MacMinute closes
MacMinute was one of my favorite Mac news sites, so it was with some sadness that I saw that its founder, Stan Flack, died back in April. The site has been quiet for a while, and now Flack's family has announced that they have decided to shut down the venerable Mac news site after serious efforts to keep it going fell through.Flack founded MacMinute back in 2001 not long after selling his original Mac news site MacCentral to Macworld in 1999. It is with respect that we at TUAW note the passing of this pioneer of the Mac web and add our condolences to many others out there among the community of Mac centered sites.
Apple spending like drunken sailor
Apple plans to increase capital spending this year by $280 million dollars. The new campus that they are building certainly is a large factor in the increase, but they are also going to be spending a chunk of change on retail (hey, when are you opening a Philadelphia store, Apple?) as well as replacing equipment and what have you.Apple previously estimated that it would spend $420 million on capital this year, but now thinks $700 million should fit the bill.[via Macminute]
