...best way to describe Apple's iMac G5, which was recently unveiled in Paris and goes on sale later this month, is to say it looks like an iPod on growth hormones. It's what you'd get if you stretched the pocket-size music player until it was 17 in. wide and 2 in. deep, squished a supercomputer into the casing and mounted the whole thing on a metal stand. The resemblance is not coincidental. More people buy iPods than iMacs these days, and Apple admits that this third-generation iMac is its best shot at luring millions...
...respondents would buy music from iTunes if they could. But Sony, the obvious candidate for market leadership (after all, Sony invented the portable music market with the Walkman), has been cautious.

Gould-Wartofsky’s own logo was more subtle: a Harvard Coop insignia, protruding from his back pocket in the form of a plastic...
There are farmwives and churchwomen of grit and industry and waitresses who wore their aprons proudly as professionals. Men recall mothers with plenty of spunk who were up at dawn to pack lunches for school or hang wash with clothespins pulled from an apron's bottomless pocket. Grandmas figure prominently. The tales of their ease and intimacy while they sewed together or rolled out dough remind the viewer that sometimes a grandmother with a bosom might be preferable to one with biceps...
