Two different graphs. Both happen to be published at Ars Technica, with one of them coming from a different source. Seemingly completely unrelated, but when you ponder the waterfall of recent lawsuit-related news, these two graphs suddenly tell all there is to tell. These two innocent little graphs illustrate why Apple is attacking Android so ferociously.
Let's start with the first graph. Based on Apple's recent quarterly results, it shows where, exactly, Apple's revenue is coming from.

I don't have a FEAR of mimes so much as possessing a preternatural hatred of them... ...in fact, I think mime-punching should be an Olympic sport...
What? Oh, I see...
I strayed off topic, didn't I?

Do you have a fear of mines as well? You can either be trapped in one or accidentally step on one. Both situations are dangerous.

Since the thread IS about Androids...
Any techie wanna advise me...I have an aging Blackberry Tour—I need a ‘keyboard’ and I have been looking at at Android3. Any one have any opinions (on Androids-i agree-dont like clowns either).
Thanks, PM
Apple is #1 now and will be #1 10 years from now
