Pretty much every one of Cupertino’s world beating mobile devices, including MacBooks, have passive liquid contact/submersion indicators built in and if that’s pink (or white/silver, as the case may be) when you send it in for service, Apple wouldn’t fix it. Not a liquid related issue? Live in a high humidity area? Didn’t matter, because you’d be strictly S.O.L.
The success of the Apple App Store is proving difficult to duplicate for other companies, and Google is beginning to cast about for new and better ideas for getting Android apps built for Android handsets.
There are lots of headlines out there proclaiming that, if the Apple’s iPad business and its tens of billions in revenue was reckoned as a separate enterprise, it would be in the top 130 or so of the Fortune 500. Although that makes an eye catching headline, it’s an utterly spurious proposition.

It’s just been two weeks since Verizon announced that it would be selling the iPhone, and already Motorola is feeling the pressure of the Apple handset, with smartphone sales on Verizon down enough to notice.
Gartner Research has done what they do best, which is gaze into their crystal ball and get good answers, and can not tell us that Apple’s mobile app revenue in 2011 will be at least $15 billion.
What could be cooler than sipping a latte wherever and cruising the web at 4G — OK, it’s really only 3.5G — speeds on your creamy smooth MacBook Pro? Well, we don’t get to experience that just yet, but Big Red is working on the problem and the final piece of the puzzle might be coming next month.
