Mac fans and bloggers are outraged over Apple’s announcement that it has taken resources from its Mac OS X team to help finish the iPhone on time, compromising the scheduled release of the next version of Mac OS X, code named Leopard, which now won’t be out until October. Apple says that Leopard won’t be released at the Worldwide Developers Conference in early June as planned, instead developers at the conference will receive a “near-final” beta copy. Apple’s spin doctors tried to present the situation in the best possible light. This is what they had to say about the iPhone being on time:

“iPhone has already passed several of its required certification tests and is on schedule to ship in late June as planned. We can’t wait until customers get their hands (and fingers) on it and experience what a revolutionary and magical product it is.”  

The availability of pornographic videos helped the VHS video tape format triumph over Betamax in early 1980s. Now a senior analyst at Forrester is suggesting that the availability of porn may affect who wins the high-definition DVD format war between HD-DVD and Blu-ray.
