OPINION: It really doesn't matter what Steve Jobs reveals in June
Because every Apple fan and gadget fashionista will automatically buy it anyway. As long as it’s sleek and expensive enough to brag about on the internet.
Even if Mr Jobs pulls a solar-powered calculator (iAddsUP) out of his shirt pocket and announces it goes on sale – tomorrow! – for a mere $699 for the 8-digit screened version and $799 for the 10-digit screened model, it’ll be a smash.
Apple fans will now buy anything from Apple. Not only that, but Apple’s become some sort of global fashion icon. People just have to have its new stuff, regardless of if it actually…

How do you like them apples, Apple?
After bravely turning its back on Apple’s iTunes thanks to rows over money and royalties and charges and the like, American telly juggernaut NBC has started releasing its shows via the… Zune shop. What’s the Zune shop called? Anyone have a clue? MicroStore? ZuneTunes?

Digital Summer Special: High-tech audio systems
Several of the companies exhibiting at Digital Summer had some interesting audio technology on show.
There’s been plenty of talk about creating virtual surround sound from a pair of stereo speakers, but not so much (that I’ve heard of) about creating a wide stereo sound space from one speaker unit. Audio Pro, Geneva, and Orbitsound are all pushing technology that does just that. It sounds great, too.
