"Podcasting, which was developed by Apple in 1994, stands for iPod and broadcasting."
This must have been the real first generation iPod the size of a backpack with swappable floppy's for memory and 10 second podcasts in aif format.
I don't really mean to pick on Ms. Carey, well, maybe a little. I would also think that the Editor also deserves some razzing.
What this article and eventual syndication to a sister Texas newspaper under the same ownership of Community Newspaper Holdings, Inc.(CNHI) highlights is that your tiny corner of the world isn't so tiny anymore.
