Reconstructing Apple’s 2008 Earnings to Reflect iPhone Sales” [“Apple’s true 2008 financial results have been hitherto veiled under a shroud of financial secrecy that I set out to finally irrevocably uncover since Wall Street analysts apparently cannot do their jobs. Someone needs to put an end to this nonsense and if not the analysts, then it’s up to the investment community to make such determinations on their own.”]—Bullish Cross

“Larger Space Planned for NY Store: The Roosevelt Field (NY) retail store is tucked away at one end of the second floor in the huge mall, a location that Apple doesn’t prefer. Even so, the store has been doing well since it opened in July 2002. Now a much larger space has opened up in prime territory on the ground floor in the middle of the mall, where Restoration Hardware was located.”—ifo AppleStore

“Apple Launched a Forum Dedicated to iPhone Developers: After reviewing its NDA policies concerning the iPhone program and SDK, Apple made a new step in the right direction by launching a forum dedicated to developers aiming to port or release applications for the iPhone. ”—HardMac
“Best laptops for writers” [“You may have noticed that the list thus far doesn’t include any Apple products. That’s because I think the company has left some Mac fans in a tough spot: they have to either drop a huge chunk of change on the sublimely elegant but ultimately under-featured (for the price) MacBook Air or schlep around the 4.5-pound MacBook, which despite being lighter than its predecessor is still too heavy for frequent travel. I do like the MacBook, though, and would recommend it to writers whose work rarely takes them beyond the coffee shop down the street.”]—CNET
“Mystical Macworld Musings: With what are likely all of Apple’s Fall product announcements out of the way, the stage is set for Macworld. As usual, it’s anyone’s guess as to what the show’s big kicker will be, and Ted Landau has three. A hobby may become a profession, a runt could finally get some big attention, and a much-discussed possibility just might finally become a reality.“—MacNewsWorld
