You smug control freak, you: Mindset Media has done "research" that says that Mac people are smug arrogant control freaks.

 

iTunes passes RealPlayer: A recent report says that more users are choosing iTunes over RealPlayer for streaming Web media. In related news, people still use RealPlayer. (Was that comment too smug?)

 

Apple: Double-digit marketshare?: Analysts at Gartner think that Apple's marketshare could hit 12 percent by 2011.

 

MacBook Air hits shelves: Apple says that the MacBook Air is now shipping. No word on whether preorder customers will get their new Air in a manila envelope covered with first-class stamps.

 

Apple TV delayed: As you probably heard, Apple TV Take 2 needs more time before Apple releases it.

 

Amazon buys Audible: Amazon bought audio book reseller Audible for $300 million. Amazon says it will continue to honor Audible's partnership agreement, which lasts until 2010. Beyond 2010? That probably depends on the evolution of the Kindle.

 

MythBuster likes the iPhone: The Apple reference in this article is small, but Jamie Hyneman of the TV show MythBusters mentions the iPhone in an article for Popular Mechanics, calling it "smart techonology."
