MacDailyNews Take: Perspective is a wonderful thing.
Now, does that count those fake iPads that Microsoft pays the NFL to pretend to use, too?

The power of the Government Approved Monopoly. Blow the wad to prop up a POS product to eventually wear down the competition.
What’s odd is that I just read an article today saying how the Surface Pro 4 is eating up Apple’s tablet business.
