One Last Thing For 2007

by Heng-Cheong Leong, MyAppleMenu

If I remember my history correctly, Apple does sneak out a few small updates to its product line just before any expected large updates during the Expo or the WWDC. Which is my way of saying that Ars Technica has a rumor that Apple will have television shows on iTunes in Canada real soon now.

Why The Apple TV Failed

by Charles Jade, Ars Technica

If it isn't clear—and apparently it's not at Apple—the problem with the Apple TV is that its fate is ultimately in the hands of the content owners, not Apple.

by Aidan Malley, AppleInsider

Traveling Music Teacher Keeps Students In Tune

by Apple

In the Middle Ages traveling minstrels roamed between castles and manors, providing musical entertainment for royalty. Sarah Grenier has much in common with those performers of old: She divides her time on the road, bringing musical instruction to students at two Southern California elementary schools. Grenier leaves the mandolin and lute at home, however. Instead, her teaching instruments of choice are a MacBook computer and an iPod. Still, the caliber of education she provides is fit for all future kings and queens.
