From the page: "The average Apple iPhone user is an avid email reader (not writer) under age 30, browses the Web heavily and may carry a second phone. Meanwhile, a lot of these folks would like a few physical tweaks to the iPhone."

From the page: "In late October, a buddy from my MacWeek days e-mailed me with this half-joking dig: �oeApple�s worth more than IBM. The Mac wins!!”

My friend wasn�t alone in his glee. Bloggers and Web sites devoted to all things Macintosh were quick to put a verbal boot to IBM�s keister when Apple�s market capitalization surpassed IBM�s. At one point this month, the stock market "

From the page: "My boss just said we're moving to Macs. I don't know if he was serious, but it might really happen -- he's a bona-fide, born-again Mac zealot, after decades of using real computers (he even had his own, successful Windows-centric newsletter).

From the page: "Apple's response to iPhone unlocking tools has been to release a statement that unlocking an iPhone may make it "permanently inoperable" if future iPhone software updates are installed on it. The news comes as little surprise after Steve Jobs referred to dealing with iPhone unlock hacks as a "constant cat and mouse game" in which Apple will continually attempt to thwart users who want to use the device with a carrier other than those it has signed partnerships with (currently AT&T in the US, O2 in the UK, T-Mobile in Germany, and Orange in France)."

From the page: "For network admins, the Macintosh has always been the purview of advertising agencies, entertainment companies, educators and home computer users. Mac OS X is merely a minor support issue in a Microsoft-dominated organization."

From the page: "Paul Venezia bamboozled me into buying a MacBook Pro back in January, and I've been using it semi-daily ever since. And yeah, overall, I've been pretty happy. Of course, the only reason I was willing to buy one at all was because Parallels made it so easy to run Windows. But while my initial usage ratio was 85% Parallels, 15% OS X, over the past six months, that's changed dramatically to 45% Parallels, 55% OS X. Yup, the Orchard does slowly assimilate you."
