Gap Growing Between Computer Companies
from the Dell...-and-everyone-else dept
Remember the days when there were thousands of computer makers? That's ancient history now. And, who's leading the bunch? It appears that it's some of the same companies that held dominant positions before the boom years even began. IBM, Dell, and HP seem to be getting stronger, and using the downturn to build on their positions. However, not everyone could come along for the ride, as the study names Gateway, Sun, and Apple as companies that are starting to lag behind.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
