Apple denies the rumor, but that hasn't stopped our favorite animated news source from speculating how the incident might have transpired.

Vanity Fair will bow to Silicon Valley in its October issue, which will see the magazine's annual list of the 100 most influential people in the world. Lo and behold, Mark Zuckerberg takes the number one spot: "This year Vanity Fair anoints Zuck as our new Caesar.

While his classmates probably admired comic book heroes and professional athletes, Christian Owens, a U.K. teen, looked up to somebody real -- Steve Jobs -- and it paid off for him. According to SWNS, taking inspiration from the Mac magnate, Owens made his first $1 million in just two years by creating two wildly popular Web start-ups. He got a Mac, learned basic Web design, and started his ...
As recently as last fall, Yoko Ono said The Beatles' songs would finally be available in the iTunes Store -- only to be quickly shot down by EMI, which licenses the band's material. Now, she is squashing any hopes that we'll ever be able to download recordings by the Fab Four in Apple's store. According to a Reuters report on Yahoo! News, Ono said that you Beatlemaniacs shouldn't "hold your ...

Google Chrome forcefully and successfully entered the browser battle in 2008, but its overall market share subsequently took a significant dip as the initial excitement waned. Chrome's popularity has certainly rebounded, though, and it has now surpassed Apple's Safari as the third most popular browser in the U.S. Internet Explorer ...
Having trouble finding a signal with your new iPhone 4? Apple says it's probably your own fault.
As it turns out, if you hold the phone in a way that blocks the iPhone's bottom left-hand corner, you might experience technical difficulties. Responding by e-mail to a frustrated iPhone 4 user and Engadget reader, Steve Jobs reportedly said, "Just avoid holding it that way."
