how you like them apples?

I'd like to know how they did compared to the industry average of PCs sold. Perhaps Apple is outpacing them?

But RC!!! You promised last fiscal quarter would be the last good one!! How am i supposed to ever trust you again???


Bwahahaha!!

These numbers make it clear; Apple will be dead within a year.

GO APPLE GO! Talk about an amazing quarter. Mac sales are stellar. iPod sales were huge, and may hint at an even more mind-boggling holiday fiscal quarter (Q1 2006). Anyone who sees any _negatives_ in this report (aside from any hints that might be dropped during the conference call) is simply refusing to see what is an obvious and completely unmitigated success by any objective measure (*cough cough a certain someone from thestreet.com cough cough*). Low guidance for next quarter? This is just Fred Oppenheimer keeping the tradition of conservative estimates and trying (in vain) to lower expectations. Besides, the back-to-school push has just begun, and a refresh or redesign of the iBook seems all but imminent. Lower average selling price per iPod as a concern?! Give me a break. Why, I guess that means that the iPod shuffle is popular after all.

Keep proving the uninformed, naysaying, the-iPod-is-key-but-the-iPod-is-falling critics wrong, Apple.

iPod revenue grew by only 9%, below overall growth of music players. Check the facts, the music is fading for Apple:

Have we discovered who RC works for?

"Still, the consensus among analysts is that iPod sales compared to the previous quarter will be flat, at roughly 5 million units."

Apple shipped 6.155 million iPods ... the consensus was wrong I guess.

and yet somehow, ITMS share rose to over 80% - could it possibly be due to that fact that absolute sales and relative sales are two different concepts??? check the facts

RC, you are such a dolt that you actually make me laugh - remember the Iraqi foreign minister who kept telling Iraqi's they were in no danger?

inquiring minds want to know!

Ok, if you're going to make an argument, don't quote speculative information released PRIOR to the results and hope it makes your argument for you.

You so need to take some logic, stats, and ethics classes.

But then again, you have to exit the 5th grade first.

Anybody here think I'm being too harsh?

own any Apple stock, and hasn't for many years !
When they did, it was only symbolic, as they only invested 100 M$, which is a drop in the bucket considering the total capital value of the company.
A lot has been written and said about that "investment", but what was the really significant thing, when the announcement was made, was that Bill Gates was introduced at the Macworld Expo to assure users of continued support for the Mac version of the Office suite (still a very profitable market for MS!), the symbolic investment being sort of a "guarantee" of good faith.

You iLemmings have helped me see the light. I'm going to stand in front of an oncomming train. Thanks for all the laughs!

Jimothy posted a link to a report about Window's latest security flaw. Not just a hypothetical one, a good one. All you have to do is VISIT the web site. To quote, "An intruder could take advantage of the JView Profiler flaw by crafting a malicious Web page and persuading a user to visit the site, Microsoft said." Easy enough to get someone to go to a web site huh? Go there on a PC and you're owned by some North Korean. Now if RC would just go there...

Do you people care about anything other than what some troll thinks? It seems that the majority of the posts on this site are about "RC." I'm going somewhere else.

Sorry RC but Apple has the real numbers over 6 million. You better get a better source for your facts.

The light you've been shown is at the end of the long tunnel

Poor RC... he's like the Wile E. Coyote of anti-Apple FUD. Persistent, but always getting blown up or dropped off a cliff by good Apple news.

Go !

'RC under a train'. Now there's a result LOL Though judging by his previous predictions he would probably miss it.

"The company said that international sales accounted for 39 percent of the quarter's revenue."

Cool. So the rest of the world is important after all. Now it's about time Apple started taking more notice of us, and putting pressure on its local representatives to drop the prices to be more on a par with those in the US.

Maybe putting New Zealand up there with Suomi, Faroese and Inuit for localisation wouldn't go amiss either.
