AppleBerry Coming Soon (??)
We’re calling bullshit, like we always do when we hear about a hot Apple phone, but go ahead and pee yourself a little: RIM and Apple may be teaming up to create the ultimate in phone email reading machinery. Don’t expect this to be the iPhone we’ve all been wet-dreaming about. This will probably be…
SlingPlayer for Mac Delayed Until September, Dozens Upset
Announced back in January at CES, the Mac version of the SlingPlayer software has been delayed by some 90 days until September.

Never Cross Apple
With all our Apple crack licking, it’s news like this that kind of encourages to take our tongues away. It seems that a Samsung exec spilled the beans about the manufacture of chips for the iPod Nano and, as a result, Apple pulled its business and sent it to SigmaTel. The claim comes from Los…
Dell Supports OSX
Not quite sure what to make of this, but Dell’s website is now supporting Apple Mac OS, for what it’s worth. Thus far they’re only transmitting EXE files when you try to download the drivers and we’re not quite sure what Dell products you can can attach to your MacBook except for cameras and other…

While the the argument posited by this piece is pretty flimsy, it’s important to realize that the blogosphere is pretty much down on Vista. Essentially, this piece says that Vista’s apparent failures will send folks flocking to Linux and that folks with low-end machines who can’t make Vista purdy will also be willing to contend…
