News Alert: Steve Jobs is Speaking!
Good friends – senior execs in the field of corporate communications – tell me of getting calls from executive search recruiters who are trying to fill senior level PR positions at Dell Computer in Austin, Texas.

More About the New MacBooks
Jason Snell, editorial director of MacWorld Magazine, provides perhaps the best detailed look at the new Apple MacBook laptops.

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.

Apple Wins on Campus
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 [...]
iPhone Service: Here & There
Apple has taken a lot of flack in recent weeks over its simultaneous debut of the iPhone 3G-new iPhone software-MobileMe-iPhone Apps store. There is no question it was ambitious … but Apple is the kind of customer-focused company that will get any problems all resolved and make everyone happy.
My issue is not with Apple [...]
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 [...]
