Higher prices are coming to Apple’s industry leading digital download store a week later than originally planned. Still, at least one analyst thinks the music labels’ price hike will incite consumer ire in the same way bailout banker bonuses have. There’s no good way to spin a price hike in times like these.
A somewhat puzzling return clause in the Apple developer agreement for the App Store could make life difficult for developers, depending on Apple’s implementation of the wording.
Whether or not Benjamin Disraeli actually said the words doesn’t particularly matter as their truth still echoes well over one hundred years later – “There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics.”

One regional Web site within the giant cellular provider China Unicom has posted a list of phones supported by their new 3G network. The iPhone is on that list, along with the Google Android G1.
Whether or not Safari is the ‘world’s best’ or ‘fastest’ browser can be argued about ad infinitum by partisans. However, Apple’s default browser has at least one feature that no other has, Top Sites, and here’s a quick and dirty “how to” on using and managing this feature.
Apple has been struck by fraud once again, this time by a Michigan iPod repairman who ripped the manufacturer off to the tune of 9,000 iPod Shuffle media players.
The consumerization of IT has lead to more Macs than ever in corporate work environments. Unsurprisingly, tech support staff is complaining that OS X users, though relatively few in number, account for a disproportionate and growing share of support issues.
