Macs Defy Windows' Gravity
2008-05-24 16:31:00 Slashdot It!Consider this: Apple's retail market share is 14 percent, and two-thirds for PCs costing $1,000 or more.Should I repeat those numbers? The share data is for first-quarter brick-and-mortar stores, as tabulated by the NPD Group. Apple's market share is but one measure of success. Sales growth is way up, while Windows desktop PC sales are way down."In notebooks they're growing two times the market," said Stephen Baker, NPD's vice president of industry analysis. "Windows notebooks are pretty much flat right now." For the first quarter, Windows notebooks had "zero percent" growth year over year, Stephen said. By comparison, Apple notebooks had "50 to 60 percent growth." On the desktop, "They're up 45 percent," he continued. "The [overall] market is down 20 percent. Windows desktops would be down 25 percent." The figures are also for first quarter. I spoke with Stephen earlier this afternoon. He remarked: "iMacs are growing and the Windows desktop ain't. No matter how yo...

Refurbished Macs
2008-05-14 18:41:00 For a while now, I've been looking at getting a portable Mac, for college and other things I have coming up.Thanks to some new Student Grant, through the College, this was made possible sooner than I originally thought.I've known about the Apple Refurbishment Store, for a while now, but never really seen anything there which I could really justify the money for.Then this week, they put up some reasonably priced MacBooks,And the one I selected was a:Refurbished Mac Book 2.1GHz Intel Core 2 Duo - White 13-inch glossy widescreen display 1GB memory 80GB hard drive Combo drive (DVD-ROM/CD-RW) Built-in iSight CameraFor the price of £539.00, which against the cheapest MacBook in the store is £699.00, though that has a 120GB drive in.I think it's fair to say, I've got a good saving their.I'll post more about this when it arrives.

How-To get iPhone SDK to work on PowerPC based Macs
2008-03-11 00:30:00 Based on the analysis of the special event last week where Apple announced the details of their much awaited iPhone Software Development Kit, one of the issues I had mentioned in the In-Depth Coverage of Apple's iPhone Software Development Kit - Part 1 & Part 2 was that as a developer if you are still using PowerPC machines and you want to develop for iPhone, you'll not only need Leopard, but an Intel-based Mac to run the SDK. However, if that had stopped you from developing the next cool iPhone Application then there is some good news for you as...

Macs at Microsoft fail to shock [via TUAW] Ha Ha Ha!
2008-02-26 00:43:00 Let's all point and laugh: the folks at Microsoft use Macs! Because, you know, they make Windows, and Macs aren't Windows, and Microsoft and Apple are competitors, and isn't it funny and aren't cats and dogs different?Actually, let's not do this. Let's realize that Microsoft is a company and Apple is a company, and while yes, in some fields they are competitors, let's just put the whole Apple vs. PC idea to bed. Guess what: a Mac actually is a PC. It's a very, very well-made PC (in fact, the best made, in this blog's humble opinion). And why wouldn't the folks at Microsoft want to use the best PC out there to develop and run their programs?The battle between Mac and PC was cute back during the PowerPC age, when there were major differences between the two platforms. But things have changed: Macs run Windows, dogs and cats are lol-ing together, and the war's just not worth fighting any more. Of course Microsoft employees use Macs -- who wouldn't?This blog will tell you ho...
