Recently it was shown that Apple gave wrong info about the activated iPhone in the first weekend. I doubt the authenticity of any report published by Apple now.

Oh well, this is business. Everyone lies. Why won't sales go up, now that Mac can run Windows & they are gr8 machines for those who just like OEM & things at default (iMac, Mac Mini).

People buy Mac to flaunt, then install Vista on it to work

any company that makes a 100% profit on its under productive products by thugging and brain washing humble humans and then 'hiring' them as salesman has to have profits going up

Show me where Apple ever mentioned anything about how many iPhones were activated before this quarterly report. The report about Apple selling half a million iPhones was a rumour. Since TUAW and a lot of other reputed sites reported the same news, it did sound genuine but Apple had their mouth shut up. They have only revealed the actual figures now.

Yah, right.....wasen't it you & everyone else who saw the report on engadget. Arya, Apple's philosophy is "thook ke chatna".

Since TUAW and a lot of other reputed sites reported the same news,

Nope, they are all apple centric reputed sites. You want real reputed sites then look at CNet, BBC, News.com etc

it did sound genuine but Apple had their mouth shut up. They have only revealed the actual figures now.

And Apple stock was down 4%

Yeah, because the fake reports had blown up the sales figures out of proportion. It would have been awesome if they had sold half a million iPhones but selling more than two lac iPhones is still huge. It is still a world record!

Lolz...wasen't it Steve Jobs who said "Be careful when u go to buy iPhone, you might face lots of crowd" or "We are trying very hard to keep up with the supply, I am sure we will be in shortage of supply due to high demand".

(The actual words may differ)

So, Apple has just been iHyping, isn't it.

Nokia selling 200 million Nokia 1100 is a world record

P.S. = U still have to tell me how to mount & see multisession DVDs in Finder, or which company lets to send you Mac to them to install a Blu Ray drive. From my inquiry in Apple forums, Multisession DVDs cannot be used in Mac, but since u r the self proclaimed Mac genius, do tell all of us here how to do it.

First of all, he did not say that. Second, maybe you did not notice but there were a lot people waiting for the phone in a line four days in advance and there was huge demand for it. Third, what you are saying only serves to prove that Apple is a brilliant company that knows how to market their products.

Yeah, great. Absolutely logical, comparing a phone that's been out for years to one that hasn't even been out for a month yet. Selling more than 200,000 phones in two days is a world record. Heck, no other phone's even been close to that kind of a spectacular launch, not even the Motorola Razr which has the second best when it comes to the number of units sold at launch.

I use multisession DVDs and the Finder reads them just fine. Each session is mounted as a separate disc. It is true, however, that Toast and Disco do not support burning multisession DVDs, which is a shame. And Mac OS X does sometimes have problems with multisession discs written in Windows and vice versa - but that is just as much of a problem with Windows as it is with Mac OS X.

Yes, with salesman like u, threatning the critics for death, & sueing anyone who finds a flaw is Apple marketing tectics.

I wonder, here on a real Mac my Multisession Heroes DVD didn't show, & in Ubuntu after installing UDFTools via Synaptic it worked fine & showd all the seasons. Arya, mind showing screenshot plz.

- but that is just as much of a problem with Windows as it is with Mac OS X.

Problem with Windows, thanx for making me laugh. All multisession DVD's show properly here. A disk I made using BrunAgain DVD in Mac also shows properly in Windows (UDF) but doesn't shows up in Mac itself

Even if you have it, You still can't play Blue Ray Disks & HD DVD in your current Mac cos Mac OS X 10.4 has no support for HDCP & the iMacs & your own Macbook pro lacks a HDMI port

If you upgrade to Leopard, & if leopard has support for HDCP even then you can't play cos your gfx card has no HDMI support

Lolz...nothing like that. The dude has his own knowledge & existence, which is much much much much.......better then the salesman.

[iMav]

ah like that no its because we re on the same side so most of the time our posts are 1 after another and add to that the fact the mac boys hardly have anything evident to speak other than some stupid links of text writen by other un-paid apple salesman
