Gmail teasing users...

... with new features. In the past, a red 'New Features' link in the upper right menu showed us what was changed. Right now, that link is there, too, but it only says that new features are about to come soon. Now let's see what they have for us...

apple.com/startpage

ThinkSecret reports that livepage.apple.com will be replaced next week. Apparently, the new page will be centered around Apple's own Hot News and their products and services (.Mac, probably). You can already take a look.

Steve (the other one) bashes iPod users

... as MP3 stealing crowd, as you can read here on TheRegister. Maybe our Steve (Jobs) should bash that other Steve (Ballmer) in public, too, sometimes? A good ol' spanking would do, too. MTV Celebrity Death Match would surely be funny for us, too... Or let me put it differently: It's not a news day in the Mac world, really. But SpaceShipOne has apparently taken the X-Prize. I'm tired. ;) Oh, and Jason Deraleau at O'Reilly writes a better comment about this iPod thing. He probably didn't work that much before writing it. He still used the same 'other' joke to refer to the Steves (and even included Wozniak). But I saw that only after I first posted this story... ;)

Flash iPod no-go?

TheRegister updates the story about SigmaTel and Apple. Obviously, SigmaTel has announced a deal with Rio this past weekend. So: The source for the flash iPod rumour obviously was led down the wrong path somewhere. Doesn't mean Apple can't do a flash iPod all the same, but kinda defies the original rumour.
