Apple To Ship 2.5 Million Macs Thanks to Vista?
http://www.tuaw.com/ 2008/ 07/ 08/ apple-to-ship-2-5-million-macs-thanks-to-vista/
Filed under: Apple Financial, .Mac, MobileMe With all the current hype surrounding the imminent release of both the upgrade to Apple's .Mac service, now to be forever known as MobileMe, and Friday's launch of the new, improved iPhone version 2.0, let's not forget that Apple also makes other types of hardware that seems to be selling pretty well these days. In fact, according to a recent article up over at AppleInsider, Apple is apparently poised to ship 2.5 Million Macs in the Spring -- thanks, in some measure, to the poor reception of Microsoft's Windows Vista.

We’re number three!
http://apple.cooone.com/were-number-three/According to a survey from the Gartner group, Apple is again the third largest PC vendor in the United States. The company nosed out Acer for the second-quarter bronze. (Dell is number one, followed by HP in second place.) Apple shipped 1.4 million units last quarter, 38 percent more than the prior quarter. In the United States, PC shipments overall grew by just 4.2 percent. IDC research manager David Daoud credited Apple’s competitors with the company’s success, citing consumers’ disappointment with the “lack of innovation” among other PC manufacturers. Also: Windows Vista. ‘Nuff said. But that’s just the U.S. Apple still lags worldwide, selling only 3.2 percent more units abroad than last quarter. Compare that to other manufacturers, who sold an average of 16 percent more units. Macs account for nearly 8 percent of internet-connected computers worldwide. [Via Infoworld.]

Daily prata for July 9th
http://jimmyliew.org/delicious-july-9th-2/These are something interesting from the InterWeb for July 9th from 13:51 to 15:58: Apple To Ship 2.5 Million Macs Thanks to Vista? - (TUAW) - Oh how we love Microsoft for sending us the referrals. Microsoft Admits Windows Vista Mistakes, Criticizes Apple Ads - InformationWeek - Love the quote “They tell us it’s the iWay or the highway. We think that’s a sad message” … yes, to Microsoft, it really shows how bad Vista is. So let’s see - Vista sucks - people flock to Apple. IF Microsoft’s multi-million ad campaign, fails, considering its not easy to tell people a bad product is good, their investment might just push more people to Apple. Free advertisement for Apple. It should be interesting few weeks when Microsoft’s new campaign kicks off. Lively - by Google - A 2nd Life wannabe from Google…giving a visual UI of GTalk…but no Mac version..so no Lively for me First iPhone 3G reviews trickle in - Is the Jesus phone 3G as good as it is hyped up to be? The 2nd coming? Laser Tattoo - Instructables - Don’t try this at home, it probably hurts, like hell. But … damn cool looking tattoos
