   Are the reasons why these flopped commonly known? ‘Cos I would’ve liked some elaboration on that front.

   I don’t know if the reasons are commonly known, but the Wired articles lists them.

   It’s the Mac’s 24th birthday, not Apple’s. Apple has been around a bit longer (since 1977, I think).

   You are right, Jon. Thanks! I’ll get that fixed.

   Puts on Black Turtleneck shirt and gives a rousing golf clap to Apple.

   Finally! As someone who has grown very weary of all the jean-creaming over the iPhone and iPod (plus the Mac snobs who insist that OS is infallible), it’s good to get a reminder that not everything Apple touches always turns to gold.

   i work in software. i think its funny that they are starting to go the same way as the complaints that people have about microsoft. its not as big of news, but there are people that are reverting back to the previous OS from Leopard. hahah..

   i am curious about how their itunes box is going to fair. it seems like they are now trying to catch up to tthe market that microsoft’s media player already owns. i love my computer remote control. the itunes movie thing isnt really that new. all the major studios had previously set up movielink.com for renting and purchasing downloads. the big up that movielink has over the itunes plan is that they do offer same day as dvd release of the download for new releases. nice.. itunes is gonna make you wait a month after dvd release .

   I used to love the hockeypuck mouse. You had to move it with your fingertips, not with your hand. Many people didn’t get that.

    the first snag in apples plan has been discovered. apparently, you will need to buy a new iPod first:

    Apple’s “Rented” Movies Can’t Be Viewed on Most Video iPods
    Apple has begun receiving numerous complaints that movies that were recently made available for rent on its iTunes store can not be viewed on iPods that were purchased before September 2007. Many complained that Apple posted no notice of the limitation when the movie rentals became available and that they did not learn of the restriction until after they had rented a movie. Apple did not immediately respond to the complaints.
