Justin Long - Still “a Mac”
Justin Long reports on his website that he is, in fact, still the “Get a Mac” guy…and is even shooting some holiday themed commercials tomorrow (or maybe today, the post was from 6:40 am this morning)…perhaps the report was a hoax trying to make him seem like even more of a “jerk” than some people [...]

BRIEF: iTunes Flexible Album Pricing/Microsoft Pays Universal Off the Top
There is a new iTunes rumor circling around the web…this time it’s about album pricing. Cnet reported on it a few days ago, saying that iTunes may allow for flexible album pricing on albums where you have already purchased some of the songs individually.
If it’s true, all I can say is - it’s about time.

25 Mac Heist invites to give away — anyone interested?
MacHeist is the new online project from the creators of My Dream App. It’s hard to describe what it is exactly, but it will require your sleuthing skills and creative thinking - with the reward being cool Mac software (and possibly more).

Macworld Blooper Compilation
I know this isn’t really new, but it’s a Friday and I think we all deserve some pretty light stuff to get us into that weekend mindset. This is a compilation of slip-ups during Steve Jobs’ keynotes at Macworld. Well, what can I say? Probably only Steve can handle situations like these with grace.
‘Gotta love [...]
