A brand-new Mac, plus those five additions, becomes a usable workspace for me.

How Well Is Apple Managing The Backdating Scandal?

by Peter Burrows, BusinessWeek

Apple should have come clean about Jobs involvement earlier, rather than let it leak out in dribs and drabs — and SEC complaints.

Apple Confirms iTunes Films For Europe This Year

by Jonny Evans, Macworld UK

Apple plans to offer films for sale through iTunes before the end of the year, a senior Apple executive has claimed.

Hello, Apple? Singapore? Not even iTunes music yet...

Apple Needs To Find A Finder Replacement

by Sven Rafferty, SvenOnTech

As screens become larger and resolution independence becomes a standard, Finder will just become more and more archaic.

Is Apple Obligated To Pass On Commodity Savings?

Dot Mac Dead?

by Alan Graham, Personal Bee

I'm seriously getting fed up with the delays and obvious omissions from Apple's online strategy, and I tend to believe that if the iPhone has been responsible for delays in OS X Leopard... where are Apple .Mac/iLife priorities?

Speculation: Cheap Computers Coming From Apple

by Heng-Cheong Leong, MyAppleMenu

Christopher Brennan reads between the lines of Apple, and speculates that something cheap is coming from Apple this upcoming quarter.

Steve Jobs, Saved By The Rising Stock

by Kevin Kelleher, GigaOM

iTunes, Subscriptions, And Getting It Right

by Christopher Breen, Playlist

It's simply a matter of doing it right. Can you think of a company more qualified than Apple to take on the job?

It seems to me offering subscription service only works if the company is not that as popular as iTunes.

But, of course, never say never. :-)
