Highlights from this morning's other big tech headlines....
- Apple is reportedly trying to patent technology that would allow it to remotely commandeer stolen iPhones, but its patent application apparently indicates that jailbroken or unlocked devices could also warrant the kill switch. [From: Engadget]
- Dish Network is officially introducing DishOnline tomorrow, and the streaming service will feature content from various networks, including Discovery Channel, HGTV and MTV. [From: The New York Times]
- Gizmodo's editor-in-chief (who played a prominent role in the missing iPhone 4 soap opera) recently received a comical lesson in irony after he left his own device behind after visiting a watering hole. (No, it's not karma.) [From: Daring Fireball]
- Consumer Electronics Association CEO Gary Shapiro has adamantly suggested that, instead of forcing all cell manufacturers to equip devices with FM radio capabilities, "broadcasters should man up, stop whining to Congress and start competing." [From: USA Today]
- In what has to be the most ridiculous movie adaptation announcement since, well, last June's 'Mafia Wars' revelation, developer Rovio is reportedly fielding offers for a potential 'Angry Birds' film. [From: TUAW and Reuters]
- 'Futurama' may have already cemented itself as the most genuinely and awesomely geeky show in the history of television, but it cast its title in bronze when staff writer Ken Keeler crafted a functional mathematical theorem for a recent episode. [From: Engadget]
