As some of you know, my wife met Apple Computer co-founder Steve Wozniak back in April.

When MP3 players started appearing on the market, I looked at many and didn’t find one that met all the requirements I had in mind. If Apple made one, I knew they would do it right. It’s been 3 years since the introduction of the Apple iPod and if you’ve got one, you know how [...]

It’s a ‘beautiful day’ for Apple and U2 junkies! Today Apple released the U2 Special Edition iPod. Americans can check it out here. Apple also announced that the iTunes Music Store will be open for business to Canadians in November and that a version for European Union members launches today. If you’re not a U2 [...]

The new U2 song ‘Vertigo’ from the upcoming album ‘How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb’ can be heard (or seen) here. If you’ve got iTunes for your Mac or PC, you’ll be able to watch a 2-minute video of the song – in the iTunes/iPod style of things. Also, if you live the US or [...]
