It receives half the total revenue in the American desktop computer market. Not half the computers... just half the cash spent.One factor helping Apple is average selling price. The Mac maker has largely chosen not to compete with Windows PC manufacturers below $1,000. While price wars continue at the low end among Windows PC manufacturers, Apple's entry-level iMac starts at $1,199. True, Apple

Teresa Wiltz of The Root picks the best one:I remember the early days, when Oprah was just starting out. At the time, this was a big, big deal. You just didn’t see a black woman hosting a daytime talk show. And there she was, big hair and big personality, storming the airwaves. My earliest memory of her was when she had a number of white supremacists on her show. One of them—a fairly

Rasmussen pol:With Mitt Romney as the Republican nominee, Obama is ahead 42%-34%-14%. With Mike Huckabee, it's 42%-36%-12%. With Sarah Palin, it's 44%-37%-12%. By comparison, without Dobbs in the mix Obama is tied with Romney at 44%-44%, leads Huckabee by 45%-41%, and leads Palin by 46%-43% (with "some other candidate" in the single digits in all those matches).Pleeease run, Lou.

Don't miss this document of the greatest campaign we'll ever experience. Just fantastic. I wouldn't have skipped the story of the South Carolina primary, which profoundly changed the media narrative and made Super Tuesday possible. I would also have wanted a bit more about Indiana and North Carolina in May. Let's hope a more filled out version of the documentary comes out on DVD. Here's the

Nothing leads me to believe it as much as his appearance on Telemundo's Al Rojo Vivo. But no one should expect this to be a play for the Hispanic vote. First, his potential opponent's is Hispanic machine politician Robert Menendez. Second, his rhetoric on immigration is already quite well known. Why do Republican events have so many blacks and Hispanics on stage? Doesn't everyone know that

Snarky and rather tacky headline ("Obama faces white flight"), yes. But wait, there's evidence:Just 39 percent of white Americans now approve of President Obama's job performance, a steep drop-off of support since he was inaugurated in January, according to the latest Gallup Poll. That sounds disastrous, does it not? Especially when you consider his percentage of the white vote in 2008 which

On the heels of my last post on 2012, here is PPP's latest poll, which has the President down to 47/47 approval/disapproval in Wisconsin. Obama's problems in Iowa/Wisconsin/Ohio are about the economy rather than culture. If there's a recovery, even a minor one, come 2012, he won't have trouble there. If unemployment is still at 10% (or more), serial liar Mitt Romney will be very well

Finally, finally, finally. Its time has come. Because politicians fear being labeled soft on crime, there can't be any change without the consent of the loony right that created this problem in the first place..[Conservative, libertarian and business groups'] briefs and public statements are signs of an emerging consensus on the right that the criminal justice system is an aspect of big

"Post music pop stars," per Entertainment Weekly's Ken Tucker, who ends his review of Adam Lambert's American Music Awards performance with this:A day after the AMA broadcast, he’s all anyone wants to talk about, and his was the only performance worth considering in multiple ways. Conventional measures of “good” and “bad” went out the window for a few moments. Flouting convention: how rock & roll

Iowans know what they think of Sarah Palin: she's out to lunch. But Republicans are crazy about her. The first public poll to test Palin’s favorabilty in the leadoff nominating state found 55 percent of Iowans hold an unfavorable opinion of Palin a little more than a year after the last election. Only 37 percent feel favorably about her. And those feelings are intense: The percentage of Iowans

The RNC has proposed one for its 2010 congressional candidates. It requires the standard opposition to gays and immigrants, and the government funding of abortion. But interestingly, it does not require opposition to abortion itself. I wonder if pro-life organizations will read it carefully enough to notice.

Tweeted earlier, but this story is remarkable enough to deserve its own post. Another account by the photographer Paul Nicklen at National Geographic. And some background from Nicklen's website: I was very fortunate to grow up on Baffin Island, Nunavut, Canada where we were one of the few non-Inuit families living in a small settlement of 140 Inuit. The Inuit taught me how to survive in

Whitney Houston didn't have a decent hit single until a whole decade into her chart-topping career: the post-Bobby, post-crack "Shoop." Big pipes do not a soul singer make. If they did, Bettye Lavette wouldn't be our country's greatest living concert performer. So tonight's appearance at the AMA's was actually pretty decent, particularly considering the horrific, American Idol finale level

Her 20 point lead is less surprising than...She is the candidate the likely voters see as the most qualified, best able to understand the problems of people like them, most desirable to have a beer with, and most likely to win.I can't think of anyone who'd want to have a beer with Madame Javert. Between her cash reserves and name recognition it's hard to see how anyone can catch up. Sad. If

It's kind of sad that 40 senators can vote against simple debate on a major national issue without media scrutiny. Isn't that was the Senate is supposed to do? Debate weighty issues?
