The month of September was all about Halo! It launched mid-September and turned into quite the money maker for Microsoft, bringing in $170 million in the first 24 hours.During the week prior to the launch of the popular Xbox 360 game, the ending of the game was leaked which caused quite the stir. Also in September came the big controversy over at Apple when Steve Jobs announced the iPod Touch, but also announced that the 8GB iPhone was receiving a major price cut — from $599 to $399. Oh, and then there was that whole situation with the ‘iBrick”.. remember that? Take a look at those headlines:

–October 2007–

We were seeing spots in October with the launch of Mac OS X 10.5 – Leopard. It officially launched on October 26th. Walt Mossberg of the Wall Street Journal released his review of Apple’s Leopard operating system shortly before the official launch of it, and called it “Evolutionary not Revolutionary.” Another big date in October was Blog Action Day in which bloggers were encouraged to write about the environment. We spent the whole day on October 15th writing about how the technology that we use affects the environment.
