Speaking of Apple, take gloves ...

In high-tech topics to trolls-who systematically trigger many reactions epidermal-abound. In this regard, Apple, Google and Microsoft are good value. BusinessInsider has yet experienced this weekend, writing an article, yet very factual, but combining these three headliners ...
The site has been interested in the exponential growth of Android, the Google operating system, based on the latest figures issued by comScore. He noted that Android has gained 7 points of market share over the last three months on the market of smartphones in the United States. That the share of Apple's iPhone has increased slightly, but fell far behind that of Android for smartphones. That the Google system now weighs 33% of this market in the U.S., against 29% for RIM, 25% for Apple, and 7.7% for Microsoft. Interesting, certainly, but which do nevertheless not the scoop of the year.
The article, however, was shared more than 8,000 times and viewed almost 265,000 times. And most importantly, it has attracted over 360 comments ... Comments by no means all praise.

"
In his two new articles, BusinessInsider does not just make fun of its detractors. It responds to certain arguments "seriously." Including the often argued that we must actually aggregate the market shares of the iPhone to those of the iPod Touch, his cousin, to really look for Apple to competing operating systems. The site was so bent on the exercise ..
And certainly, adding the units of the iPhone to those of the iPod Touch, the gap with Android devices is reduced. But the site notes, charts and graphs to support the market for the iPod Touch is growing more slowly than smartphones ... and thus penalizes the growth of market share from Apple over a year. Conclusions that should, once again, to displease fans of the firm at the apple ...
