More Apple-related Stuff

A few more Apple related tid-bits:

1) According to AppleInsider.com, "Apple's claims that its new iMac G5 computer is the worlds thinnest desktop computer, but it may also be the most user-serviceable." Based on the images that are available on the web of the iMac G5's guts, I'd have to agree.

2) There's the whole deal surrounding the launch of Microsoft's music store. It seems like the current incarnation of the store is generally inferior to Apple's, but Microsoft's MO is to start off with a crappy product and then gradually improve it until it can compete with the other major options. The question here is whether Apple can continue to improve the iPod and iTMS so that Microsoft never gets ahead. That's a tall order but Apple may be able to pull it off.
