήν γιατί ξέρετε ότι ξέρω ΠΟΛΥ ΚΑΛΑ ότι αν πρόκειται για να βρείτε νέες Lady Gaga δεν σας πιάνει κανείς. Αν είναι να κάνετε μια σωστή κίνηση στη ζωή σας το ρίχνεται στο "δεν ήξερα", "δεν μου το είπε κανείς", κλπ. αηδίες.

ΚΑΡΚΙΝΟΙ!
