Apple sees 12% gain in sales with the Mac
Apple is doing quite well with the Mac, and has recently see a 12% increase in sales of the computer for the quarter. While overall revenue wasn't as high as Apple hoped, they pulled in a lot more cash profit and saw healthy market gains, with the Mac surprising people in gaining even when people weren't buying computers as much. Apple has definitely emerged from their long dormant period. The iPod also continues to do well, and with Microsoft ready to try and tackle the iPod tower it'll be interesting to see how well it does in the near future.

Post a comment| slake on July 20, 2006 4:56 AM | so do you think old steve will donate some money to a good
cause like Bill? Bill's latest is 287 Mil to HIV research, +
all the billions to everything else. No, I think Steve will
just buy some new designer jeans he can wear at the next U2
concert.

| Tedster on July 20, 2006 7:08 AM | Finally they got smart and decided to join the rest of the
world and become PC compatible. Perhaps that is why their
computer revenue is up. It's ok to have your own system, but
if you can't talk to the rest, why bother. Their new
commercials are extremely idiotic and show no understanding
of the PC world. They claim the PC systems are boring... um
have you NOTICED apple that the majority of high quality
games are on PCs? They claim that their computers are more
productive. Have you NOTICED that 90% of the world runs
business and productivity software on an PC? Get
real! The computer history books have lots of dead companies who failed to join the rest of the PC world. Atari, Commodore, TI to name a few.

| DragonMaster on July 20, 2006 12:58 PM | They claim that their computers are more
productive. Especially with PowerPC, where you had
almost no apps to run on it. Call that productive, the
program you would need doesn't run on
MacOS!They claim the PC systems are
boring... Mac : Nothing to tweak, no mods, you don't
have to build your PC, hardware and GUI are grey shades -
looks like a rainy day, when you screw up the system it's
much longer to restore, etc. It's ok to
have your own system, but if you can't talk to the rest, why
bother. An OS that doesn't work with the rest sucks
also. Their new commercials are extremely
idiotic and show no understanding of the PC
world. Even older ads when the PPC G5 was the fastest
PC in the world -> a few days after the ad went on air, when
Athlon 64 was released, Athlon 64 vs G5 benchmarks showed
that K8 was faster at a slower speed, and the ad still
remained on TV.
