It's time to get your pro on through the reports from last week apple yesterday started taking orders for it to newly revised mac pro ours technique i says pro machines ordered now or expect the ship in seven to ten days. Last week global equities research analyst trip child re issue to research notes where and he said seventy percent a freshman walking on the campus this year. Are looking some sort of mac the number sounded suspect a fortune though so they've gone poking around and phone numbers that aren't quite as often as those down by child re- but they're still pretty sweet for apple. What's that off fortune suspicion the fact that just five years ago apple sure the campus laptop market was in little low teens. Well child very surveyed incoming freshman at five universities. Fortune decided to check with a research firm called student monitor which has been cuisine kids on campus for twenty two years according to student monitors most recent bindings eighty three percent of college students on the laptop last spring. What twenty seven percent of the eighty three percent owning a mac. Twenty four percent of the quiz kids on the desktop only fourteen percent of those had an apple logo on them. The news though fortune says among those who planned to purchase a new computer eighty seven percent plan to buy a laptop and among those students forty seven percent plan to buy a mac. So that's less than jel grease seventy percent and get student monitors as the numbers do show quite a switch according to the firm in two thousand five forty seven percent of students buying laptops chose dow's. This here that same percentage plans to get a mac. I saw something last night and made me angry it was brought to my attention by ours technic- er though i'm not angry at them. Okay i'm a little angry at them but mostly i'm angry and mister softie you see microsoft is out of the p c versus max section do with windows seven website outlining the reasons that they think you'll wanna windows machine over a mac if you're headed back to school. The redman crew breaks the reasons down in the six categories having fun simplicity working hard sharing compatibility and choice. What are the arguments under having fun max might spoil your fun. These are quotes by the way. Under having fun max might spoil your fun simplicity max can take time to learn. Working hard max don't work as well at work or at school sharing max don't like to share compatibility max might not like your p c stuff. And choice max don't let you would choose ours says each area makes a couple of valid points and they do for example you really can't get them back with a blue re- player t. v. to enter memory stick reader or built in three g. wireless. But max don't work as well at work or at school and max might spoil your fun. I'm not sure i understand why mister sup these spends so much time dishing the mac microsoft doesn't sell computers it sells operating systems operating systems that people can buy to run on max through virtual is asian or boot camp. Probably even at a bigger mark up and when the o s is sold bundle with the computer from dal or anyone else i was angry last night i mostly over it now. Just don't make me go back to that website. From coloring the truth to distorting ads election needs to says dal has a dell verses mac page up on its side highlighting the value of dell machines and their performance versus the higher priced apple machines. I won't go into them spec by speck of selecting used it does i will say the two most agree just distortions to me though. They compare their current desktops to be a last version of the i mac not the most recently updated version. Also well they say that apple charges nearly doubled first similar machines in some instances they don't say that in some instances they're comparing apples off the rack price person sale prices on the dell machines. How much does that suck. Exaggeration is a frequent strategy in computer comparisons and has been used by apple in the past says election east uh. But it's unclear wide dial is chosen do suddenly attack the company and not h. b. or at sir most likely answer is the relative share of the educational market as apple has he disproportionately high amount of american college and university computer sales. Not as high as some people think but still. If you've done i phone and you've got a t and t's i p. t. v. service you verse then you've got t. v. on your eyes on pretty soon c. n. n. has the death star announcing the tie up yesterday. According to the p subscribers to you burst will be able to browse the services t. v. guide download shows by a wife by and watch them anywhere. A t and t spokesman david christopher's as we think this i. e. of t. v. everywhere is very compelling and important this lets us be the first one to marry what we think is the best t. v. product in the industry. With the best smart phone in the industry. So a t and t thing see i phone is the best smart going in the industry but they're not afraid to lose it and wanting to keep life on customers once they're able to bail has nothing to do with giving them something for which they would normally charge extra for free. Do i have that right christopher's as the u. burst apple also be available for the new blackberry towards rooms latest answered the i phone which goes on sale exclusively through a t and t on thursday. Well most like that be enough to make at n t the number one wireless carrier in the states before they lose their exclusive hold on the i a phone. Could be. I like to needs to has market research or i eat market research saying that that start could re claim the top spot in u. s. carriers my next year.
