No Comment: Walt Mossberg Asks Steve Jobs About...
Walt: When will there be an iPhone that runs on the fastest, so-called “3G” networks?
Steve: Walt, you know we don’t talk about future products. Again, Wi-Fi is far faster than 3G networks.
Walt: Will you follow the pattern you set with the iPod and bring out less costly models? If so, when?
Steve: We don’t talk about future products.
Walt: This first model is missing some features some other smart phones have, like video recording, instant messaging and real-time GPS navigation. Do you plan to upgrade iPhones purchased now so they have these features? If so, when?
Steve: We don’t talk about future products.

Fewer employers are offering coverage to workers, down from 69 percent of employers in 2000 to 60 percent in 2005. The drop stems almost entirely from fewer small businesses offering health benefits.
Nearly 40 percent of the uninsured population reside in households that earn $50,000 or more. A growing number of middle-income families...

Down the Drain
My brother has had a problem with his MacBook wherein his battery continues to drain even after he closes the lid and the laptop – indicated by the pulsing light on the front – enters the traditional “sleep” mode that has always, as far as I can remember, been induced by this action. I am planning to purchase a new MacBook myself in the next couple of months so his problem is going...
