CrunchGear allegedly has the first photos on the Internet for the new 3G iPhone. According to Network World: From the TechGear description and looking at the pictures it's definitely thinner than the original iPhone and looks reminiscent of the MacBook Air. Gotta love the multiple colors and the "red" campaign branding. Looks like the "jesus phone" got an exterior upgrade to match it's new internals. Also, you can do video chat with your iPhone......

Already the Kool-Aid drinkers are lined up outside Moscone Center. Why? Because le Jobs is expected to give birth to the latest generation of the iPhone at today's (sold out!) Worldwide Developers Conference. The original iPhone launched less than a year ago on June 29, 2007. And speculation on the new 3G version runs high. Global positioning system (GPS) capabilities, video recording, an upgraded camera, performing fellatio, a virtual slide rule, and more space......

Forbes annual list of billionaires around the world came out today. Jealous? And for the first time in 14 years Warren Buffett (at $62 billion) snatched the number one spot from Bill Gates (who came in at a dismal $58 billion.) This post was created using Explorer, not Firefox, in condolence. But who, you ask, took the top spots for the Bay Area? Well, Oracle founder Larry Ellison (coming in at #14 with $25......

In addition to unveiling the MacBook Air, le Jobs also premiered a new look. Or not. Seamus over at Rangelife picked up on this minor broadcasting muddle over at KTVU. Dennis Richmond will not be pleased.......

Easy and compact, check out Apple CEO Steve Jobs' 90-minute keynote speech in 60 seconds. It's like the Golden Globes, only not as pretty or deadly important. And as you all know--waking up this morning to realize that, no, it wasn't all just a beautiful dream--the MacBook Air is upon us. In a bizarre moment of Jobs' continuing Trumpification, just moments after his speech to his denizens, Steve Jobs chirped to the New York......

OMG! It's the Nicole Ritchie of laptops! (Ritchie before she got fat and pregnant, that is.) It seems that the new MacBook Air, just unveiled a few hours ago, features multi-touch ability on its oversized trackpad, similar to that of the iPhone; some sort of crazy wirelessness; recyclable aluminum case; a mercury and lead free display; and you can buy the thing in two weeks, starting at around $1799. Read more about it here.......

Good Lord, what blog isn't over at Moscone Center today, getting moist over Steve Jobs? (We would be there, too, but it's positively glacial outside today. Burr.) Anyway, for those of you who care, here are some choice live-bloggy links to today to Macworld Expo 2008. Today, in case you're living under a rock (or have a life) is Steve Jobs keynote speech, and he just announced the holy presence of the new MacBook......

Can you feel it? The Macworld Expo 2008 approaches. Shhh, you might scare it. When your editor worked in the consecrated halls of Macworld, we were surprised by the ilk that attended the annual Macworld Expo - a bit like the Oracle World people, but minus the vile behavior and false sense of entitlement. let's see, we remember two clinically-obese Mac fans fainting while waiting in line to hear keynote speaker Steve Jobs introduce......

We duped ourselves into thinking iPhones weren't the work of God. But they are. And we want one. Bad. Real bad. Last week, we had the privilege of hanging with a few adorable, young lads, all on the cusp of innovative technology. And they all sported iPhones, thus an at-one-with-the-world glaze in their eyes. We have a stupid BlackBerry, so: constipation, tears. Steve Jobs -- who still boasts a decent shelf butt (see image)......

--What is going on in this town? There was a mob-style shooting near the 5th and Harrison 80 off-ramp this afternoon. Someone shot 17 bullets into a rented blue Dodge Charger around 1 p.m. today, as both cars were getting off the highway and stopped at a light. The shooters sped off up Fifth Street in a green minivan, which hit another car in the getaway. The victim suffered life-threatening injuries but is as......

MacWorld. Keynote. It's Steve's time. Look, the long-desired iPhone. How does Steve Jobs choose to showcase the new phone's music technology? By playing The Beatles' "Lovely Rita, Meter Maid." That's so gangsta. Why? This staged moment is Steve's announcement/flaunting of the fact that the long war between Apple Computers and The Beatles is effectively over. Steve won. And now the world's greatest rock band is Steve Jobs' prop. Apple Computer and The Beatles' Apple......

Apple today issued a statement proclaiming that its internal investigation found that Steve Jobs is innocent of everything. This despite the fact they know he attended a meeting that never happened. We would get all cynical and say that one should never trust internal investigations but one of the people behind the investigation and who issued the statement is Al Gore and, well, we love you, Al!!! Apple has also said they are making adjustments to their current financial statements to make up for discrepancies and that they are working with federal authorities to prove they've done nothing wrong. ...

More Apple-related news came out yesterday, as it appears maybe there might just be something going on over there other than what was originally thought. In a story in the Financial Times of London, it was reported that Steve Jobs received about 7.5 million in stock options in 2001 without getting the approval from the company's board. Records were then falsified to make it look like he did get the approval. Don't you love that Apple commercial where the Apple guy tells the PC guy how iLife makes forging documents that much easier to do? ...

Shares of Apple dropped today as a report in the SF legal paper, The Recorder, said that the Feds were looking into possible stock option sheninigans. If the next iPod commercial consists of the famous iPod silouhette donig the perp walk, you'll know why. ...

Yeah, we know, totally obvious title for the post -- they can't all be winners, okay? But you know who can all be winners? Apple and Creative Labs, who claim to have come to an "amicable" $100 million settlement of Creative Labs' claims of patent infringement against the iPod's technique of navigating through your songs (you know, push the middle button a bunch of times, and then scroll with your finger until you overshoot the......

Look! Up in the sky! It's... well, just a bunch of fog, apparently. People have been spending a lot of time looking to the tech world for heroes and personal saviors, only to have those illusions shattered when they realize all they're getting are software, search engines, and MP3 players. Leander Kahney of Wired News got some flak for his commentary about the relative merits of Steve Jobs vs. Bill Gates. He says that......

To the delight of headline writers throught the internets, two great SF Bay Area products now go great together, thanks to Levi's long-awaited announcement of the RedWire DLX Jeans.

Not everybody has love for Apple in their pants — a new update to iTunes was released and bloggers are......

The MacWorld Expo is going on all week at Moscone Center, and there's been all kinds of speculation going on about the internets concerning what Steve Jobs was going to unveil at his opening keynote address this morning. Rumors ranged from the "definite" unveiling of a new Mac mini-based home media PC (and we chomped on that rumor like a bass), to the "unlikely" announcement of a new Apple-branded HDTV. What actually happened was......

For the five of you who still listen to radio, the big question out there is who will replace Howard Stern. Howard, of course, is saying goodbye to free radio on December 18th and hello to pay radio. As befitting the self-proclaimed King of All Media, there won't be just one replacement, but a whole bunch of replacements. Unlike other stations that play Howard, Live 105 will not be going with the everywhere Adam Carolla.......

When we were a kid growing up in Seattle, we remember when Washington State tried to pass a law barring minors from purchasing music with Tipper Gore's infamous Parental Advisory stickers on them.
