Apple prototypes playing a game of Where’s Waldo?

It’s obvious that making a sale in these times, are tough. But it seems like Apple is playing the ‘oh my, wherever did that prototype go?’ game, one too many times.

Exactly 1 month ago, from today – April 19th, Gizmodo posted pictures of the next generation iPhone that was found (“lost”) in a German pub in California. Today – May 19th, we learn that the next generation iPod Touch has surfaced in Vietnam, as per the site Tinhte.

Let’s play a game! Which prototype do you think will be ‘lost’ on June 19th (and where?)?

Computers…coming soon to a TV near you

Google, Intel and Sony are joining forces to bring us (drum roll, please) – “Smart TV”. This new deal is going to be unveiled at Google’s annual developer conference in San Francisco this week. Intel CEO promises, that [whatever this Smart TV is] will be as big a revolutionary change to TV as was color.

Smart TV… it’s safe to assume that Sony TVs will operate like a computer (hint: Intel) that will have a search engine device (ala Google)? So how will a device like a Smart TV fill a need? Are they trying to make us lazier? We can’t flip through the channels on our own? Or..(gasp) do something that doesn’t involve sitting on a couch staring at a box?

Google street view…more than meets the eye

I have definitely seen one of those Google street view finder cars before. I always wondered, are they really only getting images of the street…and even more so..has anyone ever asked ME if I wanted a picture of my house available online? Talk about violation of privacy…! Well, turns out that the nice citizens of Germany, decided to inquire further…
