*

More pictures of the 4th generation iPhone! This time from a Vietnamese site. Endgadget has more.

Not the best news day for Apple: a report claims the iPad won't go mass market soon.

More Verizon Android tablet speculation. Who will make it? HTC? We think this tablet story is just Verizon getting leverage for a Verizon iPhone.
*

*

AMD brags it's gaining ground on Intel.
*

Funny comic of the day! Here's the sites The Oatmeal wants you to stop building.
