I’ll admit, found the announcements of 4 new iPods at Apple’s “The Beat Goes On” event confusing.  So many price points and capacity differences…

Looking on Apple’s site, I count 36 different styles on the ”Identifying iPod models” chart.  Who knew Apple had released so many iPod models over the past 6 years? 

We’ve come a long way from “iPod (5 GB scroll wheel)!”

I’ve often predicted that Google will buy Apple in the near future.  As of today, my prediction has changed.

A bit of quick math has shown me that Apple’s stock has surpassed a price of $138 with 869,640,000 shares reflecting a market capitalization of 120 billion. Meanwhile, Google’s 312,140,000 shares were valued at $515 totalling a market cap of $160 billion.

As of today, it looks more like a merger. 

Apple is selling refurbished iPhones online at the Apple Store for the first time.

Both the 4GB and 8GB models are available at $100 off their normal price- would you snap one up for $399 or $499?

When you reload a Web page in Safari 3 (by clicking the Reload icon or by pressing Command-R in Mac OS X or Ctrl-R in Safari Beta 3.x for Windows), cache files are bypassed. You don’t need to hold Shift or any other modifier keys. What a breath of fresh air!
