What do you disagree with Roughly Drafted over - that he doesn't agree with your opinions. If you read his articles, they are filled with facts and common sense. But since he doesn't get big money from Microsoft for ads, you believe he can't be reasoned in his opinions?

Because RD is the worst piece of biased fanboyism in the history of evar. That site distorts, manipulates, and comes up with nonsense, all in the defense of Apple, like there's some sort of concentrated effort going on in the media to discredit the company.
RD is the Fox News of the tech world - no, in fact, they're worse. Everybody more or less agrees Fox News is moronic, whereas there are apparantly still people out there who trust RD.

Actually, seriously, being someone who is following this US election with a lot of interest and dread, I can't say anything negative about TDS's coverage.

You've found my opinions? Awesome! Can I please have them back?
I happen to kind of like The Daily Show, and if I were an American, I'd vote Democrat (they're just a little less idiotic than the other side). It's just that TDS is a comedy show, which uses clever montaging for maximum comedic effect, almost always at the expense of (currently) McCain. Which is great fun, don't get me wrong, but to trust TDS to give a fair and balanced (Ha. Ha.) coverage of the election is just silly.

Quote the proper statistic. That 21% is not only a US-only figure, but also an estimate by IDC. The actual market share figure given in that article is a measly 2.9% in 2008 - worldwide.
No one takes RoughlyDrafted seriously. You might as well get your election news from The Daily Show.
...in the US. You will notice that Apple ALWAYS gives out US figures only. If a company goes for a less meaningful figure, it usually means that the more important figure (in this case, worldwide market share) isn't as rosy.
Look, nobody is denying Apple is doing relatively well these days - we are all just worried what will happen when the iPod/iPhone fad wears off. And trust me - it will. What then? What if Apple doesn't appear in all those rap videos anymore?
