So, Which Apple Employee Is Getting Fired For Losing The New iPho | on web ->

Apple's legal team is probably going nuts today. Earlier, Gizmodo posted photos of what appears to be the next iPhone. Apple isn't supposed to unveil the new phone for a few months, but someone supposedly lost it in a bar in Redwood City, Calif., and Gizmodo's owner Gawker Media seems to have bought it from whoever found it. So, there's no doubt Apple's aggressive legal department will be all over this one. (The company considers it "stolen," plugged-in Daring Fireball writer John Gruber says.)

Delivering the opening monologue for the Webby awards, The Office's B.J. Novak exposed Facebook's "most dangerous breach of privacy." "The 'what are you doing' bar and the 'search' bar should not be so close together, and they should not look so similar." Right on! As he explains, this causes all kinds of a

Google's Super Bowl commercial will be a brand ad for its search engine, John Battelle reports, not an ad for its Nexus One smartphone, as we had previously suspected. (Which, we'd still argue, makes much more sense.) This commercial is called "Parisian Love" and shows a person's search queries while romantic piano music plays in the background.

Why Would Anyone License Palms WebOS When Android Is Already The | on web ->

Palm CEO Jon Rubinstein is considering licensing his WebOS platform to other hardware makers, he tells the FT. This after his turnaround effort has stalled and Palm's best hope appears to be an acquisition -- if it can find a buyer. But it's hard to see how licensing will be a success for Rubinstein and Palm. The biggest problem is that Google Android is running away as the non-Apple mobile platform leader, and we don't know any reasons why a company would prefer to pay Palm to rent WebOS instea
