There’s a lot of stuff percolating out today about Apple heading into the video market, similar to what it did with the iPod and the music business. Here’s a story<\/a> from today’s Globe, along with another <\/a>in MarketWatch.<\/p>\n

You might also be interested in Robert X. Cringely’s column<\/a>, which I think is the source for a lot of this stuff. Cringely is always good for an interesting take on things. He’s one of my favourite tech writers.<\/p>\n

What does all this mean for you and me? Well, I don’t have any money, so I can’t go out and buy Apple shares, but I wish I had picked some up back about a year ago, just after I got my PowerBook. The company’s profit sheet has stayed really good for awhile, and I suspect that if this video thing works out, Apple will stay a good bet.<\/p>\n

I’m still bitter about the fact I didn’t have the jam to do what I was telling everyone else to do back when Google shares first went public. I thought of converting some of my RRSP stuff to Google shares, but since I don’t have a steady income anymore, I didn’t work up the courage to do it. Why, I’m not really sure. It was probably as close to a sure thing as anything will ever be…and I knew it! Oh well…I guess the market is not really my thing.<\/p>\n

Finally, are you up to date with the podcast<\/a> phenonomenon? What? You haven’t heard of podcasting? It’s only…well, never mind. But there is an interesting story<\/a> in today’s Globe about how mainstream companies are lining up to jump on the bandwagon. I think podcasting is pretty cool…I subscribe to several.
