The author of the piece is considering a company's value based upon their cash on hand. Don't let them anywhere near finances. Not to mention Apple's current Market Value: $288.95B.
Companies are often (usually?) described by the annual sales. Apple's sales were US $65 billion in the last year.
Lithium Ion Battery is actually better when you charge it when ever possible
Yep - "The battery prefers a partial rather than a full discharge. Frequent full discharges should be avoided when possible. Instead, charge the battery more often or use a larger battery." http://batteryuniversity.com/parttwo-34.htm
What functions weren't explained in the manual? Apple's manual are usually very good, the iPod's is excellent. The backlight thing with the Menu button and the turn off with the play button are clearly explained in both the printed quick start guide and the printed user's manual. The only thing they don't really explain is that the battery is going to die if you use it hard.
When iPod first appeared,/.'s spoke with 1.5 voices to declare the thing an overpriced failure.
Now,/.'s speak with.75 voice that AirPort Express is wicked cool and a must have. Therefore, Apple will sell only about 10K units and will go out of business within a year.
I think he's going to recut the whole thing into one 14 hours long "Complete" version. Another whole weekend stuck in the house.
To complete my fantasy movie series musings -
Episode III will suck even more.
Harry Potter will die. Hopefully not as a virgin.
Support literacy. Eat alphabet crackers.
As usual, my silicon is up to date but my carbon lags behind. Smart playlist do indeed update both ways. I ran a few simple tests and the "Last Played" entry in iTunes properly reflected the play from the iPod. My perception was clouded by noticing that smart playlists don't update on the iPod itself. My playlist excludes songs played in the last three days. This functions properly in iTunes but the iPod's playlist isn't dropping songs after they're played. I wish it would. I travel with the iPod and try to turn it off to preserve the battery. Turning it back on resets the random shuffle. I guess I should spring for an air power adapter. I appreciate you helpful comments.
My 2nd genration 10GB iPod doesn't seem to update smart playlists. I synch it to a playlist that excludes recently played songs. iTunes doesn't reflect "plays" on the iPod. I suppose 3rd generation iPods have some kind of interactivity?

Emphasis addeded. I suppose they do that en case the package falls into the hands of innocent children?
