open-source Linux OS to the iPhone and iPod touch. It doesn't

major step towards an all out war between Apple and hackers
everywhere.

Apple's app store has officially passed the 10,000 mark. There
are plenty of interesting stats to be found at 148 Apps
celebration page.


Microsoft has now sold more Xbox 360s than original Xboxes. While
it's not quite 25 million, Sony has sold over 17 million
PlayStation 3 consoles since its launch. So don't feel bad Sony
fanboys.


Atlantic Records has become the first major record label to pull
in more than half its revenue from digital content like MP3s and
cellphone ring tones. I knew that buying 8 million ring tones
would set more than one embarrassing record.


Nokia has given up trying to gain ground in Japan's mobile phone
market and has decided to only sell its luxury Vertu brand phones

Xiao digital camera with built in printer. Finally, a technology
