Special: 2012 Tournament of Apple’s Best Code Names

As we are in the middle of the NCAA Tournament, brackets are a way of life. Here at SchwarzTech, we decided to have our own 32-seed (64 was just too much) bracket of Apple’s best product code names, much like last year’s worst Apple products tournament. Keep listening to SchwarzTech Radio, follow us on Twitter, become a fan on Facebook, or check back here for our updates and feel free to play along with your own bracket!
