It didn't take long for Logitech's new Pure-Fi Anywhere speaker system to become my travel speaker system of choice. With its myriad of thoughtful features and surprisingly rich sound for its size, I have yet to find a portable speaker system I like as well. What's so good about it? Well, first and foremost, it sounds better than most other similarly-sized iPod speaker systems.

The iPod touch, Apple's latest media gadget, has been on store shelves for less than a month. However, a hacker barely in his teens has claimed he's already cooked up a code called iJailbreak that will allow touch users to load their devices with third-party applications. As an added bonus, the program apparently does its job for anyone interested in freeing their media player from Apple's solitary confinement.

My daughter received an iPod nano for her birthday. Two months later, it stopped working. We visited Apple's Oakridge, Calif., store to have it looked at. I must admit that based upon Apple's cool advertising and reputation as being on the cutting edge, I expected that this would not take long and that the service we would receive would be world class. I was seriously mistaken.

A lot of people appear to think that Apple is on the wrong side of the iPhone unlocking and bricking affair and is rotten to the core. I believe they are wrong. In fact, I believe Apple to be totally blameless and well within its rights, the law and even good sense. The arguments so far have been that Apple is acting either illegally or unethically.

Say your job is behind-the-scenes manager of a touring dance troupe. Before every trip, you need to check inventory. Costumes for 14 dancers. Check. Scenery and design artifacts for certain works. Check. About 1,000 iPods. Excuse me? The iPods aren't for the dancers. They're for the audience.
