Why is it that every month Apple makes a new Apple Store bigger than the other. In December we had West 14th (New York). In may we had Boston. And now we have Sydney, each store is bigger than its predecessor.

Located at 77 King Street, the three story building is expected to have about 1335 square meters of floor space. Two other Apple Stores are expected to follow: one in Melbourne, and another in Sydney.

What do the following companies have in common? Ebay, Facebook, Myspace and Microsoft (please suggest others in comments).

Answer – they've all launched an 'open' platform for developers in the hope of stimulating or rejuvenating their core business. It seems that in the web world, once a company hits a certain size/maturity level that throttles and chokes the development of new ideas, the trend is to throw out an element to the developer space in the hope that something better will come from it. But is that always necessarily the case? They could just sell stuff.

Tag 5

Wenn die Nationalmannschaft am Abend spielt, fällt das Fehlen des iPods gar nicht so sehr auf. Klar, morgens in der S-Bahn wieder auf das Handy umsteigen, um Musik zu hören. Aber ansonsten gibt es ja genug Gesprächsthemen, wenn abends das Spiel gegen Österreich ansteht.

Tag 6

Morgens Termin in der Innenstadt, danach mit dem Auto zur Arbeit. Keine Zeit, um den iPod zu vermissen. Abends dann die richtig schlechte Nachricht: Die Hauptplatine meines iPod ist kaputt, da muss eine Neue rein. Kosten: Über 120 Euro. Dafür bekomme ich natürlich auch fast einen neuen iPod. Erst mal eine Nacht darüber schlafen.

Doch kein Leih-Pod, daher erst mal weiter Handy als mp3-Player.

this is a new blog of mine. you may still visit my old blog here if you have interest: http://bathtimestories.blogspot.com/.

Mozilla on Tuesday released Firefox 3, a major update to its popular open source Web browser that's being billed as 'two to three times faster' than its predecessor.

Available immediately as a free download, the browser comes in approximately 50 languages and culminates a three-year effort on the part of thousands of developers, security experts, and testers from around the world.

I purchased the Cold Play album X & Y a few tears back from iTunes. This was back in the O L D days when DRM reigned supreme over ALL the iTunes downloads. But as we all know SOME record companies said, "to hell with DRM" and iTunes Plus was born. Sure it was a few pennies more but hey, NO DRM!

Today I see on Amazon.com's MP3 Downloads I can get the WHOLE X & Y album (I still like to call it that) for the low, low price of $1.99. That includes all 13 songs in MP3 format!

OR
I can Upgrade my already purchased album through iTunes for $2.40.......To go with Amazon I save 41 cents.

Mac sales up 50% in May.

Lehman analyst, Tim Luke, pointed out in a note today, that new data from market research firm NPD shows Mac sales up a reported 50% on a year-over-year basis in May, ahead of the 37% of the second quarter growth that they had expected.

Sales of iPods were also up 11.6% in May, about 3% less than the previous month, yet sales were still well ahead of Lehman’s projected 2% year-over-year decline.
