Who else's fault could it be?

I rather suspect they wouldn't have done had it not been for that stroke of genius - the iPod. I believe that's where the majority of their income is from these days, rather than computer sales.

Sony's? I'm sure that Jon would somehow manage to make it Sony's fault

He's quite creative that way — but I notice he keeps buying PRS's.

Sony did not have to release this new DRM scheme until it was ready for the real world. But then, Fox did not have to realse DVDs using it as well. So I would have to say it's the fault of both Fox and Sony,

Hi, Harry,

Actually, most numbers I've seen have the laptops providing "52% of its revenue growth in the company's most recent quarter"*, not to mention that their market share is growing faster than PCs (granted, from a much smaller percentage).

And re: the bricking:

Apparently, the new update has been 'unlocked' so to speak - including, apparently, going so far as to unbrick previously bricked (due to the unlocking) iPhones. See the blog posts on TUAW and others for the specifics.

I'm a bit surprised it took so long.

It's been a bit harder to achieve this time with Apple encrypting even more stuff.
