Have a moment to (finally) update my blog while waiting for the next session, so thought I’d post a short one. You’ve mostly likely heard about the latest Apple news and announcements, so I’ll spare the details. Suffice to say, looks like SGI and Sun Microsystems are in trouble. With the latest [...]

I didn’t write much because I’m simultaneously watching the iTunes Music Store Launch for Europe. Jobs is a [...]
