...amazing that the Nano even made it to the stage. The story of the Nano started nine months ago, when Jobs and his team took a look at the iPod Mini and decided they could make it better. On the face of it, that wouldn't appear to be a fantastically smart decision. The iPod Mini was and still is the best-selling MP3 player in the world, and Apple had introduced it only 11 months earlier. Jobs was proposing to fix something that decidedly was not broken.

...that a draft of the Iraqi constitution has been accepted by the Iraqi National Assembly - but not, presumably a "final, final draft" as negotiations appear to be continuing in the hope of securing Sunni support - some form of the charter is set to go before the Iraqi people for an Oct. 15 referendum. It was pushed through over Sunni Arab objections to "federalism," which they say will spell the dismemberment of Iraq. A process that was to showcase Iraq's unity and bring disgruntled Sunnis into the political process has instead deepened divisions and stoked distrust...
