Less than a week after hitting a 52 week high, Apple has done it again, this time closing at $161.45
All this despite the recent problems with their new iMacs freezing up, iPod touch screen problems, etc…
AppleInsider is reporting that Apple may be shipping it’s latest installment of OS X this month on the 26th.
While sources have requested that we not go into detail regarding the specific measures being put into place, they say the announcements are likely to arrive any time between the 22nd and 27th of the month.
Obviously, such a timeframe would coincide with Apple’s self-imposed release schedule for Mac OS X Leopard, which the company — after having delayed the software once — has promised for “October.”
As of Wednesday evening, the source code to Leopard had not yet been frozen and a Gold Master had not yet been declared. However, the operating system in recent weeks has inched closer to this status with the last full builds including only one known issue.
Historically, Apple has tapped the final Friday of the month to roll out its major operating system overhauls. For instance, it launched Mac OS X Tiger on the eve of Friday, April 29, 2005.
Sources have yet to rule out the possibility that Leopard would be accompanied by additional announcements from the Cupertino-based company.

While it may not be the companies themselves that are complete morons and rather their employees, they still hired them and should be held responsible.
CBC Marketplace conducted a sting of 10 different computer companies and found that only three of them correctly diagnosed the problem.
In the interview a former employee of a large computer repair company states that they were always encouraged to sell upgrades, I used to work for a local computer repair company, and I can vouch for this… my boss wanted me to “up sell” every appointment by $200… which is ridiculous when their problem is as simple as plugging their computer back in, or disabling a startup item. He even went as far as to recommend that if I fixed the problem in under in hour, that I should continue to pretend the problem was still their until after the second hour started (since his company billed for an hour even if you were only 15 minutes into the hour). Needless to say, I didn’t work there long.
