Apple Responds
< RANT >In this letter addressing the iPhone price drop, Steve Jobs offers a $100 store credit towards the purchase of any product at an Apple Retail Store or the Apple Online Store. Personally I think Apple is being WAY too nice here. Taking care of their customers I guess but price drops are too be expected from Apple. They have ALWAYS done it so what’s the big surprise now? To me the extra $200 was worth enjoying it for an extra 2 months. If the extra $200 is a big deal for you then you shouldn’t be spending $600 on a phone. Apple didn’t force anyone to buy it. It’s that simple. I don’t know what’s more ridiculous, people complaining about the price drop or the law suits over the battery replacement program. Shut up already and enjoy this wonderful device. < / RANT >

Body Type
A friend of mine sent me this link to a site for a book called Body Type, labeled as “the first book devoted entirely to typographic tattoos”. A lot of interesting tattoos but the one that caught my attention is this image of an art director branded in Franklin Gothic No. 2 and Univers 65.
iPod Touch
If you haven’t heard by now Apple has released the iPod Touch with features like Multi-touch, widescreen display, Wi-Fi web browsing and music downloads. Sorry Zune!
