POPSAPPLE GENIUS WORTH 8.4 BILLION: Guardian.co.uk's charles ARTHUR
The author puts a keen focus on how we gave Apple enough information to make 8.4 billion seem fair. Extremely sharp and incisive. I learned a lot. I think Mr. Arthur is a bit too quick to be interpreting Steve's algorithm at this point. I find that the program is genius in large part because while Steve Jobs and Apple™ know the tempo of every song to a frightening accuracy. Five seconds of silent thought will tell you the reasons Mr. Jobs will not fill in a BPM (beats per minute) column. To truly understand the tempo manipulation: you;d need to see the algorithm itself! So said, knowing the speeds of the songs I play on drums (it's the drums or the treadmill - I'm doing the exercise thing), I find the program to be almost wildly genius. What's wildly evil os that 1) Apple knows but will not divulge BPM; 2) Apple uses the tempo element of you collection on playlists made for you that are so good that when I play I do not even look at what is coming next as iy has all been so

POPSiPhone Firmware 2.2 Beta - New Features Revealed "Most surprising is that fact that background push notification is absent in beta 1 builds. The feature was promised for September but was pushed back according to an email purportedly from Steve Jobs that said: “We want to get it 100% right the first time.” Even worse. No copy and paste."

POPSShame on Apple - This is Censorship Plane and Simple I'm very surprised at this action by Apple. I know they want to have approval over what gets added to it's App Store, but banning content because they feel it's too obscene or graphic is absolutely censorship. A company like Apple that prides itself on "thinking different" should absolutely not be deciding what content is and is not appropriate for its users. I can't stand it when corporate America decides it's in the best position to determine what is and is not appropriate for people. If Apple is worried about kids accessing this content, what happened to the role of the parent? It should be a parent's job to determine what content their children access. Apple should not feel it needs to do this. I'm a HUGE Apple fan and am a big proponent and user of its products. However, this action will seriously lead me to reconsider my perspective and stop using and promoting Apple products.

POPS$999.99 "I Am Rich" iPhone App Not A Joke I just checked the App Store and this app, which was released yesterday, is still live/available. Some see this as evidence that Apple is shirking its duty to select only useful, best-in-class apps for the App Store. But there probably is a market for witty, way-overpriced apps like this. And each time someone buys "I Am Rich," Apple will collect $300.
