Ars Technica says Intel and Apple destined to clash

Apple hasn’t updated the Mac Pro in almost two years, the MacBook Air is in desperate need of a refresh, the Mac Mini’s recent update didn’t go far enough to warrant the price hike, and the entire notebook line hasn’t seen anything significant of late. It’s been a very non Apple period this past two years for its Mac lineup. Little wonder when you’ve seen how much effort they’ve put in to their relatively new mobile front with the iPhone and iOS platform.

Wondering why Apple has been lagging in its Mac updates and development? Ars Technica takes a look at what seems to be going on between Apple and Intel and why AMD may be in the picture.

Every iPhone 4 TV ad Apple EVER does from now on is going to show people holding it left-handed, just to screw with the complainers.

Apple fires up four new FaceTime ads

Technology is about helping people do things and with iPhone 4 Apple puts communication back on the table. It’s not just video call, it’s video call done right.

So why did Apple restrict FaceTime to wifi only? Tried doing this on a 3G network? I have, and it’s not pretty.

Supposed leak from WSJ about the Apple tablet

The WSJ does it again. Special coverage from Yukari Iwatani Kane and Ethan Smith about the supposed upcoming tablet from Apple. Since the WSJ is behind a pay wall (and it’s a really long piece) the essence of the story can be found in this post from Business Insider.
Some highlights:

Apple wants to "reshape businesses like textbooks, newspapers and television much the way his iPod revamped the music industry—and expand Apple’s influence and revenue as a content middleman.“

Apple wants to launch a web-based version of iTunes by June.  This would allow people to use the store without special iTunes software.  The service would also have distributed "Buy” buttons all over the web.

Tablet is designed to be shared.  May come with facial recognition camera.  Users may be able to leave virtual sticky notes for other users
