Yeah, he won a Nobel when he was 31. He's only unsung among the under-read.

Not really - TFA leaves out iTunes Match - which appears to be an incredible service.

A friend's uncle gave some very abrupt advice which has stuck with me. "There are people who figure out ways to save money and there are people who figure out ways to make more money."

I enjoy my share of the new agey, platitude filled narratives that 37signals has been pushing out lately. But this one seems to have been written to push as many HN audience buttons as it possibly can. Sigh...

I am amused by this general punditry about a dual OS/dual hardware strategy. Yeah, that has just about worked out for everyone who has tried it.

I think a $299 point is more likely - which is what the current 3GS iPod Touch is priced at.
