      Apple's iPhone 'Hype' Overhyped
      This guy can't even get basic facts right. Apple has no Times Square store. There's no Apple Store anywhere near Times Square.

      2008 Macworld Predictions: Gaming the Odds
      To say that AppleTV's audio and video quality is a disappointment is to fail to understand the actual issues.

      AppleTV can handle full HD video with digital surround sound using Dolby Digital or DTS. That's as high quality as an HD broadcast or Blu-Ray. The problem isn't what AppleTV can handle, but that most of what people view on it comes from the iTunes store, which uses less than standard definition resolution and only stereo sound.

      Apple could upgrade the quality of the video offerings from iTunes and have HD content with surround sound immediately available to existing AppleTV owners without having to do a thing to the hardware, or even updating the software.

      Apple’s $100 Million Apology A Win-Win
      Also remember that the $100 million is a rebate, being deducted from the revenue from the iPhone, which is being accounted for over 24 months. This doesn't take $100 million from the current quarter, it takes $12.5 million from each of the next 8 quarters and moves it into retail revenues for the current quarter. And since it's store credit, even if there really are 1 million people eligible for the rebate (there probably aren't) and every single one claims the rebate (they probably won't), Apple's retail margins are high enough that $100 million worth of retail priced merchandise at the Apple stores doesn't cost Apple $100 million -- and it gets the consumers back in the door of the Apple Store...
