Dave Winer says he is not happy with Leopard:
Talking with a friend a few days ago, he asked what I thought of Leopard. He had installed the new version, like me, the first day it came […]

If Apple thought that they could design a system that would keep hackers out of their phones or operating systems, they were quite wrong.
According to various reports today, a number of hackers have already gotten Leopard to run on their “Hackintoshes.”
When OS X was first released for the Intel hardware, it took the community quite […]

A teacher in New York is using songs and iPods to teach students English. Fair use/educational use, or a potential lawsuit? Did she buy those songs? Did she buy them 60 times? 300 times? Once? Bittorrent?

Looks like today’s 1.1.1 release of the iPhone firmware is creating a mess for both unlocked and regular iPhones.

We all knew it would just be a matter of time, but these guys from the iPhone Dev Team (they don’t want to be linked to, so this is a link to Engadget instead) have really outdone themselves by unlocking the iPhone in just 74 days.

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:

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 […]

It didn’t take the enterprising Apple hacking community too long to start hacking the iPhone. After only three days, a computer science student, Erik Twes, from Darmstadt, Germany, ran a rather simple hacker tool against the publicly available restore image for the iPhone. I guess it is a sign of globalization when hackers with no access […]
