NY Times Exec's Apple Tablet Flub, NASA Lands on the iPhone

by Warren Riddle on October 26, 2009 at 11:30 AM


Highlights from this morning's other big tech headlines....
  • Although Apple has yet to officially confirm the development of a so-called Tablet, Bill Keller, the Executive Editor of the New York Times, may have accidentally revealed knowledge of the e-reader's existence. His apparent admission, which took place during an internal Times presentation, was caught on video and quickly distributed to various media outlets, proving that not much is "off-the-record" these days.

  • Pixcetera, astronauts on Twitter, and the NASA Web site provide space nerds with thousands of incredible and awe-inspiring photographs. NASA has now eliminated the need to explore those various sites, though, with an awesome new iPhone app that can feed your cosmos fix with photos, videos, mission updates, and billions and billions (well, maybe not billions) of other options. [From: Wired]
  • Hip-hop star Flo Rida will soon debut the video for his song 'Touch Me' on a wholly appropriate Web site, even though the site is definitely not known for sharing music. The video will be released on the Penthouse-owned AdultFriendFinder.com, the "world's largest adult sex and swinger site." [From: The Wall Street Journal]
  • Thanks to the Information Age, hungry consumers no longer have to wait until four in the morning on Black Friday to discover the day's best shopping deals. They just have to monitor the Web for leaked documents, like the one last week which prompted Office Depot to distribute Cease and Desist letters. [From: Reuters and Mashable]
  • Amazon announced its free 'Kindle for PC' app last week, and now rumors are circulating that an app will also be created for Macs. If Apple will ever actually release its own heavily rumored, and previously mentioned, Tablet, a seriously entertaining corporate battle should unfold. [From: TUAW]
