AppleInsider jumps the shark, declares Zune HD 'failed'

While I wait for what I just know will be hugely positive reviews of the Zune HD from Walter Mossberg and David Pogue (after all, these guys treat Apple product launches like just-discovered new books of the Bible), I can at least point to some of the crazy silliness coming out of the Apple fan base...

Apple offers up evolutionary iPod updates, Jobs at music event

Today’s 9/9/9 Apple event was surprisingly light on surprises. Steve Jobs returned to the stage after almost a year’s absence and got a nice standing ovation. But Apple’s announcements were mostly lukewarm, and had been telegraphed weeks in advance. Among the key announcements are: Big numbers. Apple...

iPod touch 3G and iPod nano 5G revealed

It’s been a tough couple of weeks for Apple. First the Snow Leopard debacle, and now the 9/9/9 event has been ruined: An iPod case maker has inadvertently revealed two of the devices Apple will debut today, the iPod touch 3G and the iPod nano 5G. (According to CNET , anyway.) Here they are. iPod touch...

The 'blame anyone but Apple cadre,' Part 217: AT&T

So AT&T is finally adding MMS support to the iPhone 3G/3GS on September 25, about two months after Apple first announced the feature and other international wireless carriers provided it. Yep, AT&T sucks. And I should know, I've been using this horrible network, first in "EDGE"...

Apple's culture of lies, Part 2: A different way of looking at it

One thing I've often thought with Apple is how much worse off the PC industry would be if they were ever dominant, because they're such a belligerent company. But a more level-headed way to view Apple's recent push-backs from the top of the heap is that they're suffering from exactly...

Apple's culture of lies finally dawns on a surprisingly unsuspecting world

When it comes to my relationship, such as it is, with Apple, there's one thing that always gets in the way: Apple's culture of lies. The company is pathological about misrepresenting the truth. It's like they can't help it. This week, Apple bald-facedly lied to the FCC , in what is probably...

Apple to ship Snow Leopard this week

In a weird last-minute announcement, Apple announced this morning that it will ship its $29 Mac OS X service pack, called "Snow Leopard," on Friday. Apple today announced that Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard will go on sale Friday, August 28 at Apple’s retail stores and Apple Authorized Resellers...

Apple's growing slice of the music business – in pie charts

Some good info from Fortune (and NPD): The NPD Group on Tuesday issued what at first appears to be a pair of contradictory facts: Apple now controls the largest share of the music business, its iTunes Store accounting for 25% of unit sales in the first half of 2009, up from 14% in 2007. Compact discs...

Microsoft's Zune continues to struggle

I think we all realize the Zune isn't exactly setting the world on fire. But in these days leading up to the release of the Zune HD, things have apparently gotten worse than ever . To be sure, the Zune provides a tiny, and apparently deteriorating portion of Microsoft's business. Revenue for...
