In case you've been under a rock so far this week, some of the big news in the Mac/tech world is the new Cheskin report on the top innovative companies. Apple ranked #3--behind Microsoft and Dell. I'll give Michael Dull credit for innovative marketing, but his PCs are about as exciting as my wife's Volvo. (Okay, bad example, since the Volvo S80 departs from the boxy design of old for curves, and features a kick-butt turbocharged six under the hood, but you get my point.) I do enjoy the take on this from As the Apple Turns. (Thanks, Chris L.!)
