We designed Apple Remote Desktop 3 to take advantage of the innovations we introduced in Mac OS X Tiger.

But French legislators aren't just looking at Apple. They're looking ahead to a time when most entertainment is online, a shift with profound consequences for consumers and culture in general. French lawmakers want to protect the consumer from one or two companies holding the keys to all of its culture, just as Microsoft holds the keys to today's desktop computers... Apple may not qualify as a literal monopoly -- there are lots of ways to get music and buying online accounts for only a small fraction of total music sales. But the sliver it does control it controls almost completely, and it's not out of the question to suggest that this sliver will ultimately become the only way people will buy music in the future.

But all husbands are geese, though our pride it may shock, From the first 'twas ordained so by Nature I fear; Ould Adam himself was the first of the flock, And Eve, with her apple sauce, cooked him, my dear

Basically the market is responding to the latest earnings reports and waiting to see what happens with Apple Computer after the bell.

Because of the first worm, too many people were suddenly starting to think about and investigate the possibility of writing a Mac OS X worm. Publishing the exploit as fast as possible is the best for all Apple users. I think at the end of the week, every Apple user will know about it.

More than ever, Apple can make a difference in any organization, including an enterprise situation where there is a mixed bag of operating systems .... We really feel like it's a new era.

Moses? That's a very humble beginning. I'm so happy for them, the more the merrier. I know she takes mothering very seriously and it is one of the hardest things you can possibly do and it will take every ounce of imagination that she has. I'm so happy for her because that little Apple deserves a playmate.

It could go to 300, it could go to 200, ... It really depends on the frenzy that it meets this morning. It certainly could be worth $100 or $200 a share very easily; it has established a real brand for itself; it has almost 70 percent of the marketplace, due to its excellent marketing, it has really out-paced Windows, and it hasn't made the mistake that Apple Computer made way back when: It has an open platform instead of a closed platform. Certainly with today's IPO market, they picked a very fortuitous time to go public. The average IPO this year is up 150 percent.

I think the (PPI and core PPI) numbers will make the Fed a bit more comfortable that the status quo is fine, ... The core PPI is the one they really care about. It's really telling us that the inflation story is not running away from us. That doesn't mean the debate won't be heated. But this number does tilt the apple cart.

The only reason I'd say no to that is because it's the type of player he is. We have other guys that can fill in in certain spots, but it's the athlete, it's the versatile 6-6, 6-7 athlete that can guard inside guys and guards, and that's where it creates some problems for us. It's not really replacing apples to apples. Anybody else that we replace him with is a completely different kind of athlete.
