Please tell me this is a joke.
Why do I feel compelled to point out factual errors in media coverage concerning Apple? Am I obsessed? A pedant? Do I have nothing better to do with my time?
Apple released it’s latest quarterly earnings report yesterday and it was full of good news. Apple sold more than one million Macs for the second quarter in a row, this quarter’s Mac sales being a 43% increase from the year-ago quarter, and the most Macs Apple has sold in a quarter in four years. Apple’s CPU sales are growing faster than the industry as a whole, which means Apple is gaining (still meaningless) marketshare. A full 62% of Apple’s revenue is generated by Mac sales. iPod sales increased a mind-numbing 558% percent from the year-ago quarter. Education sales are the best they’ve been in five years. Apple’s cash hoard is somewhere near $7.05 billion and the company is in great shape.
And obviously the media has to find some way to piss all over their parade.
