I agree that the update cycle isn't going to be 12mo., but definitely closer to 18mo if not more like 24mo. And I think that's fine. But if they decide to do 150 new features every 12 months, then that' also OK. I'll probably just buy every other…

I actually can understand the people who want a nice, $1,000 mark Apple Mac. I used to be that guy, back in the late 90s, when it was all about building half of your computer to get the best bang for the buck. Then I embraced the all-in-one. Su…

How ironic that their best selling single for today is "1234" by Feist.... Yes, the song used for the iPod nano commercials

Yeah, iTunes has had integration with mixi, the biggest by far SNS in Japan for over a year now, too. Really, what makes this news, I do not know. Maybe AppleInsider staff isn't youth enough to know these things ;-p

I guess the fact that this SOX thing is new, and that Apple's moves this time around may have been influenced by the recent backdating debacle, what has happened in the past, for Apple or any other company, is really irrelevant. However, any en…
