1. Comment - Apple takes away RIM's only advantage: iMessage copies BlackBerry Messenger

   What "cross-platform services" are missing from iOS? Apple didn't kill any services today; it's still the fullest ecosystem for all options. You didn't mean "cross-platform" as in Google services on Android devices made by different manufacturers, did you? I'm sure you didn't.

2. Comment - Apple Q1 2011 by the numbers: $26.7B revenue, $6.43 EPS, $2.3B above Street consensus

   Still NO, Joe. I've been following the data for more than a decade -- sorry that I couldn't find a better graph after a quick search. Sales are typically flat or down in the holiday quarter for Macs. Apple's educational buying doesn't happen in Sept-Dec; it's July-Sept. The Mac decline is not atypical. Even though that graph doesn't show the last 2 years, IT SHOWS THE TYPICAL TREND I AM DESCRIBING. And maybe it's better to ignore the last 2 years of transformative action caused by the iPhone and iPad.
   
   Of course, you are the person who attributed similar seasonal cyclicality to the Laptop Hunter "success" so there's no arguing with you.

   "Typically fourth quarter should be more." Not Apple. HP gets the bulk of their sales from enterprise which favors end of year. Apple peaks in PC sales either in spring-summer with new releases or summer-fall with educational buying new releases. This is an older graph but the trend is apparent:

   Apple almost always slips in the 4th quarter. Nonetheless, they have outgrown the total PC market for years now on an annual basis and this trend is undeniable.

4. Comment - iPad likely cannibalizes Mac sales, but that's OK

   You might want to wait for real data or at least one other analyst to say the same thing. Huberty is quite possibly the worst Apple analyst ever. It is far easier to bet angainst what she says than to try to agree with her.

5. Comment - 10 questions for MPEG LA on H.264

   If you only had 10 questions, why did you ask the same one 4 different times? Are you stupid?
