Bloomberg's Sam Grobart story has popped up on a best of 2012 news stories and I call it lame ass shit. If I was shill for Google or perhaps Microsoft, this story is what I would write. Story is from Sept 4th, 2012. Grobby would have Apple stop making Safari, Game Center, Numbers, Pages and the combo Mission Control/LaunchPad/Dashboard in order to save expense. Clickbait warning: www.businessweek.com/articles/2012-09-04/five-products-apple-should-stop-making1. Safari ? You want Apple to cede browser control to Microsoft, Google and the non-profit Mozilla Foundation. Idiot. Control the Supply Chain. 2. Numbers ? You want Apple to cede spreadsheet control to Microsoft and Google. Idiot. Control the Supply Chain. Yes, we are looking forward to iWork new editions. 3. Pages ? You want Apple to cede spreadsheet control to Microsoft and Google. Idiot. Control the Supply Chain. 4. Game Center ? QUOTE: I'm sorry, but what is this ? Answer: do some research. 5. Mission Control etc. Although I'm not a 10.8 user, I laud Apple for trying this. Apple is undoubtably learning a lot from user interaction. The only good thing in the story is that Grobby hopes Apple to make increasingly better software. Thanks.

Reposting as FUD. AppleInsider carries the water for NPD group saying that MacBook sales are down 6 %. However, as some pointed out --- NPD apparently does not include Apple online sales. Here's a big one. NPD has posted a similar analysis in the past. What happened in that quarter ? Mac sales, including laptops, set an all-time high. What NPD should have done. 1) Lay out their biases 2) Show where they surveyed. 3) Show the raw data. Why should NPD go to such "extremes" when other analysts have not ? BECAUSE NPD WAS WRONG LAST TIME. sry for the all caps. had to be done to make sure we all read it. appleinsider.com/articles/13/01/04/us-macbook-sales-drop-6-over-2012-holidays-npd-says
