New iMacs and the "cheapening" of Apple.
http://www.networkworld.com/news/2009/092509-new-imacs-and-the-cheapening.html
The big picture is Apple's continued push for lower prices, even as the company thrives on the high-end. The trend began earlier this year, when Apple slashed prices on its MacBook Pro and MacBook Air lines. That gave Cupertino some ammunition against Microsoft's "Laptop Hunter" ads, which generally claim that affordable Macs cannot be found.

Apple to AT&T: drop dead.
http://www.pcworld.com/businesscenter/article/166363/apple_to_atandt_drop_dead.html
James Coursey writes "In nearly 30 years of covering technology, I've never seen the kind of snub Apple handed to AT&T during its iPhone 3GS announcement at the WWDC keynote. Apple did everything possible, short of an on-stage denunciation, to picture its iPhone launch partner as what the carrier's customers have long considered it to be: Slow and backward."
