  • Just a dumb thought, but... Could all of these news stories be related to the EU version of iTMS that Jobs announced was going to be released in the Fall? Perhaps all of these countries are just going to be under that umbrella.

  • Does the word "mini" have to refer to the iPod's physical size? Why can it not be referring to the storage space alone? It would seem to be wise for Apple to keep the current hardware (with the exception of the storage medium) to save on costs acr…
  • I don't see any point in Apple releasing a system that runs Win XP. However, we'll remember that when the first PowerMacs came out, the 6100/7100/8100 had the option of getting an Intel based add-in card that allowed run Windows on your computer,…

  • 720 x 480 is the standard resolution for TV these days, I believe. I agree the TV show idea is good, but I'm not sure about the pricing. Think about a season of 24ish shows and you're talking around $125. I'm not against commercials because I…
  • In my latest ramblings I touched on the idea of Apple making an online movie service: Quote: Okay, not really a service for the iTMS, but Apple really needs to develop a good service for Movie downloads based upon the MPEG 4 standard. Maybe built …

  • Fast typing and no proof reading. As I type around 80-90 WPM, my typing will get ahead of the grammer section of my brain. But as long as the message gets across, I'm not going to complain about personal forms of communication. Running three …
  • Of course the quality of the sales person is going to vary between stores. The ASC at my local store is very good at his job (I actually applied for the position, which he got instead). He keeps the department up, computers in good working order a…

  • I wrote a commentary concerning the Apple, Best Buy marriage. You can read it here if you like, I've also copied it here: Quote: Best Buy, CompUSA & Circuit City There has been a lot of talk around the web recently about Apple and Best Bu…
  • I was told by one of the folks at the Apple Store that the iSight works just fine with Yahoo Messenger on Windows. The question is, does the iSight need more power from the line then USB provides? I can't imagine it would, but you'd never know.
