Tipping Point? For HP maybe.
"Both Apple and Hewlett-Packard (HP) experienced roughly the same growth in Q1 2007, according to Gartner (30 percent for Apple in the US only; 28.7 percent for HP worldwide, 25.8 percent in the US). However, note that HP saw huge gains worldwide, while Apple's growth is only known for the US. I've often discussed the fact that growth is easier to achieve when you're starting from a small position in the market. That HP was able to basically duplicate Apple's growth, and do so across the globe, and not just in the richest PC market, is somewhat astonishing." http://www.internet-nexus.com/2007/04/q1-2007-worldwide-pc-market-share.htm HP's US market share grew from Q1 2006 to Q1 2007 by almost Apples total US market share. 21% to 25.7% http://www.digitimes.com/systems/a20070420PR208.html This post was edited by NotParker on Monday, April 23, 2007 at 22:11. |

r.scoble on mac...
"I was using my Mac today (17-inch MacBookPro that’s fairly new) and all of a sudden a pattern of weird boxes came on the screen, then the mouse froze, and now it won’t properly boot, same pattern remains on screen. Sigh. I hate it when my computers die. At least I now have a backup. So back to work. Who said Macs never crash? Not me." http://tinyurl.com/3c3hzn This post was edited by mooresa56 on Tuesday, April 24, 2007 at 00:56. |

"According to Jerome Roth, Anderson’s attorney, the backdating of a 2001 options grant to certain Apple executives was arranged by Heinen and Jobs and approved by the board, even after Anderson warned Jobs that moving the grant date might result in an accounting change. This is the first direct challenge to Apple’s contention that while Jobs was aware of backdating, he didn’t commit fraud, because he didn’t know that there were any legal or accounting implications." http://home.businesswire.com/portal/site/google/index.jsp?ndmViewId=news_view&newsId=20070424006168&newsLang=en "Fred was told by Steve Jobs in late January 2001 that Mr. Jobs had the agreement of the Board of Directors for the Executive Team grant on January 2, 2001. At the time Mr. Jobs provided Fred this assurance, Fred cautioned Mr. Jobs that the Executive Team grant would have to be priced based on the date of the actual Board agreement or there could be an accounting charge. He further advised Mr. Jobs that the Board would have to confirm its prior approval in a legally satisfactory method. He was told by Mr. Jobs that the Board had given its prior approval and the Board would verify it. Fred relied on these statements by Mr. Jobs and from them concluded the grant was being properly handled. Fred understood that, under Apple's stock option plan and accounting rules at the time, a grant date could be moved to a later date than the date of the actual grant decision and that there would be no compensation expense as long as the stock price on the new date was higher than the price on the original date. Apple's 1998 Executive Officer Stock Option Plan provided in Section 16 that ‘The date of grant of an Option…shall be, for all purposes, the date on which the Administrator (in this case the Board) makes the determination granting such Option…or such later date as is determined by the Administrator ‘. Mr. Anderson understood that the date of grant was to be moved forward pursuant to this provision from January 2 to January 17 to avoid any appearance of impropriety that might arise from a grant awarded just prior to the stock price rise that resulted from the 2001 MacWorld exhibition and Mr. Job's keynote speech at the exhibition on January 9. He further understood that the January 17 date was selected by Mr. Jobs and Ms. Nancy Heinen, the former General Counsel, and that the stock price on January 17 was higher than the price on January 2. Finally, Mr. Anderson understood that the Board of Directors, which consisted of sophisticated corporate executives of national stature, including the former Chief Financial Officer of IBM, verified the January 17 date by signing in early February 2001 a Unanimous Written Consent (UWC) with an effective date of January 17. It now appears the Board may not have given the necessary prior approval to the grants, contrary to what Mr. Anderson understood from Mr. Jobs and from the Board's signing of the UWC with an effective date of January 17. " If this is documented, Jobs is going to jail. |
