Over at Daring Fireball, John Gruber speculates on the design of the iPhone 5. He admits that he doesn't know what the iPhone 5 will look like, but what he writes is "just good old fashioned speculation and design thinking". Either way, there's basically two ways the iPhone 5 will appear: either in a design that's very similar (even identical, perhaps) to the iPhone 4, or in a somewhat MacBook Air-inspired "teardrop" design.
Apple has told the education sector that there will be no more boxed copies of Apple software, with very few exceptions. This latest move shows that Apple are really serious about the Mac App Store as a distribution platform for apps, pointing education customers towards the Mac App Store as an alternative (which, when combined with Mac App Store volume purchasing, completes the software package).
The iPod classic is almost ten years old, and here we are, discussing whether Apple should kill off the greatest music player of our time. With the demise of iPod click-wheel games (arguably not the most profitable nor popular apps ever), 9 to 5 have a little discussion on whether Apple will kill off the device that started it all.
Long story short: an American company interviewed people what they thought a "cool" brand was. Apple came second on the list, only just behind the super-cool Aston Martin.
