Google Music’s launch this Wednesday at a Google media event seems all but assured.
Apple Store Self-Check Out: Shopping, Perfected
There are many things I like about the Apple Store’s unorthodox approach to retailing. One I don’t: The fact that most of its locations have done away with the traditional check-out with a queue of customers and a cashier ringing …

Hey Adobe, Thanks for Seeing the (Flash) Light
Adobe’s decision to switch to HTML5 deserves plaudits, as the company’s doing something Apple probably wouldn’t.
Mobile Flash Abandoned for HTML5: Adobe Surrenders, Apple Wins?
