Apple's online iTunes music store is now the number-two music retailer in the U.S. behind Wal-Mart Stores as measured by unit volume, market researcher NPD Group said Tuesday. NPD said that iTunes moved into second place due to the amount of music it sold during 2007, which was based on a 12-track CD equivalency for song downloads. The market researcher began tracking music sold stateside during the middle of 2006. In the fourth quarter of that year, Best Buy took second place behind Wal-Mart, while Target took third place and Apple's iTunes store fourth place, NPD analyst Russ Crupnick said.

Last night, while working at my Mac, I experienced one of those heart stopping moments where you do something you didn't really mean to do, but once you do it, it can't be undone. I threw away all the items in my Keychain folder. All 150 of my passwords, software registration codes, Internet sign-in passwords, credit card numbers, everything. I was trying to discard one out-of-date item. Instead I discarded everything. This is not a case of dragging something to the trash.

I am writing these words on a new laptop computer that packs a full-size screen and keyboard into a body that's quite thin and light. It has a solid-state drive with no moving parts instead of a hard disk. However, this isn't the much-touted Apple MacBook Air, introduced last month with all those qualities. Instead, it's a new ThinkPad from Lenovo -- the X300. While the two machines are both impressive products, they are different in key respects. I've been testing the ThinkPad X300, and I have found it to be a solid, innovative laptop that will be perfect for many mobile PC users.

Shares of Apple slid more than 3 percent in late trades Friday, putting the stock down in excess of 40 percent since the start of 2008. The move follows a research note from Bernstein analyst Toni Sacconaghi that says the company's iPhone business, expected to be a significant profit driver for the company, is facing challenges from lower than expected demand and greater than anticipated incidences of "unlocking" the device, which prevents the company from sharing in service-related revenue.

After Apple announced the upgrade and lower price for its Apple TV, casually dubbed "Take 2" by CEO Steve Jobs in his Macworld keynote address in January, I knew I'd finally shell out the cash to buy one. Simply put, the first-generation Apple TV didn't have enough bang for the buck to bother with. However, Apple TV Take 2, with its buy-and-rent-straight-from-the-couch simplicity, finally had a killer application. I didn't know the half of it. It turns out Apple TV has other killer apps.
