Every time I read one of Greenpeace’s “greener electronics” guides, I always end up shaking my head in disbelief — they’re just that bad. Why? If anything, the environmental movement needs to adhere to the principles of science and good governance, but that’s not what we’re being sold.
This really needs saying right off the bat — Boxee is an iTunes killer. Granted, it hasn’t quite finished baking and the fillings still need a bit tweaking, as well. But, these guys have big ambitions and they’re within sniffing distance of achieving them.
The latest version of QuarkXpress, the venerable desktop publishing software developer, does not play nicely with certain Apple Mac systems, apparently those running Snow Leopard on some or all processors.
A Wall Street analyst said today that he has heard from his sources that the Apple tablet computer, due to be announced in a few weeks, will be able to use Verizon and other wireless carriers to connect to the Internet.

Were it not Taiwanese OEM manufacturers we would probably “know” a lot less about Apple’s upcoming tablet — Mac tablet, iTablet, iPod touch on steroids, nay, iSlate. The downside is, of course, these sources and the information dribbled out to the eager masses often can’t be relied upon.
A number of manufacturers plan to introduce their own tablet computing devices at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES), hoping to outmaneuver Apple, which has been painfully slow to actualize the rumors for their device.
The first time I heard this rumor, my first thought was that somebody, at least one person, with a brain is obviously on the job at the automaker.
