“I just love my new apple!”
Even though we’re in the middle of iPhone madness, Apple has some good news coming out of its Mac department: market share went up last month.
According to NPD, Mac market share increased from 11.6 percent of the market in April to 13 percent of the market in May. Note that NPD tracks only the U.S. retail industry; those numbers include PC sales at places like Best Buy and Circuit City, but they don’t include direct sales, meaning that Dell’s totals are excluded.
Still, better to be going up than going down. Apple’s notebook share is now 14.3 percent, up from 12.5 percent of the market in April. Desktop share was only up a fraction, to 10.4 percent from 10.2 percent in April.
I couldn’t decide which picture to post, so I decided to post both. I doubt if I’ll have any complaints.
Just wondering, Lauren, do you listen to MBW over on Twit.tv ?

Funny that, I distinctly remember walking into the Xerox show room in the Atlanta Inforum in the early 80’s and the guy taking his drivers license scanning it in on the very first scanner I ever saw, then manipulating the date on some sort of GUI on the very first color computer I ever saw, and printing it out on the very first color printer I ever saw.
That experience actually affected me in a very profound way. I knew from that point on that I wanted to be a criminal when I grew up. How else was I going to afford the hundreds of thousands of dollars that equiptment cost?
Loicking ???
That, my friends, is really Licking, with an accent.
Well actually it was a typo…
That’s what tehy all say…
tehy…
I rest my case.
(but sadly this last post mortem post will never be seen)
Joao – – – – – – I see you haven’t yet grasped my particularlyt brand of humor…
‘tehy’ was deliberate, to make the “criticism” of your typo ironic.
Jokes aren’t much good when you have to explain them to people who take things too literally…
Mr. fish, that was my first conclusion, but then it was too much of a gotcha not to use it…
