...The One-Minute Pundit

The Guardian prints what it supposes to be an iconoclastic piece on "declining" iPod sales, and some spiritual site called MacDailyNews responds politely -- at least, as politely as the most fervent acolyte of the Religion of STEVE could:

MacDailyNews Note: iPod unit sales:
• Q4 03: 336,000
• Q1 04: 733,000 (holiday quarter)
• Q2 04: 807,000
• Q3 04: 860,000
• Q4 04: 2,016,000
• Q1 05: 4,580,000 (holiday quarter)
• Q2 05: 5,311,000
• Q3 05: 6,155,000
• Q4 05: 6,451,000
• Q1 06: 14,043,000 (holiday quarter)
• Q2 06: 8,526,000
• Q3 06: 8,111,000

DURING NO QUARTER HAVE YEAR-TO-YEAR IPOD SALES DECLINED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Overemphasis added]

Thank you for the hint, o priests of Jobism -- and the annoying audio pop-under ad that accompanied it.
