- Readomatic Alpha Release: A Standalone App of Web App of Standalone App
General confusion and ambivalence about the continued value of stand-alone have gone mainstream as of...now.

That's because German developer Gernot Poetsch has released an alpha of a new RSS reader he calls Readomatic. What's so weird about this app? Well, it's a standalone application of Google Reader, which is itself a replacement for a standalone RSS reader. Google Reader's great advantage is that it isn't standalone -- you can use it on any computer connected to the Internet and still have it keep up with all your readings.
We're now in the age of applications that take the limited functionality and GUI of a web app and give it the restricted, non-portable feature set of a standalone app. We're through the looking glass here, people. Still, it looks kinda hot. I'm not going to stop using Vienna, though.

Pete Mortensen - FCC Says iPhone OK For Public Consumption
Our long, national nightmare is over: The FCC has approved the iPhone, which means that nothing is holding back the miracle device's release other than software issues so titanic that people got pulled off of Leopard development to fix it....Our long, national nightmare is over: The FCC has approved the iPhone, which means that nothing is holding back the miracle device's release other than software issues so titanic that people got pulled off of Leopard development to fix it. Yep, all hurdles cleared.
At the product's intro, Steve Jobs said he was taking the unusual stance of announcing the iPhone early so that the FCC wouldn't do it for him. So mark this day -- in an alternate universe where Steve doesn't believe in early announcements, even if it means screwing over the FCC, this would be the day that news of the iPhone broke. Can you even imagine how different 2007 would have been without all our wildest iPhone rumors confirmed.

Pete Mortensen - The Saga of a Fake Apple Internal Memo

The false news allegedly caused Apple to lose $4 billion in market cap in just six minutes.
It's pretty a long and pretty involved tale, but the most interesting piece is this: Someone with access to Apple's internal e-mail systems sent the original memo. Apple sent a second e-mail denying that the first message was real, but it all feels fishy.
After all, we know Apple has started fake rumors in the past just to flush out leakers. Could the Steve now be applying this logic to his own employees?
