MercuryNews.com 01/11/2006 The Mac is back: "It's not that the Apple vision is a revolutionary one, Wu observed.But the company has a way of turning bland beige computer boxes into white objects of desire. And all the pieces fit well together, from the software that operates the thin, portable iPod music players to the iTunes Web site that delivers the songs, and now video.``It's like a symphony,'' Wu said. ``Everything has to work in sync. That has been the biggest problem Apple's competitors face. Even at CES, with all of these announcements -- a lot of these products are not integrated. Remember, the iPod has been out for four years. Every year, you hear it's going to die, and every year they sell more. Apple is extending its franchise into other areas.''"
