6 Jul 2005The continuing sad tale of Apple’s attempt to integrate podcasts into iTunes continues — Geek News Central has more.
I think that my desire for a Powerbook is decreasing the more I hear about Apple’s general stupidity regarding Web 2.0. It will take a long time for Apple to get their credibility back.
