A gallery of mixed pop culture (some aren’t pop culture, but most are) images with Star Wars added.

Sounds like trouble.

Microsoft is running an ad campaign for it’s Internet Explorer 8 web browser.

First off, the fact that Microsoft is having to advertise it’s browser says something. Secondly, these ads are just stupid.

I will admit, I did chuckle.

I’m holding my breath.

He’s working part-time at Apple HQ, and part-time at home.

Apple is pulling Rolando from the App Store to make room for Rolando 2. You have until this Wednesday, July 1st to buy a copy before it’s pulled. I highly recomend it.

A great brief essay by Merlin Mann. It sounds like he’s getting tired of Twitter.

We should all strive to do better.

Apple, un-surprisingly, has pulled the latest version of “Hottest Girls” from the app store. As you may, or may not have remembered, the update was permitted on the App Store a few days ago, which allowed users to view nude photos.

The app was originally pulled off the store by the developer because of server load, then Apple later permanently removed the app, and released a told CNN stating that they would not allow “porn” on the store.

I normally have no complaints about Apple, but they need to sit down and seriously rethink their App Store approval process.

John Gruber’s excellent analysis of the New York Times recent “Apple Secrecy” piece.

I really enjoyed this story. It gives the reader a really tiny glimpse into Apple and their secretive culture.

Ed McMahon, Johnny Carson’s “sidekick”, has died. I was too youung to remeber the Carson era Tonight Show, and I wish that wasn’t the case.

If this is really the case, and Jobs is back at Apple, I suspect we might see an official press release any day now.

I will point out that simply seeing him on campus, doesn’t mean he is back to work. Duh.
