As an unabashed Apple fanboy, I always love to see a credible publication give Steve Jobs and Co. their due. This time it's TV Week sining the praises of the iPod with video. While even I (Apple fanboy) think their headline might be going overboard a bit, I do agree that the iPod - iTunes combo certainly got the ball rolling.
