The fact is the only comparison is the sales rate of something popular. The fact that the devices have nothing in common did not occur to them I guess. Unless they just are talking about the basic concept of a very new product uptake by the masses.

Apparently not, a new Jack the ripper is in town here in england so at least the IT technicians in England will get the money they deserve!
