Last week I posted an article about Apple Stock and how the “Pros” got it wrong. Well something started a huge conversation. This caused the article to attract lots of people. They all commented at the same time which crashed the database. Since the database was writing during this process it corrupted. We have repaired it, but we may have lost a few articles and we lost all the comments made on that article, but we have decided that rather then recreate them we will move forward.
We apologize for the downtime and thank you for your support and understanding.
Today Apple released iTunes 10.6.3. We reported a couple days ago that we strongly felt that textbooks were coming for students on iTunes. We were correct, but in addition Apple released a product called iBook Author which allows you to create real iBooks. This is a dream for authors, teachers, employers, etc. but a nightmare for publishers.
Since the subject is education, we feel that Apple may surprise us with an updated MacBook or something like that, but most likely it will be some announcement concerning Text Books on iTunes. This Christmas, Kindle Fire sales were up because Amazon put college text books on kindle. That saves students incredible amounts of money. Now its time for apple to do the same.
