MacNN this week
Apple's success was reiterated on Monday: company executives have sold shares were announced this week, with Wal-Mart, Amazon and Apple topping the list.
Word came Wednesday that the U.K. top chart slot may be decided by download sales for the first time in history, thanks in part to the iTunes Music Store, with weekly digital sales expected to top one million. Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster's checks suggested Thursday that holiday iPod and Mac sales are stronger this year than last year, and that Apple is maintaining inventory levels at Apple specialist stores better than the spotty selection at "big box" third-party retailers.
