After the raging blog activity surrounding the launch of iPhone OS 3.0 and the new iPhone 3GS, the Apple-focused blogosphere has finally slowed down to catch its collective breath. Still, there's plenty to talk about, like Michael Jackson music sales going through the roof on iTunes, CEO Steve Jobs returning to Apple's Cupertino campus and the Mac mini's relatively high build cost.Chris Maxcer2009-07-02T04:00:00-07:00iTunes Store

"Michael Jackson is likely make more money in death than he ever did in life -- the Elvis effect," writes Cult of Mac blogger Leander Kahney.

Apple shares closed at $142.43 at close of trading Tuesday, 46 cents up from the previous day's close.

Apple shares closed at $142.43 at close of trading Tuesday, 46 cents up from the previous day's close. They were actually down from Monday's open of just under $144. Shares did climb a bit last month on news that Jobs had received a liver transplant. However, it may also be telling to look back to January, the time at which Jobs announced his planned absence.

http://www.macnewsworld.com/rsstory/67461.html
As most iPhone owners already know, the iPhone rocks. More importantly, what makes it come alive isn't so much the svelte touchscreen form factor but the software. The great thing about the iPhone is Apple's dedication to improving it, and Apple's third major version of its iPhone operating system is definitely an improvement.Chris Maxcer2009-06-30T04:00:00-07:00Reviews

The great thing about the iPhone is Apple's dedication to improving it, and Apple's third major version of its iPhone operating system is definitely an improvement. Like millions of other iPhone owners, I downloaded and installed it almost immediately -- though I did it later in the day, so I didn't run into any of the traffic jams that slowed Apple's servers.

What else could happen to disillusion the owner of a shiny new 3GS? Try having it catch fire.

Apple doesn't talk much publicly, but when it does, it's usually bragging about its awesome products or some special milestone it's achieved. Monday was no different: Apple announced that it had sold more than 1 million iPhone 3G S models over its launch weekend.
