Each topic features blog posts from many of the best blogs out there to help you discover what’s going on. The posts are refreshed frequently to reflect breaking news, new opinions, and the latest from the […]

Looks like digg.com is down right now. Might there finally be a picture section in our (very near) future?
Update: Nah - it’s back up and nothing interesting happened.

I see a lot of people are citing a study by Compete.com that purports to give us some data about what prices people are willing to pay for an iPhone.
Adario Strange on the Wired blog concludes the following from those numbers:
-8 percent of consumers would be willing to pay for the iPhone at its original price […]

Just read this piece by Scott Mortiz on TheStreet.com:
Last week’s price cut decision was so abrupt that Apple’s exclusive wireless partner, AT&T (T - Cramer’s Take - Stockpickr - Rating), learned of the changes during Job’s speech, say sources.
I am surprised by the fact that Mortiz is surprised. That’s exactly how Apple treats all the […]

I am sure the recent price cut has helped Apple reach this milestone a day or two faster, but Apple has announced that it sold its one millionth iPhone in 74 days since its introduction on June 29th.
“One million iPhones in 74 days—it took almost two years to achieve this milestone with iPod,” said Steve […]

Remember how there was a rumor about Apple offering digital or satellite radio with the option to buy the song online later just a few days ago?
Looks like things for this are actually coming together - though in a somewhat twisted form. From Reuters via eWeek (notice the weird anachronism in the first paragraph):
Apple, iBiquity […]

While Jason Calacanis’ digg-clone at netscape.com was an interesting experiment, it never attracted a lot of users. Today, AOL announced that it will revert the site to being a pretty standard portal site - the kind we all used in the mid-nineties.
Adario Strange at Wired has two ideas about what this can mean:
1) the first […]

An open letter from Steve Jobs:
Therefore, we have decided to offer every iPhone customer who purchased an iPhone from either Apple or AT&T, and who is not receiving a rebate or any other consideration, a $100 store credit towards the purchase of any product at an Apple Retail Store or the Apple Online Store. Details […]

According to the Associated Press, it did:
The Justice Department on Thursday said Internet service providers should be allowed to charge a fee for priority Web traffic.
The agency told the Federal Communications Commission, which is reviewing high-speed Internet practices, that it is opposed to “Net neutrality,” the principle that all Internet sites should be equally accessible […]

Some people have been waiting quite impatiently for the release of iTunes 7.4, which adds support for the new line-up of iPods released yesterday.
I just went ahead and installed it. However, on my Vista machine, the installer complained about the fact that the Windows Explorer was running. I had to go into the task manager, […]

Google Reader Gets an Update Too
September 5, 2007 | 2 Comments
After all the Apple announcements today, Google must have felt envious and hence updated the Google Reader.
A search function now graces the screen, with an option to only search in specific folders.
Nice little update, though I am not sure I will use it much.
Here is the real kicker, though. Instead of the nice, reassuring number […]

While I can see the rationale behind the following statement, something tells me that it will rub a lot of people the wrong way. From a interview with USA Today:
Q: What do you say to customers who just bought a new iPhone for $599? Sorry?
A: That’s technology. If they bought it this morning, […]

Those of us in the podcasting community must feel a little bit left out now that Apple is about to release a wifi version of the iPod and the iTunes store, yet there doesn’t seem to be a way to download podcasts onto the iPod Touch directly.
If this holds true once the final product […]
