So Apple has less than 10% in the only country that actually buy those

Net Applications = United States, referrals only (not real traffic), secret
list of sites in the sample.
Net Applications admits to skewed statistics
,----[ Quote ]
| In an article at "The Industry Standard", Net Applications apparently admit
| that their numbers are skewed. More specifically, they admit that they are
| skewed towards certain regions of the world (US-centric, anyone?). In such an
| amazing moment of honesty, I wonder why they didn't also admit to actively
| editing their own statistics.

Net Applications = a lie so big it makes Goebbels shy.
