Simplest WWDC predictions ever

Apple will open its annual developer show, WWDC, next week, and while the notion of a developer show being interesting is, of course, hard to believe, I would remind everyone that Apple now participates in exactly two major shows a year.

Apple is STILL lying about closed captioning in Ratatouille

Last month, I pointed out Apple's surreal use of the movie "Ratatouille" as an example of Closed Captioning support in iTunes during the teve Jobs keynote. It's surreal because Ratatouille, wasn't--and still isn't--available in a version with closed captioning from the iTunes...
