Roughly Drafted Magazine (which has some quality stuff), has a persuasive defense of Apple’s decision to shift its resources to the iPhone at the expense of Leopard. If you’re not interested in the iPhone and are wondering if the delay of Leopard is worth it, there are some good arguments here.

Over on TheStreet.com there’s some analysis of Research In Motion and their vulnerability to the iPhone. Apparently there are some who believe RIM will be unaffected by the iPhone. While there are certainly some very entrenched BlackBerry users out there (like the federal government), if RIM was really immune to the iPhone, they probably wouldn’t be launching a new product to counter Apple’s effort.

If you haven’t yet seen the insides of a 12-inch PowerBook G4, a blog over at Wired has some teardown photos taken during a hard drive replacement operation. Don’t be deceived by how easy they make it look, though, as you don’t see a photo of the leftover screws.
