Minority Report: 12 months that changed Apple

Minority Report: Apple's blues

Minority Report: A greener Apple

Minority Report: Macs gaining enterprise cred
Comment Over the past few years Apple has done a lot to make Macs more appealing to corporations - and, says Seb Janacek, it looks like its hard work may just be starting to pay off. All but one of the CIOs said that despite the company's record of... [19 Jul 2007]
Minority Report: Should Apple set its music free?
Comment Seb Janacek explains. EMI's decision to 'go commando' with DRM-free music is the first from one of the major four record labels. In the last quarter alone it announced record sales of the devices - more than 21 millions units shipped. [11 Apr 2007]
Minority Report: The 10 best things about Apple

Minority Report: Apple in your living room

Minority Report: Microsoft goes for Apple's jugular - the iPod
Comment Seb Janacek gets nostalgic for another head-to-head between Redmond and Cupertino, this time to determine who will rule the digital music world. It also seems unlikely it will ship this year as promised, even setting aside Microsoft's poor record... [04 Aug 2006]

Comment The Mac market-share debate continues to rage but these days, argues Seb Janacek, with the widening of the Apple portfolio and the company reporting best-ever financial results it is largely irrelevant. [12 Jun 2006]
Minority Report: Disney, Pixar and Apple - what happens next
