Apple loves having 5% of the market. Jobs is a numbskull.

Mr. Right Now: “Apple loves having 5% of the market.”

If so, it’s none of your business, is it? Unless you’re an Apple bond or share holder, what’s it to you? If you don’t like their marketing approach, don’t buy their products. If you do have a financial interest in them, you are free to vote your shares as you see fit, but majority rules.

I hope all the thieves at Psystar are ruined over this. I wouldn’t mind if some of them did jail time, too. This doesn’t have anything to do with “fair use.” It’s outright thievery.

Apple loves having 5% of the market.
Especially when it's the top-end 5% of the entire PC market, not just of the PC operating system software market.
Jobs is a numbskull.
The market capitalization of AAPL, $186.1 Billion, says otherwise.

You were saying ...

Jobs is a numbskull.

Wall Street thinks he's the best numbskull that Apple could ever have... LOL...

Third quarter 2009 Apple has 8.8% of the US market and is fourth in sales behind Dell, HP, and Acer.

Just checked on revenues and profits for the 2nd Qtr. 2009.

Dell
Revenues = $12.8 Billion
Profit = $472 Million (3.69%)

Apple
Revenues = $8.337 Billion
Profit = $1.229 Billion (14.74%)

Yeah, those guys at Apple are idiots...
