Good article and analysis. The hidden truth in trying to boost android and windows is so they can continue to sell $20k white papers/analysis to dozens if not hundreds of interested party. THey have a vested financial interest in pretending others …

First, there has been about $500 million of free publicity for apple's new HQ and nother $500 million when it opens - how many other companies get that? It's not like they built in some small obsure city. If things really go south, the building isn…

Microsoft under steve ballmer was the intersection of arrogance and cluelessness ... and in terms of sales, what did they blame? That Marketing and Hype was THE only reason people weere unwilling to pay more than $400 for a WIN PC or that the iphone…

Apple confuses Wall Street because it's the first LARGEST market cap company that is NOT an enterprise corporation (either through natural resources or selling something that has a high barrier to entry/monopoly) so they think another company can co…

This is one of those trial balloons floated but the reality - unless there is a terrorist holding an iphone in his hand covered in blood - the link is always tenuous ... because a) this trial will attract so much attention no DOJ attorney wants to p…

Or basically that a new Apple unit made $1-$3 BILLION dollars in revenue in 90 days. How many companies have ever done that before? How about ZERO?

Yea, it's like those services tracking grocery sales but not including Walmart for things like Mac & cheese - making it MEANINGLESS. Since 99.9% of sales were at apple stores or at apple.com and they're not tracked - what are they measuring? NOT…

MS is doing the aliens tapeworm invasion - forking android into its 4th incompatible camp: Google android, china android, kindle android, and now MS android.

Google does not care if their photos app is usable. Their interest in you ends as soon as you upload ALL your photos and they can tag and peer into your photos. That's all they want. This is how they're competing against FB- Instagram and Apple - th…

Amazon is all about big data and little data (they can tell you whether an item is on the shelf in their warehouse or in a box ready to ship) YET has NEVER, NEVER announced ANY Kindle sales numbers. NOT ONCE in the 10 years the thing has been around.

Of course if you're a hater, you might as well get in your knocks first. It's not like Tim cook sis we will never break out a-watch sales forever. It will start out life that way - if sales merit, then maybe as early as Q2, they will start breaking …

so what happens if you can't upgrade to PHOTOS in OSX Yosemite?

You're absolutely right plus the bottom line is their ads seem to think consumers are morons and somehow we are all been duped - when people happily look and use their apple products, they know it's not flawed in any major way. Like that Cortana ad …

The iphone 4 which is available in some countries is $299 USD. Lumia/Nokia sells a $25 phone in India. Plus it's time for IDC to recognize Google Android and Forked Android as it's a different OS.

Samsung falls for the 2nd oldest ad agency plan - "Apple's ONLY selling more because of marketing so you need to spend a giant boatload of money!" Samsung bought that hook, line & sinker. So, of course, they shout out a lot of reasons that samsu…

Actual usage is more important than PR announced "activations" or third party guesses on shipments? How could that be? It's much more important that millions of shipped boxes are sitting in back rooms, isn't it? Isn't it? By that measure, Android is…

This happens with every release - Apple drops different "rumors" to different employees to track who leaks what ... and of course, Apple gets to push other news off the page - it's a win, win and no severance pay. :-)

Until recently, it was hard to buy macs in China not just distribution but because they really didn't understand why anyone would pay 5-10 times the price for a personal computer AND it didn't run WINDOWS out of the box (in Chinese, of course). But …

There are two takeaways - a) basically they repeated everything Apple is doing by saying, We're offering it too! But ulimately it's like a Linux Developer's Conference or a TED talk - you it's all just a suggestion because Google doesn't even contro…

The official in-store apple products returning is 6/27 - though itunes cards are back.
