Since it first unveiled the iPhone more than a year ago, Apple has been heading down a new path. Having developed a version of the OS X operating system that runs not only on a Macintosh but also on a device that fits in your pocket, Apple has blurred the distinction between what we know of as a "computer" and what we think of as a "consumer electronics" device. The best evidence of this point, which I've argued before in this space, is the iPhone's overlooked cousin, the iPod touch.

As Apple labors to keep pace with competitors in the smartphone, digital music and personal computer fields, the Cupertino, Calif.,-based company is unleashing an updated Web browser to stay in step with its rivals. On Tuesday, Apple made its updated Safari 3.1 browser available for Mac and Windows users. The updated browser loads Web pages 1.9 faster than Microsoft's Internet Explorer 7 and 1.7 times faster than Firefox 2, Apple said. Safari also runs JavaScript up to six times faster than rival browsers and is the first browser to support new interactive Web programs.

Less than five months after going public with plans to immediately start replacing its Windows-based PCs with Macs, Auto Warehousing was forced to push back the project by more than a month. That was last December. The reason was not a lack of money, manpower or executive support. Rather, what stymied the project were protests from workers and objections from customers who perceived the technology switch as unnecessarily costly.
