Apple’s infrared ‘camera kill switch’ patent application hits a nerve – TUAW – The Unofficial Apple Weblog. This is the kind of “quiet censorship” that concerns us who work with Apple products. An earlier post yesterday talked about filtering based on political words.
Study finds Macs account for 11% of corporate computers, Windows XP dominates | TUAW – The Unofficial Apple Weblog. I have been seeing this for years. People have gotten sick of using XP, and if they have Windows 7 they seem to prefer Macs. I think that the iPhone has done major work in rehabilitating the opinion of the general public about the functionality of Apple products.
TUAW\’s Daily App: Tiny Tower | TUAW – The Unofficial Apple Weblog. You can play a clone called Tiny Tower. It is free and looks great! I like Yoot Tower as well, if you like the original.
Steve Jobs unveils new Apple campus that literally looks like a mothership | TUAW – The Unofficial Apple Weblog. You should see the photo that accompanies this article. It really does look like a spaceship. You can watch Steve Jobs 21 minute presentation below. It is fun and he shares some of his past.

If you want to do this your best case is to make a case at Apple for it. If you have Applecare then you can legitimately ask how you can accomplish this. If I were to do this I wouldn’t expect to be able to save all the data. I would expect at the very least that 3rd party software would miss things like smart playlists, and metadata.
Try SyncoTunes. It has pretty good reviews.
