It was you who labeled these graphs. ... Who you trying to kid?

Why don't you provide the link to your religious pamphlet so we can check the numbers ourselves. It's okay, we promise not to laugh......maybe.

Revenue = the entire amount of income before any deductions are made

Revenue = The income attributable to a designated fiscal accounting period that will affect the balance (surplus) or deficit resulting from the operations of that period

Revenue = The total income, both cash and non cash, received from an enterprise or business, before any expenses are paid.

Ben's problems is he thinks computing is just statistics. Faster, maybe, but how about ease of use, beautify GUI, tight intergration of hardware/software. All this makes for a better computing experience. That's the difference between PC's and Macs. It may be an appliance to Ben, but its not to others. As it is in the modern world, there are those that buy cheap crap stuff and then there are those that buy the best there is.

Its OK, you can own cheap crap stuff, but it doesn't make it better. Sorry we hurt your feelings Ben. It OK that you use cheap crap computers.

Ben - I really thought everyone was smart enough to see the URL on the graphs

It's a big clue!

Here's the URL http://10layers.com/2007/01/2010-app...han-microsoft/

Are you joking? By the way i think its funny how you called us windows fanboys when we bring up valid arguments and all you do is say that windows isn't secure.

There you go, bro.

That's all you had to do. That way you wouldn't have to defend or explain someone else's BS.

Btw, the URL on graph was just to the gif file. It doesn't directly lead to the article, though with some effort most but not all should be able to find it.

Why don't we look at some real comedy, like this classic from Mr Bill Gates....

Gates: Spam To Be Canned By 2006

A spam-free world by 2006? That's what Microsoft Corp. chairman Bill Gates is promising.

“Two years from now, spam will be solved,” he told a select group of World Economic Forum participants at this Alpine ski resort. “And a lot of progress this year,” he added at the event late Friday, hosted by U.S. talk show host Charlie Rose.

Gates said Microsoft, where he has the title of chief software designer, is working on a solution based on the concept of “proof,” or identifying the sender of the e-mail.

Now that's funny!

Last time I looked - don't think that SPAM has actually ceased.....

And here's the link for Ben - just in case he thinks I made it up.....

The URL for the website was printed on the graph

It's the bit that ends in .com

Sorry I couldn't get that to you sooner

Now you're learning. That should be the first thing you learn in college.

No quotation without attribution. That's a cardinal rule.

Otherwise it will be assumed to be yours, and it will be challenged.....guaranteed.

The 10layers.com religious pamphlet I was able to find easily.

But it doesn't lead directly to the article, as I said.

OK

You type in the URL from the graph

You go to the little white box to the right of the index page

Where it says 'search 10Layers.com'

You type in your key word, like 'apple'

And you find your article

Glad I could provide you with this free lesson.

Other really basic stuff about your PC can be found @ http://www.videoprofessor.com

They are waiting for your call!

And I back that stance with links to multiple security companies, and their take on the current security landscape with Windows, and the Department of Homeland Security's own website.

So if you want to argue with them, feel free.

Revenue IS NOT INCOME no mmatter who spins it. Here is a link (if your MAC can get to it) that will give you a brief overview of a how to read an Income Statement. Read it slowly.
