APPLE GOOD; APPLE BAD

There's a lovely piece over on Boing Boing where Jim Reekes tells the full story about why the Apple system noise was the Beatles-taunting sosumi: apparently, he'd gotten so pissed off with the 'Apple can't enter the music business' legal stuff he'd wanted to call the sound Let It Beep.

Less heartwarmingly, Guardian consumer champion Dear Claire contains some less-than-glowing reports of Apple's customer services letting itself down with people who find problems with iPods. Surely they've learned by now that it's pointless building a customer base if you can't keep them loyal?
