<span style="color:#2E8B57">Apple: $1.58b profit; 2.3m Macs, iPhones shipped<!--sizec--><!--/sizec-->

Apple on Tuesday posted revenue of $9.6 billion and net quarterly profit of $1.58 billion, or $1.76 per diluted share for its fiscal 2008 first quarter ended December 29, 2007. The Company said that the results compare to revenue of $7.1 billion and net quarterly profit of $1 billion, or $1.14 per diluted share, in the year-ago quarter. Analysts surveyed by Thomson Financial had forecast Apple to earn $1.62 a share on revenue of $9.47 billion. Gross margin was 34.7 percent, up from 31.2 percent in the year-ago quarter, while international sales accounted for 45 percent of the quarter's revenue. Apple shipped 2,319,000 Macs, representing 44 percent unit growth and 47 percent revenue growth over the year-ago quarter. The Company also said it sold 22,121,000 iPods during the quarter, representing five percent unit growth and 17 percent revenue growth over the year-ago quarter. Quarterly iPhone sales were 2,315,000.

&quot;We're thrilled to report our best quarter ever, with the highest revenue and earnings in Apple's history,&quot; said Steve Jobs, Apple's CEO. &quot;We have an incredibly strong new product pipeline for 2008, starting with MacBook Air, Mac Pro and iTunes Movie Rentals in the first two weeks.&quot;

&quot;Apple's revenue grew 35 percent year-over-year to $9.6 billion, an increase of almost $2.5 billion over the previous December quarter's record-breaking results,&quot; said Peter Oppenheimer, Apple's CFO. &quot;Our strong results produced cash flow from operations of over $2.7 billion during the quarter, yielding an ending cash balance of over $18.4 billion. Looking ahead to the second quarter of fiscal 2008, we expect revenue of about $6.8 billion and earnings per diluted share of about $.94.&quot;

<span style="color:#008000">Gartner: Apple to claim over 12% of US PC market by 2011

By Slash Lane
Published: 12:00 PM EST

Apple Inc. will see its share of the US personal computer market increase twofold over the next three years from 6.1 percent to over 12 percent, according Gartner.

The market research firm made the assumption as part of a report issued Thursday titled &quot;Key Predictions for IT Organisations and Users in 2008 and Beyond.&quot; It similarly predicts that Apple will also double its share in Western Europe.

&quot;Apple's gains in computer market share reflect as much on the failures of the rest of the industry as on Apple's success,&quot; Gartner said in the report. &quot;Apple is challenging its competitors with software integration that provides ease of use and flexibility; continuous and more frequent innovation in hardware and software; and an ecosystem that focuses on interoperability across multiple devices (such as iPod and iMac cross-selling).&quot;

Some of the other predictions outlined in the firm's report include:
By 2012, 50 per cent of traveling workers will leave their notebooks at home in favour of other devices.
By 2012, 80 per cent of all commercial software will include elements of open-source technology.
By 2012, at least one-third of business application software spending will be as service subscription instead of as product license.
By 2011, early technology adopters will forgo capital expenditures and instead purchase 40 per cent of their IT infrastructure as a service.
By 2009, more than one third of IT organizations will have one or more environmental criteria in their top six buying criteria for IT-related goods.
By 2010, 75 per cent of organisations will use full life cycle energy and CO2 footprint as mandatory PC hardware buying criteria.
By 2011, suppliers to large global enterprises will need to prove their green credentials via an audited process to retain preferred supplier status.
By 2010, end-user preferences will decide as much as half of all software, hardware and services acquisitions made by IT.

Through 2011, the number of 3-D printers in homes and businesses will grow 100-fold over 2006 levels.

PCMag: OS X Leopard by far the best operating system ever written for the vast majority of consumers... :cc_surrender::lol2:

[Miguel Machado]

Concordo!

Quando mais uso, mais gosto do usar...No ultimo ano, usei Ubuntu, Mandriva, open Suse, Mint, Windows Vista, Windows XP e finalmente Mac OS 10.5. Este ultimo e sem duvida o que reúne o melhor de todos os OS
