The Apple Tablet is Dead http://www.cio.com/article/508290/The_Apple_Tablet_is_Dead?source=rss_mac Apple tablet rumors started verging into the ridiculous Thursday morning with reports that Apple has pushed back the project's launch date yet again.

After spending more than a year in a legal battle with Apple for selling Intel based systems pre-loaded with Mac OS X, the company lost its battle on Friday when a federal judge ruled in favor of Apple.

Don't Flatter Yourself http://www.cio.com/article/507516/Windows_7_Copied_From_Mac_Don_t_Flatter_Yourself?source=rss_mac It is the statement that has re-ignited the near-religious debate about whether the Windows user interface was copied from Mac. Define 'copied'. Adopting features that work is not new to Windows 7 or unique to the Windows / Mac debate--its just the way the world works.

But still, we don't have an official release for the Mac, and goshdarnit, Sergey's been asking for it since last year. What gives?
