The rest of us know that Apple's profits continue to increase when the numbers are normalized to take into account the number of weeks in the respective quarters and the amount of deferred revenue for each quarter. Apple had the same number of weeks in the December quarter this year as last year and the net deferred revenue actually went down YoY. Net income was almost exactly flat YoY. The only reason for the increase in profits per share was the buyback. Slacker

There's no point in discussing Apple's future with anyone who continues to hold such misconceptions on Apple's profits and the relative importance of raw market share. You're right. Opposing views are helpful when both sides are founded on valid opposing facts. The repetitiveness of the opposing argument here is only exceeded by the looseness in alleged facts. There are plenty of opposing views of Apple available in the financial media and blogs to challenge a positive view. Adding an opposing view on a board is only helpful when it is less blunt than I have seen here.
