  • goldliop, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2this really is perplexing,

    but what about cheese.com?
    i have a simple explanation.
    americans love food.
  • ctiptonk, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2...which would be accurate if hell had frozen over and he was on a PC

    (try pressing F5 in Safari and tell me what it does)
  • apotropaic, on 10/11/2007, -5/+7LOL obviously its fanboys pressing F5!

  • fauxXenophanes, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3Google it under ... iPorn !!!
  • inactive, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2More people are googling for 'garbage', obviously.
  • PAJK, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Is it frontrow?
  • darkhero, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2Bill Gates is trying to DDOS apple.com.
  • Ireland, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1It's 'Flag' checking Apple(dot)com for another chance to give out about them.
  • swordphish, on 10/11/2007, -3/+4No, Apple-R. F5 is filthy.
  • Hooj, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1It's not only fans of Macs anticipating the iPhone.
  • Aleks, on 10/11/2007, -3/+4Because people are interested...

    Ignore all Apple articles FFS! I'm not interested in any gaming/microsoft/xbox360 crap so I just filter it out... its simple to do!
  • fastfood15, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2its awesomeness
  • martalli, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1Now just imagine if Apple was going to pre-bundle ubuntu. Or if Ubuntu decided to switch its code base to Darwin. God, digg would go crazy! The servers would crash!
  • phillydrifter, on 10/11/2007, -2/+2How about iJaculate?

    iFap? I think iFap would work better.
  • pogfreak, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1Well the statistic don't lie... then again I think a retard came up with these numbers...
  • adventurageous, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0there is something weird, I just checked the stats against alexa and see the stats actually go down alittle. So something does not match up. But I would guess something is wrong with alexa stats as it only shows a spile in the jan announcement of iphone but since it has been going down, which does not make anysense. Anybody have any idea on how to verify this data?
  • antongranik, on 10/11/2007, -2/+2Steve Jobs spilt his coffee on the keyboard and F5 button is always pressed now in Safari.
  • diggzoid, on 10/11/2007, -2/+1mmmmmmm... AAPL @ $108.74 and at an all time high?
  • JasonCox, on 10/11/2007, -3/+2Simple, Apple is showing off those stupid Mac/PC commercials on just about every website, if you click on it, it directs you to Apple.com. See? Simple.
  • martalli, on 10/11/2007, -3/+2I really don't know. But I have been checking it more frequently lately, wondering if the new imac will suddenly appear on the website. I know, I know, it is a silly thing to do - Every other site I check will have news of it (maybe ever distrowatch!) when it happens, but I am curioius).

    I don't need or care about the iphone or ipod, but I am sure that is all many folks care about.

  • froglars, on 10/11/2007, -11/+10"making Apple the 13th most visited web property in the US. What can explain this big spike?"

    Witchcraft!
  • darkamster07, on 10/11/2007, -2/+1actually, I like it better that way.
  • GruntGrunt, on 10/11/2007, -1/+0Personally I have been checking the site for a 12 inch Macbook Pro ...
    The Powerbook G4 12' was one of the greatest computers ever created.
  • inactive, on 10/11/2007, -2/+1I love Apple computers, I hate the Apple community. I have never seen a more closed minded group of people. Sorry if I am generalizing, but when you have people who think their ***** don't smell, you have issues.
  • sadilak, on 10/11/2007, -2/+1ITunes rips off people, Just like every other music based website. Alltunes rocks!!.
  • mepawl, on 10/11/2007, -1/+0Obviously iPhone and Apple TV!


    /Me for Comparing prices on headphones.
  • fuzzybunnyarse, on 10/11/2007, -8/+6I myself went to the apple site 30 million times to check for the wireless airport macbook bios update that would render the thing as something more than a designer doorstop again.
  • inactive, on 10/11/2007, -5/+3@xen0blue

    You could just hang out with the rest of the freepers and ignore the real world.
