Apple’s new product announcements — upgraded iMacs, a somewhat upgraded .Mac online service, and a new “2008″ version of iWork and iLife — may not represent the “tipping point” that persuades new PC purchasers that they should buy a Mac instead of a PC.

More importantly, Google and Technorati and various other search engines, spider-crawlers, and Internet tracking mechanisms now know where to find my pithy comments about […]

It hardly seems relevant to post yet another commentary on the iPhone, since there are so many raves, critiques, and in-depth reviews out there already. But having now had roughly two weeks to play with my own iPhone (mine arrived in the mail on July 13th), I want to go on record as saying that […]
