May hardware sales see Apple as big
winner
06/24/2005 07:36 PMCredit Suisse First Boston reiterated a "market weight" rating on the
PC hardware industry after The NPD Group released May retail and
distribution data for the United States, reports Forbes. The month
represented the first material slowdown for PC shipments in over a
year with a 6% year-over-year growth, with notebook sales increasing
and desktop sales falling.
"From a vendor perspective, Apple Computer was the big winner, growing
units 79% year-over-year overall and 94% year-over-year in standalone
retail," the research firm said.
"The strength in retail year to date has been somewhat unexpected to
us given the consumer strength over the past two years, along with
slowing macro economic trends. However, it is important not to
overanalyze NPD's shipment information, as this is not the first time
units have slowed before immediately recovering--October 2003--in the
following month."

PixelMania: Where in the World is Tim?
PixelMania: Where in the World is Tim?
01/05/2005 11:17 AMWe all know TimTheEnchanter as the easy-going guy here at Spymac. It
has been recently reported that he's been travelling the world spying
on members, visiting exotic places and showing up in people's photos.
The first PixelMania contest of 2005 asks you to take Tim and put him
in vacation, family, historic photos, whatever... he can be anywhere!
Tim in front of the Eiffel Tower, with someone famous, at a wedding,
posing with your friends, it's up to you! And add a little story about
it too, for fun. A little imagination and some pixel-magic are all
thats needed to make this a fun contest; all we ask is you keep them
clean and don't offend anyone in the process.
The lucky winner will win a Photoshop CS Down & Dirty Tricks DVD, and
will get to take 12 inches of Tim home... well, sort of. The winner
will also get a limited-edition, collectable Tim The Enchanter figure
from the movie Monty Python and the Holy Grail. That's right, a mini
version of our Tim to grace your home or office!
To help you with your quest, we have a couple of photos for which you
can use to make your entries below (1 full-body, 1 head-shot). The
jpegs are on white background and a quicker download. The psd files
are outlined, transparent backgrounds. Use the full body or paste
Tim's head on someone else, totally up to you. The following Tim
photos are layered PS files: download here
Maximum one entry per member. Contest closes on January 19th. Those
who entered will then have their entries judged by Spymac members (one
vote per person!) up until February 2 when the winner will be
announced. Good luck!
