Things are all coming together... This looks to be the bezel for the new iPhone (perhaps a 3.5G version which should ship with a better camera, video functions, faster network, etc.) There have been other photos posted, but this is the first one which shows an all black bezel and the speaker near the very top of the iPhone.Purported next-gen iPhone bezel shows speaker, color changes | iLounge

This is strange. Apple has never let anything but an iPod sync with iTunes. They must not be too worried about competition for the iPhone, or maybe they're just worried about monopoly issues with iTunes.Scooplet: the Palm Pre syncs with iTunes - Apple 2.0: "Plug a Pre into a Mac and it syncs, seamlessly, with Apple’s (AAPL) iTunes.In fact, the iTunes Store treats the Pre just as it would an iPod

This is crazy fast. If you've not experienced on of the current 8-core Nehalem-based MacPros, and even if you have, you can't wrap your head around this. Basically with this hyper-threading (the current MacPros have this) you get a "virtual core" concept. What this does is lets the 4-core chip available today run 8 threads (computations) simultaneously - basically double what is should be doing.

Some people are saying that this delay is coming from lack of competition. Currently AMD doesn't have anything near this power at this price point so it sounds like Intel is going to give the market some time to burn up the older boards and let the competition heat up.Intel delays debut of Core i5 platform until early September: "Intel has decided to postpone the debut of its new mainstream

Now I'm not saying texting is bad, but this is crazy! I'm all for texting to a certain level, but when it interferes with actual human interactions then we've got a problem. One of my biggest peeves is when you're with someone who cannot stop checking their phone. A few times is fine, but when it's every 60-90 seconds then you're obviously not spending time with the people currently in the room
