Apple added a new board member yesterday, Andrea Jung, Chairman and CEO of Avon.
There is some speculation on what this means. My 2 cents:
This is a play to expand Apple beyond its core US market. Where there are ladies there are Avon ladies. Nobody does global marketing better than Avon.
Apple wants to get the iPhone into China. They want to build market-share in Europe and Japan (both trail US market share substantially).
Ms Jung speaks Mardarin. She has connections all all over the world...

Digital Broadcast TV is excellent in Park Slope
So we got a new TV for xmas. We mostly used our old TV to play DVD and VHS.
The new TV is 1080p, and we paired it with an up-converting DVD player. (Seemed too soon to jump in on the Blu-Ray vs HD-TV battle, tho, that seems to have settled itself out this week). The DVD's look great.
Later mostly just for fun I reattached the antenna on my roof and aimed it a little better at the Empire State Building (where most of the antennas are since the WTC was knocked down). We get all the main channels in both analog and digital now. I wonder if people even know that this is available? The picture quality of the digital broadcast channels is really excellent.
