All I'm saying is that the plural of "anecdote" is not "data".

It's been that way a long time, guys. Here's the report.

Apple is third place behind RIM and Nokia. Apple is at 13.7 worldwide and WinMo is at 9.0

@Chris Zetye: The title of the article actually says it's due to marketing.

@Eulatos: OSX is better suited at dealing with less savvy people (unless they only know Windows obviously) and I think the whole thing started with artists that are clueless and could care less about how they get from A-B). Don't take it as a dig, it's a good thing. Everyone I know that uses a Mac is either an artist or curious. Personally I use a MB at home because I do IT for a living and keeping up on OSX is a must (if you loose your job the last thing you want to keep you from getting a new one is not knowing an OS).
As far as "tech pro's" go... Really, you run at home what you run at work. It's best to have as much exposure as possible and if you are a pro, you don't need to fight with your computer regardless of the OS. That is just fanboi propaganda.
The last time I had a problem was yesterday as a matter of fact (work lap runs Windows). Comodo pushed some POS update which was using 100% CPU and it took me a couple hours to figure it out because I couldn't login. That is the first problem I have had in over 2 years. I remember because it's when I bought my computer before last, I had a bad stick of ram which was causing issues, again, like this time, not Windows fault per say.

In terms of the "type" of people using Apple products, it definitely varies. But as you said, its easier for the less educated to use a Mac interface so that does to some extent stand true. I think more a more accurate description of Apple's consumer base would be: A) Wealthy Families, B) Graphical / Video / Audio Production workers and C) Less Educated. But really, the same apply across the board with "PC" (Windows) users as well.

Personally, I don't care what it runs, as long as it does what I need. In some cases you don't have a choice (for work I have to have MMC, EM, Visio, PP, and internal windows only apps) so you run the OS that your applications dictate.

Having worked in the aerospace industry the differences are very clear when you're a supplier to LCC versus traditional carriers: LCCs, while they care about the "purchase price" of the good or service they buy from you, they're also very concerned with how expensive it is to deploy / integrate your product or service (things like reliability, cycle time, etc.). Traditional carriers typically just want purchase price concessions and want to be on their way. SWA was always a tough customer, but you knew they'd find a way to get creative with you and get it done. AA was all about cost -- they'd hit you over the head repeatedly about price. It's like they had a script to read from.

Of this article doesn't mention the 10 quid baggage fee, and like the 15kg limit per bag, which adds up quickly for anyone not doing a small weekend trip.

There was a nice fluff piece on McDonald's; I'd imagine that McDonald's paid AA to show it as part of the NBC/Universal in-flight entertainment.

One of the big advantages to plane-enabled wifi is the ability for in-flight entertainment to be downloaded, TiVo style, onto a hard drive on the plane when it's at the gate instead of tranferrring physical media. Then all AA/UAL/etc has to do is sign a license agreement and the management is done by someone else.

Wheeeee!
In all seriousness, if $50 is too expensive for you to fly somewhere, I think you're better off staying right where you are. It's safer for the rest of humanity.

Less seats per aircraft = more legroom, less feeling like you're stuck in a sardine can for hours
Bigger airports = better connections to your final destination
Long hauls = do you really want to save a few bucks by flying NY to LA via Chicago, Atlanta and Dallas?
Travel agencies = some are good and come in handy if you need to reschedule due to weather, illness, etc
Different aircraft = appropriate size aircraft to fit the flight (= more destinations)
Better salaries = happier staff = better service (sometimes)
Just my 2 cents' worth...
