You keep track of supposed statistics but you can't even remember where you've seen them? You DO understand how this might make anyone skeptical of your statements. I've been pretty good about making sure I put links to things whenever I state statistics or facts--US tech blogs and other sources. (You'll note that there is more out there that we've been citing than US tech blogs, right?) I'm sure you can point out where you're reading your so-called facts to help us believe you better--because so far you're not convincing anyone. Try citing some facts! It'll improve your skills of communication and your credibility. Case in point. Please explain how ANY of that is true. Meanwhile... Elsewhere... somebody's eating Nokia's lunch...
