Apple suffers in economic downturn
,----[ Quote ]
| THE US PRESS seem deeply shocked that even Jobs' Mob is feeling the pinch in
| the economic downturn.
|
| A recent article by the Wall Street Journal said that even Apple is beginning
| to suffer in this year's dismal holiday season, as if it expected the outfit
| to be immune to the woes of the economy.

Apple Owes Me $99
,----[ Quote ]
| Second, I have to run the Time Machine backups by hand and I also have to
| connect by wire for big ones, because the default setup leaves my BlackBook
| in an endless “Preparing Backup” cycle. So I went and bought another WiFi
| router for $99, and now at least we can both be on the Net. I’d advise
| caution with the Time Capsule product until Apple’s done a couple more
| releases of the hardware and OS X too. Pfui.

Apple's iPhone 3G troubles spawn a lawsuit
,----[ Quote ]
| It was only a matter of time.
|
| With all the griping going on by a subset of iPhone 3G users, it was
| inevitable that someone would seek redress through the law. The first someone
| was Jessica Alena Smith, a Birmingham resident who filed her complaint this
| week in U.S. District Court in Alabama.

| hours I've been unable to update my iPod Touch because the Apple iTunes
| Store's servers are overwhelmed.
