Et tu, U2?

By Laurie A. Duncan

It figures that all the big news would happen while I have been on hiatus. Sorry for the lack of updates, folks.
I've been dealing with a pressing family matter. My family is one of the few things that takes precedence over my Mac-addiction, my work, my writing, etc. So here's what happened while I was gone. I feel the need to recap since I'm certain all of my loyal readers don't ever go to any other Mac-related news site, ever, to get the scoop, right? :)

  • iBooks got a speed bump.
  • A non-virus made a few Mac users
    nervous. Which, of course, made a few
    anti-virus software developers ecstatic. It's much
    ado about nothing if you ask me.
  • U2 decided if you can't beat 'em, join 'em
    and partnered with the Apple and Universal Music group to release a special edition iPod.
  • Apple trumped their iPod U2 announcement by following it up with a new
    iPod Photo device. Yum.
  • Not to be confused to the Apple Store mini, Apple also unveiled their new online
    iPod store.
  • With Winter around the corner, Apple wants to be sure your iPod stays warm and toasty.
    So they announced another innovative concept:
    iPod Socks. Yes, I said socks. Buy one in every color
    so you can be sure they'll always match your belt and your handbag. I guess I don't have to carry my iPod around in
    my Pink Fluffy KrooPouch anymore.
    Although I did have my heart set on one of these iPod cozys.
  • iTunes Music Store readies launch in EU and
    Canada
  • John "the C is for Cranky" Dvorak gets it wrong, as
    usual, on Podcasting    .

My posts may be sporadic still for the next week or two, but I'll try to keep you updated as often as possible!
