Stolen from AppleInsider:
A recently published Apple info document is titled “How to pick up and carry your iMac G5.”
“Don’t know how to pick up and carry your iMac G5? It’s easy,” the document says. “Before moving your computer, make sure all cables and cords are disconnected.”

Apple Australia is asking $2700.

Microsoft has announced the opening of the MSN Music Store, the iTunes Music Store killer. I had to visit the site to check it out.

I sat down with headphones on and listened to some unfinished tracks today. Given the time, I do believe it’s possible that I’ll finish a couple of them this month.
