Apple take 49% share again

I really don’t know and understand why many people (that includes some Indians too) across the globe spread, write & talk gossip about Apple?
Are they being paid for gossiping?
Are they being praised for gossiping?
Are they taken seriously when they write or speak inaccurate news or information or knowledge?
I smile when Apple’s performance, published data in public domain, published facts in public domain and merit outperform everyone around and that’s the most accurate way of keeping above-mentioned attitude people out of the business.
Who so ever talked gossip about Apple before Christmas? I am sure facts & data will answer all their gossips.
