Just About The Perfect Laptop
Apple introduced new updates today in its highly successful line of Macbook and Macbook Pro computers, and the improvements are authentically outstanding. What Apple has done is to make the world’s best laptops better than anything else on the market.

Apple PowerBook G4 Musings
Apple’s core problem (pun intended) is that the company designs and builds such outstanding and high quality computers. Other companies should have such problems.

At a time when Dell continues to define an old style of technology by announcing it would get into the online music business … trailing nearly everyone from Apple to Wal-mart … it seems as if Apple increases its rule on many college campuses.
Today’s New York Times has a terrific story about how Freed-Hardeman University [...]
Journalistic Quality: International Herald Tribune
While vacationing in a remote valley of the Swiss Alps, I still want to keep up on news of the world between hiking through forests and enjoying outstanding food. And, I have been reminded of how fabulous the International Herald Tribune is as a newspaper that covers world and U.S. news. I think it [...]
Significance of Apple’s Bold Leadership
As you know from reading this blog, I often use Apple as an example of savvy corporate leadership, not only in America but globally. Apple defines vision and achieves success better than anyone else, in my opinion. The company also designs the best quality computers and devices for communications in today’s world, a [...]
iPhone Update + Two Weeks: Poor Crisis Communications
It’s now been two weeks since Apple debuted the new iPhone 3G and made available version 2 of iPhone software for owners of previous iPhones. Even though I am an Apple enthusiast, the new version of iPhone software has ranged from problematic to aggravating to a disaster.
