Apple Quietly Releases….Nothing
In: Default|Noteworthy
28 Sep 2006I’m sick of it. Google search for “Apple Quietly”: Approximately 93,000 search results. Folks, this has got to stop. What constitutes a quiet release of anything?

Podcast War With Apple? Let’s Wait
In: Default|Noteworthy
25 Sep 2006As many of you already know, Apple has sent out cease and desist letters to a couple of websites, claiming misuse of the word “pod”. These sites are “Podcast Ready” and “myPodder”. I’ve went on the record saying that this move by Apple is a mistake and they should quit alienating the podcast community. After [...]
