âThe biggest tech story of 2007 occurred shortly after the new year when Apple announced the iPhone at the MacWorld Expo in San Francisco,â writes Larry Magid  in his assessment of the tech innovations for 2007. And, Magid points out, Apple âalso came out with a new operating system last year called Leopard.â In fact, âunlike the lukewarm response to Vista, Mac users seem to be generally impressed by Leopard.â

By Clint Swett  SACRAMENTO, Calif. - Steve Wozniak never questioned that his calling was science and electronics.  The 56-year-old co-founder of Apple Computer was weaned on Tom Swift books, and recalls being thrilled that Tom could develop a plasma field to trap space aliens.

For the Wall Street Journal, Tim Hanrahan and Jason Fry write, &#147;In Monday&#146;s column, we predicted that the combination of the iPod&#146;s popularity and the increasing worry over viruses, security holes and spyware in Windows PCs will lead to the second coming of Apple Computer as a home-computing power. To say that struck a chord would be putting it mildly. Boy, did we ever get mail &#151; including a significant number of people who said that the iPod, Windows security concerns or a combination of the two had made them switch to a Mac or plan to do so.&#148; [Paid WSJ subscription required.] [Dec 23]

Lance Ulanoff  includes Apple, in general, and iPhone, in particular, among his Seven Wonders of the technology world. He calls Apple a âtechnology company that bears little to no resemblance to its counterparts,â one that âhas an unmatched ability to create product buzz and then back it up with buzz-worthy products.â Like, for example, the iPhone. âThe iPhone takes over for the 80GB widescreen iPod with Video in the world of wonder. This hybrid device (yes, itâs a phone and an MP3 player) recalls the black monolith from 2001: A Space Odyssey.â Ulanoff indicates that âthe iPhone reaches âwonderâ status, though, because of its one-of-a-kind interface. The effortless multitouch screen has no equal.â

First, the big news is that lines are forming at Apple stores. Send links to pictures. Oh the humanity. Second, the reason those of us who ordered in advance are not getting our Leopards is that Fedex couldn't handle the load.  Even so, when I called Fedex this morning they said I would have my package today, even though the website says otherwise. Their gears are stipped on a good day. Is Fedex the AT&T of package delivery? Will Apple end up leasing their own fleet of trucks to deliver the next version of Mac OS? I guess we still have to make it through this release.  Will we be able to have a Flash Conference on Monday to discuss Leopard? Only time will tell.

&#147;It has been a good year for Apple,&#148; writes Wilson Rothman in naming the iMac G5 TIME Gadget of the Week. &#147;Since the beginning of 2004, I&#146;ve discussed GarageBand, AirPort Express and the latest iPod. If you go back 12 months, you can probably even throw in iTunes Music Store, the original G5 and the official release of iChat AV. This isn&#146;t favoritism, I&#146;m just impressed. Rather than spend money on its silly &#145;Switch&#146; ad campaign, the company has spent it inventing actual reasons for people to switch from Windows to Mac, not least of all personal style. The iMac G5 is super suave, but it&#146;s also a pretty good deal.&#148; [Sep 22]
