Not counting iPad usage makes this analysis useless. Android's days are numbered as the iPhone exclusivity with AT&T draws to a close. Once Americans can choose a carrier they like, iOS will crush Android. An interesting...

The Mac thing is a stunning surprise! You'd think Apple became the iThing company and got out of the computer business altogether, but BAM! They sold more Macs than any quarter in history! Keep in mind Apple's taken maybe 10% of...
