SQ's me

Thank goodness we all have 600 bucks lying around to spend on a pile of soon-to-be-dumped HP products within 24 hours of receiving a super deal like this one.  Thanks a bunch, guys!

DC’s hometown boys make good.

Who carves an Apple symbol into their head when most kids would probably prefer a mohawk? This kid. I love this story.

It surprises me that no one has talked at all about Tim Cook joining Apple’s board at the same time he’s stepping into the CEO role.  This has been speculated since Eric Schmidt vacated his seat in August 2009 (see http://online.wsj.com/article/SB125019983643730309.html).  One can only infer that this succession plan has been in place for at least [...]

We’re posting this as a warning to anyone expecting to just drop in to an Apple Store and grab a new iPhone.  If you haven’t already figured it out, iPhone 4 is going to be the biggest selling phone in history and even Apple didn’t anticipate the months and months of catch-up they’ll be doing [...]

“Prospective buyers in both the US and the UK — at minimum — found themselves unable to order the next must-have Jobsian device due to server overload, either in Cupertino, at the carrier level, or both.” I don’t know anyone who got through, unless they used the brand new Apple Store app made available yesterday.
