Apple Kills the PC Yet No One Seems to Mind When you go get a new computer these days you don't buy a personal computer, you get a Mac -- and with its move to cut prices Apple's ( AAPL _) is tightening its grip on the ailing PC market. The cheapest MacBook Air yet warns of a huge problem for other PC makers -- and there's almost nothing they can do about it. Add iPad sales, and Apple is already the world's biggest PC maker.
