Research group International Data Corporation ( IDC , a penis of the IDG kinfolk just like Macworld ) released a report Thursday that showed the worldwide smartphone mart arise by — well , you could translate that headline up there as well as I can .
More relevant from the Apple side of thing is that Apple came in as the second - large marketer of smartphones , behind Nokia and ahead of RIM , Samsung , and HTC . Apple ’s liberal tail led to 17.4 percent grocery store portion , but the market is growing so rapidly that despite growing sale 90.5 percent when compared to the same one-quarter a class ago , Apple ’s market portion only grew by one tenth part of one percent .

iPhoto 9.1 update adds additional mark product options(Macworld )
Okay , now you ’re asking yourself , why is theMacworldremainders columnlinking to a story on Macworld.com itself ?
The ground for this tautology , friends , is to call your attention to a Soviet - like act of revisionism by the otherwise upstanding folks at Apple . When we published our first look at iPhoto ’ 11 we pointed out that the original version of iPhoto did n’t ship with support for calendar printing , but that Apple planned to add that feature of speech in plenty of time for the end - of - year “ calendar shopping season . ”
And with today ’s iPhoto 9.1 update , Apple delivered . So what about thatApple technical school note explaining that iPhoto 9.0 does n’t print calendars?Is survive , comrades . Like an agricultural rector airbrush out of a Politburo pic after fall out of favour , itwas never there . Fortunately , Google sometimes works just like the bracing winds ofglasnost : there ’s acached version of the pageproviding the the true about those non-white days when iPhoto ’ 11 could n’t order calendar .
Why blue-pencil the technical school promissory note , though ? What if some people have n’t updated to iPhoto 9.1 and are confounded about why they ca n’t print ? More to the distributor point , what about people who have linked to Apple ’s account ? Deleting pages from the cyberspace as if they had never survive is just bad physical body , if you inquire me . ( And if you ’d rather ask Dan Moren , sorry — you’ll have to waitress until Monday . )
