This week’s Macworld column asks the musical question “How small can a sample size get?” How’s less than one strike you?
Small sample sizes
Sample sizes so small they may not even exist!

Free range Macalope
New schedule with free columns on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.
Macworld has ended its Insider service. Starting this week, the Macalope will publish a Daily (single piece) on Tuesdays and Thursdays and a Weekly (three pieces) on Saturdays, all free.
Today’s piece looks at some wacky, alternate reality Apple coverage from down under.
Weak sauce
You really going to stick with that argument?
This week’s Macworld column looks at some of the weakest arguments about Apple you’re likely to see. (This is called “curation”, people. Look it up.)
It’s a living
Asking the musical question “Do they really get paid for this?”
This week’s Macworld column looks at more fantastic “analysis” of the iPhone 5 and you’ll never guess what a university professor thinks Apple is. Unless you already guess “a religion” which you probably did.
Issues
Tim Cook’s apology, YouTube-gate and the anniversary of Steve Jobs’ death.
This week’s Macworld column looks at Tim Cook’s apology, an Apple-gate you may not have heard about (because it’s so pathetic) and the anniversary of Steve Jobs’ death.
From bad to worse
Dan Lyons at Gizmodo? Sound about right.
This week’s Macworld column looks at — what else? — the response to Mapgate. Also, jerktastic pundits who think they have any idea what Steve Jobs would have done.
Who writes this stuff?
iPhone hate, trite comparisons and… ANDROID IS WINNING.
This week’s Macworld column looks at iPhone pre-hate, trite pop culture comparisons to Apple and an “Android is winning” pundit who misses on some very basic facts.
The sincerest form of jerkery
Apple v. Samsung reaction and it’s not copying, people, it’s natural evolution!
This week’s Macworld column looks at the response to the Apple vs. Samsung trial outcome and asks, is anyone really copying Apple? (Spoiler: yes.)
Early reviews
Never too early to review Apple products that aren’t shipping yet!
This week’s Macworld column looks at those who want to compare Apple products not shipping yet to currently shipping devices and how Tim Cook’s doing.
Pointless exercises
Were these three trips really necessary?
This week’s Macworld column looks at the pointless exercises our technology pundits undertake. Is it ever too early to ask if Apple’s close to going out of business? It helps if you apply a set of Apple-only standards. And we know nothing about it, but let’s judge the iPhone 5!
