Conspiracy? Conspiracy. Or?

Apple sells the iPod Photo 60 GB for 899 Swiss Francs through their online store. Mediamarkt has them, too, in Switzerland. For 999. I don't get it. Does Mediamarkt want to let people think the iPod's more expensive than it is? Or does Mediamarkt want to make more money off the iPod hype? Either way, it's strange...

Apple typo or PB G5 soon?

TheRegister notes that some image link refers to a G5 PowerBook. However, it does look a lot like a typo - and adding such a link to an old page (when it'd be replaced with a whole new page, anyway, at a product change) wouldn't make much sense. Typo? Yes, we think so.
By now, MacRumors has also taken this story and has extended it by another typo. Apparently, the french version of the page for the 17" Studio Display (a very OLD page, mind you!) mentions a PB G5 also. However, that does - in my opinion - only tell me that people are constantly making these typoes.
