[CGUYS] Apple attempts to one up MS in account data deletion..possibly good job
Via Digg and engadget. Apparently under snow cat if you go into a guest account all your data from your main account can be deleted..*poof*. The theme of the story, disable guest account on snow cat machines and wait for apple fix. http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2194729 * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *

I know hard to believe I think Apple's market share is...well, their market share. Are you still counting iphones on the bus in DC and then assuming that represents worldwide sales of their computers?

Time warp. No wonder you think Apple's market share is 3%. Could be 3-5% or 10-12% depending on which statistics you choose. When you choose to count the number of computers that are sold, Apple may well be in the 5% range. The data skews upward to above 12% when you count the computers in service. Macs last longer than PCs, generally, unless you build and upgrade your own. So, while many people buy new PCs every two or three years, Macs have useful lives of 5-8 years. Fewer Macs sold, so fewer counted in the sales column, but many more are in service for a long time, increasing the percentage of total computers being used at any one time. Does it really matter whose numbers are bigger, when the profits/losses, quality and longevity are what's really important? * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *

Well if it wasn't important to some, they wouldn't be misrepresenting them so much. I have to wonder...do BMW owners walk around spouting nonsense too? I've known a few, they didn't seem to.

It reminds me very much of how they used to advertise also. Years ago BMW, Cadillac and especially Mercedes did not advertise on TV. They did not think that the needed thing to do. But for everyone market share is the big indicator and they want their products in the forefront so everyone advertises anymore. Kind of like churches.
