Me too. Its so nice to see people actually supporting the websites they frequent.

It's a great business concept for Apple - until the bubble collapses and people no longer want to be locked in.
We're seeing the future, folks.
In any case, though, Apple sells a great deal more iOS devices than Macs.
Unfortunately you cannot collect info on the latter 3 in any way.How many where hacked/themed (just curious)?
How many of those users where roaming?
How many of the users continually used their mobile more than the PC over a 30/60/90/120 day period (trending)?
Remember that iOS is only seeing HALF of the internet; and it can never be successful because it doesn't have FLASH.
(sorry, I had to say it.)
This couldn't be more incorrect. Flash is dying, and it's dying fast. Even Google, known for making their operating system 'open' isn't going to support flash on future versions. Even Adobe has acknowledged that flash is giving way to HTML 5. Flash is slow, insecure, and not as compatible with mobile browsers. Very soon flash will be gone all together.
It did. Its the 'Other 84%' that remained perfectly static throughout the entire graph. Thats kind of what highlights a problem. If Apple's devices are beating the market average - their share should increase. But its failed to grow at all. iOS has increased, but it has come effectively purely at the cost of Mac OS.
Uh, yes. The job of the useragent is to send basic information of the machine itself. Two things always present is operating system (and version) along with the browser (and version).Does the browser accurately indicate the OS despite the browser used?

I cannot imagine any reason why anyone wouldn't have an adblocker.
If everyone had an ad-blocker the internet couldn't operate as it does now. Using an ad-blocker for every site is essentially the same as piracy.
You don't think "piracy" is a little strong?
You're saying that if I don't have to have ads all over my pages, that I'm stealing something?
If so, I'm surprised that places like Google and other web sites wouldn't raise a stink about adblock apps. Safari Extension AdBlock would then be a way to steal?
I'm not being facetious. I am considering your point. But I do think that blocking the clutter of ads doesn't quite represent piracy.
It is an interesting point that you make. To be honest, I'm not ready to dump AdBlock, however.
Well, when you think about it, if you're using a service or a product without paying the "price" (in this case, viewing the ads) then that's stealing, really. I agree with you on the point that the word piracy may seem a little strong for blocking ads, however the word piracy also seems a little strong for downloading a YouTube video.
This will end in either a few ways:
1) Ad-blockers won't take off, so websites will continue as they do now; displaying ads for revenue but taking a hit in their pocket from those using ad-blockers.
2) Websites will find a way of detecting ad-blockers, so they can deny access to those using them. In fact, some websites have gone as far as denying access to all FireFox users back when FireFox had the only popular ad blocking extension.
3) Websites will have to change their business model because ads won't pay the bills. So have fun paying $$$ to view almost every website you visit
