Et tu, U2?

ipod u2

It figures that all the big news would happen while I have been on hiatus. Sorry for the lack of updates, folks. I’ve been dealing with a pressing family matter. My family is one of the few things that takes precedence over my Mac-addiction, my work, my writing, etc. So here’s what happened while I was gone. I feel the need to recap since I’m certain all of my loyal readers don’t ever go to any other Mac-related news site, ever, to get the scoop, right? :)

  • iBooks got a speed bump.
  • A non-virus made a few Mac users nervous. Which, of course, made a few anti-virus software developers ecstatic. It’s much ado about nothing if you ask me.
  • U2 decided if you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em and partnered with the Apple and Universal Music group to release a special edition iPod.
  • Apple trumped their iPod U2 announcement by following it up with a new iPod Photo device. Yum.
  • Not to be confused to the Apple Store mini, Apple also unveiled their new online iPod store.
  • With Winter around the corner, Apple wants to be sure your iPod stays warm and toasty. ipod socksSo they announced another innovative concept: iPod Socks. Yes, I said socks. Buy one in every color so you can be sure they’ll always match your belt and your handbag. I guess I don’t have to carry my iPod around in my Pink Fluffy KrooPouch anymore. Although I did have my heart set on one of these iPod cozys.
  • iTunes Music Store readies launch in EU and Canada
  • John “the C is for Cranky” Dvorak gets it wrong, as usual, on Podcasting.

My posts may be sporadic still for the next week or two, but I’ll try to keep you updated as often as possible!

Hope your family matter went well, but I have to admit to being guilty of visiting Appleinsider.com :-(
