If the full the range of Mac computers were for sale to the public, Apple probably would’ve been up in Mac Computer sales, when compared to last year’s quarter at the same time. 

Also, looking at those numbers, you can see why Apple did not have any big layoffs, when compared to the other tech giants. Apple simply didn’t need to.

OH PUH-LEEZ.... yet another "Apple is doomed" IDC estimate. Yawn. Honestly, Apple Insider, it's a disgrace that you publish this as "news" instead of "fiction." As the saying goes, if I had a penny for every fake doom headline about Apple published by IDC, I'd be a very wealthy man. Once again, when Apple actually releases its Q1 earnings in a few weeks. we will see that this is utter nonsense as we always do. 

It is 'news' and the source was cited. Whether the source itself has things right is something else. It's a projection of how the year is playing out. It could prove totally incorrect (in either direction) or get things basically right.

However, you are confidently claiming (with literally no source data) that the projection is utter nonsense. 

In reality that is an even wilder claim. 

What is clear is that disposable income in certain markets has shrivelled down to nothing and where some margin still exists, people are hanging onto to those funds just in case things get even worse for them.

Perhaps China wants more assurance the NSA can't access servers hosted in China.

It is true. Only US government has been exposed to collecting data worldwide. China has not. Only allegations after allegations. 

This post is a CCP propaganda FAIL. (Chinese Communist Party)

I personally have a collection of proven CCP hacks of the WORLD dating back to 1998, the year the USA foolishly granted China Most Favored Nation Status. At this point in time, due to the incessant proven hacking of the USA, Most Favored Nation Status has been eroded by the US federal government back to nothing.

Here is a phrase that gives away the entire show, CCP:
Red Hacker Alliance, formed with CCP assistance, eventually folded into the Chinese government. Play denial games and get bitten back, liars.

This ISN'T "allegation":

The Spy Who Hacked Me

I await your usual scam calls and scam emails of chastisement for pointing out the FACTS OF THE MATTER. Stop your criminal activity and actually benefit your country, CCP!

LOL Is your English good? Read this sentence. "Henderson speculates that while the Chinese government may not actively sponsor these groups, there may be, at least, a tacit complicity. " So your words are disinformation at best. 

WHOSE WORDS?
I suggest you direct that comment to the author of "Dark Visitor" (about the history of the Chinese hacking movement), Scott Henderson. 
I am not Scott Henderson, obviously.

More from Scott Henderson:

Beijing’s Rising Hacker Stars... How Does Mother China React?

Of course it is Henderson words. It is clear now your English is not good. 

I'm enjoying this so...
You are incoherent, waveparticle. You have FAILed the Turing Test.
