CARNAVAL FEVER!

APPLE UP, WINDOWS DOWN!!!

During the last several months Apple has improved it's share while Windows has lowered theirs. Apple's market share has risen month to month in seven of the last 11 months. It has changed from 7.48% in March 2008, to 9.63% in December of that year. Microsoft, on the other hand, has seen its share drop in seven months since March, when Windows had a 91.57% share to an 88.68% share in December.

In the browser market, Microsoft's Internet Explorer suffered a month-to-month decrease in January of sixth-tenths of a percent to 67.55%, according to Net Applications. Mozilla's Firefox, on the other hand, rose nearly two-tenths of a percent to 21.53%.

This shows how even though Apple is more expensive it is starting to improve in the market because consumers want quality and efficiency. It can maybe look as if john Asensi had inveted this information up but this is not the case. Quality will someday beat up quantity...

MY CHRISTMAS CARD

THE ASB CYCLONE

Last Monday at ASB we had a different schedule. Certain event that happened throughout the weekend made our next day much more interesting. The cyclone that hit the peninsula that weekend had some positive and many negative effects on Spain. Many people were injured and four youngsters died at a sports center at Sant Boi. If we talk about the American School of Bilbao the events were much less dramatical. On Monaday we had no light nor elctricity and the classes were suspended that day. It was cold in the classrooms but the real reason for our leaving was a minimum security alert. Some of the school's celling were damaged or torn apart and they had to check their conditions. Well I think for us this experience was positive because we had an extra day to rest and relax in our homes...
