Apple has updated the iBook/Mini product lines, increasing standard RAM to 512MB on all models. Contrary to many rumors, the new iBooks do not sport widescreen. All iBooks and two of the now three Mac Minis contain AirPort Extreme and Bluetooth. My take: Not a word on better harddrives in the Mini Macs, which is something I personally hoped for.

Find one sentence in the article on Forbes that refers to global install figures. Since it can't be articulated, verified, or explained, it should be accepted. Why is that again?

You haven't referenced anything at all.

I'm sorry, but you've claimed that I've referenced some "1.3 marketshare" just in this conversation. It never happened. You've lied about knowing about the global install figures being "much higher," since you don't even know what they are. That's just in this conversation.

No spam there.

Please provide for me a verifiable false claim that I have made.

It's almost as if I specifically mentioned this thread.

"Find one sentence in the article on Forbes that refers to global install figures."
It doesn't... yet I never said it did. My origional comment was that Apple's worldwide market share increased.
"I'm sorry"
I forgive you.
"you've claimed that I've referenced some "1.3 marketshare" just in this conversation. It never happened."
Maybe someone else said and you agreed with it. Either way, I do recall you making such claims or being associated with it in some way. At this point, feel free to take on whatever stance you want because I don't care enough to look it up.
"You've lied about knowing about the global install figures being "much higher," since you don't even know what they are. That's just in this conversation. "
How do you know I don't know what they are. I'll have you know that I talk to gartner research on a regular basis and they tell me the statistics you claim I don't have. I'm legally not allowed to reference the data unless I pay for it.
"No spam there. "
Yes, there is no spam there.
"Please provide for me a verifiable false claim that I have made. "

You said that an article appearing on osViews was full of speculation and that the article on Ars had none.

"You didn't provide any figures. Not a single one pertaining to this."
I pointed to a source that did have access to the stats and reported it. Yet you feel inclined to offer reason that we should doubt it because I didn't give you the statistics.
"It was a rhetorical question because I knew you don't actually know what you're talking about."
I don't know what I'm talking about because I referenced a reliable source that saw the PJ statistics? You're really reaching here.
"I also have spread any "FUD,"
Thank you for agreeing with me.
"You however regularly lie, make claims that aren't substantiated by facts, and invent straw men."
No, lies and no straw men here. Sounds like you have sour grapes to me.
"You hardly ever miss an opportunity to spam an Apple post on OSNews. It's almost like a victim mentality. "
I'm a Mac user. I prefer OS X. Naturally I would feel inclined to visit the Mac centric threads. I however have never spammed the discusson boards nor have I ever adopted a victim mentality. I have however seen you on these boards make false or misleading claims.
"Prior to your comment, please find a single comment referring to the global marketshare."
Not just in this thread.
