The original chart is horrendous...the colors, the layout, it is all so terrible. The bike snob would not approve. I've often wondered why data can't be represented by the petals of a flower. With varying degrees of color intensity, petal size, or stamen length. In all seriousness, though difficult to see on either chart, Apple's margin of month-to-month increase has outpaced all competitors. The chart and accompanying articles totally fail to convey this information effectively which is indeed sad considering it is the basis of their findings. Wow!

I'd like to talk to the person who designed it and ask them what the heck they were thinking :) That’s a pretty hilarious chart.
