• Why Apple is the best retailer in America
  "When we launched retail, there was a real cult-of-the-Mac mentality," he says. "But our goal was never to have a store for a cult. It was to be a store for everyone. So if you look around here," you see, in fact, the sort of group you'd see in diversity-recruiting brochures. Nor does the store feel like a cult.

In fact, classical music is doing a lot better than you might think. Although total sales in all music categories (on- and offline) fell 5 percent last year, classical sales grew by a whopping 22 percent.

• How to Snatch an Expiring Domain
  Mike Davidson in 2005 on using Snapnames, Enom and Pool to secure a good domain name. It later turned out to be Newsvine.com.
  I recently found myself in the position of wanting to register a domain which was owned by someone else. The domain was set to expire in a week, and I figured there was a decent chance that the person who owned it wouldn’t be renewing it.
