While Microsoft is slanted to talk at this year’s WWDC, what will it be about? Analysts suspect that Microsoft will be chatting about their new Visual Basic development tools for the Mac platform, but a bold few suggest it’s about Bing. While I wouldn’t keep your hopes up, there’s a rumor flying around that Bing might be replacing Google as the search provider on the iPhone once the next version lands this summer. Even though Google has become Apple’s new and latest threat, Google has a lot to lose when it comes to the amount of people who are exposed to their search engine; Google’s not going to let Apple shake hands with Microsoft.

New Apple TV Isn’t Tethered to iTunes
So this new Apple TV. It doesn’t have USB, or a 30 pin connector as far as we know. But can you sync your own content? The answer is: yes you can.
Opera Makes Fun of Google With a Potato and a Fish Fight
Remember when Google published a video about the speed of the new Google Chrome a couple of weeks ago? Opera has fired back today, making fun of Google’s video with, well…another video detailing how Opera is indeed faster than cooking a potato.
Perhaps their next video should be focused on the speed of their iPhone version? Check it out after the break.
Next Apple TV Revealed?

OpenFeint is Huge, Boasts 25 Million Users
OpenFeint: 25 Million Users. Apple’s Game Center: 0. Gaining a huge follower-ship in a relatively short amount of time, OpenFeint spans 85 Million Devices under 1900 App Store games. That’s pretty impressive, and TUAW reports OpenFeint will be Game Center compatible, allowing one to transfer stats to the new service. A private message to investors, “This is where you should spend your iPhone play money.”
Apple Quicktime Patent Could Axe iTunes Playback
So let’s say you go online to watch a movie trailer at trailers.apple.com. When that beautiful HD trailer loads, it’s of course done through Quicktime. But imagine if you actually wanted to buy the movie, but didn’t want to be redirected to iTunes. Well, Apple is certainly considering that position: allowing you to go from trailer to movie right in your web browser. Pretty cool huh? It’d certainly be more convenient.
Android vs. iPhone vs. RIM: Enterprise Edition
Honestly I’m not one to think of an Android phone being used by corporate, Blackberry toting business men and women. Considering Android devices don’t have the greatest in Exchange support or any super awesome security features, I don’t know if I could even seriously consider it. While I’m sure some companies have looked into this ‘open-source’ platform, I wouldn’t waste my time on something so young. The iPhone is getting better at these features, and we’ve even talked about how companies are starting to adopt the sleek little phone. Then again, the iPhone still doesn’t live up to a respectable Blackberrry in the eyes of the corporate.
Adobe Wants To Know If You’d Like PSD Viewing on the iPad
John Nack, former Adobe Photoshop Product Manager, has published a new entry on his personal weblog, asking if you’d like to be able to view .PSD files on the iPad.
“I periodically hear requests for the ability to view Photoshop PSD files on devices like the iPad (for example, browsing files that one has synced via Dropbox).
This is obviously a capability that Adobe could build. The question of course is whether we should build it (as opposed, say, to building something else).”
Sure that would be a great option for web designers on the go, that are now forced to export files to .pdf to preview them to clients. Would you like to have this feature? Go comment.
