Everyone who knows anything about computers knows that Apple computers will always be more expensive than their PC counterparts. According to Microsoft and as well as many individuals, the “Apple Tax” is wasted money on nothing more than some cute little fruit logo afixed somewhere on your machine. For others it is a sign of “coolness”, youth, and individuality. One thing is for sure, Apple who was expected to weather the econmoic storm is mortal just like everyone else. So much so that even they lost market share year-to-year between last year and this year. But how how much? And is Apple really suited for marketing products that could propel them to the majority of the worlds, or at least U.S. anyway, market share charts? Heck, do they even want to be market leaders?

The World Wide Web is quickly becoming the one stop shop if you will for everything in our lives. Everything from cooking classes, to how-to mechanic videos, to live concerts.

All of the new found love in video over broadband connections is making broadband providers sweat. Why? Are tiered plans really all they’re cracked up to be?

Apple’s Push notifications while grossly past due from their original due date of last year, were at least delayed for good reason. At the iPhone OS 3.0 preview, Apple stated the delay was because of “developers suggesting ideas and methods of implementing the push service that they had never thought of”, which in return required a complete re-write of the service, hence the massive delay. But the real question is why does Apple refuse to bring by far the most requested and undoubtedly most important feature, background processes, to the iPhone platform?

When you hear the words “auto industry” in this day and age, it is hard to think of a properous and youthful market. One that is expanding and on the leading edge of automotive technology. However, we all know that the U.S. auto industry is anything but “leading edge” or prosperous. Unfortunately, they aren’t the only market to start feeling the pinch of not only economic times, but also the technological times as technology and digitized goods become more and more a part of our daily lives. So what area of the market has been thrust into the spotlight claiming to be in the most dire need of help and a solution…the newspaper industry…

Do you cherish the internet? See it as the portal to the world? Do you download gigs of data everyday? Every week? Every month? Are you downloads pirated content or legitimate stuff? The RIAA or “the almighty satan” as known by most never really gave up on tracking down individuals. No, instead they went behind the scenes and started coaxing ISP’s to become their new roommates. Why waste time and money suing a single person when you can have someone else waste their time and and money while you sit back and simply collect the lawsuit winnings when everything is said and done?
