“What’s killing Apple’s Time Capsules after 18 months? It’s meant to be a wireless storage device – but for hundreds of buyers it’s turned into an expensive plastic brick about 18 months after purchase (updated)”—The Guardian
“Does Apple Really Build What You Want: When the Cube first came out in 2000, I got one to evaluate for a major online tech site. As I took it out of the box and hooked it up, my wife waxed enthusiastic over the sexy industrial design. When I wrote up my review, I remarked, quoting a line from an Indiana Jones movie, that it ‘belongs in a museum’.”—The Tech Night Owl
“iMac Upgraded to SSD: I decided that, since I had a Drobo sitting next to me, I didn’t need much internal storage, but given how much work I do on the machine every day, I wanted something fast. So the decision to use an SSD was a no brainer, specifically a 120GB OCZ Summit drive.”—ThatSiebGuy
“The Price is Wrong: 13 Overpriced iPhone Apps”—Wired
“Apple’s small-minded strategy: Among its few improvements, the latest update to iTunes (version 9.0.2) lets the handful of users running Apple TV 3.0 connect their iTunes library with their set top box.

Apple has screwed some of its iTunes users.”—TG Daily
“No Mac OS X for Atom based netbooks is a big mistake: Rumors are traveling over the net that Apple will kill support on Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.2 for Atom processors found on netbooks that have made possible a hackintosh installation, something that will shut down a growing trend of buying cheap Dell Mini 10v netbooks and install Mac OS X on them.”—Desinformado
