>Apple controls 50+% of American computing.

Wait, what? If you want to say that Apple controls 50% of mobile compute, then I might be willing to go along with that. But the blanket computing alone is laughable.

You've suddenly just ignored all of the data centers in the US that have very little Apple products seeing as Apple doesn't make a server product. Sure some niche data centers have popped up with racks full of Minis, but those are primarily for people making apps for those mobile devices mentioned earlier.

And to whom are those bytes being served? Who owns the edge?

[dylan604]

What the wha? Just because consumers are using Apple devices does not equate to being more compute devices than the devices creating the data to be consumed.

What a strange strange twist of logic.

[echelon]

Instead of insisting my logic is flawed, look at the interface where communication and commerce are happening. Apple owns most of it. Google the rest.

These are not even close to being the same, and you moving the conversation. Or, you're using words in a manner that the rest of us are not following.

Again, maybe saying something like 50% of American consumer computing or something, but the blanket statement as written and unqualified is just wrong.
