  • Are there a lot of klutzes in here or is the iPhone easy to drop? I think I've dropped my phone twice in a couple years and I have it with me most of the time.

  • I predict the 6th gen iPod will make the Zune look like a cereal box toy.
  • They added an icon scale slider in the spotlight window but not in the main Finder. I don't get that. The spotlight window also has a breadcrumb-like path. I can't figure out the inconsistency.
  • I'm not sure I understand what you mean. I hear that renaming a folder from "TEST" to "test" works as one might expect. Why, was this not possible in Tiger? Apparently, the problem is on Windows SMB shares. Now that I am home I tried changing th…
