Ars Technica’s top 10 Apple stories of 2004

Ars Technica offers a nice wrap-up of 2004 and a few predictions for 2005. Not surprising is the number one story: the iPod: “It was the largest driver of growth, and Apple actually sold more iPods than computers during the last quarter of 2004.”

For 2005, look for a continued focus on music (again, surprise, surprise!). Also predicted: dual core Power Mac G5s and the PowerBook G5, though neither are expected to hit the streets before the second half of the year.
