Looking for the most badass case money can buy? Look no further than “Vapor” for the iPhone.

I’ll tell you what, they should make an app for that.

We know that both Google and Apple collect anonymous data about your phones when we use them. But Eric Schmidt from Google has one pressing thing to say: “You can trust us.”
Pressure Sensitive Drawing on iPad [Video]
Ten One Design, makers of the Pogo Sketch, posted a demo video of their latest creation, a pressure-sensitive sketching software for the iPad that allows you to draw on screen with a stylus and it’s able to capture different levels of pressure from that stylus.

Boy Genius Report: iTunes Cloud and Wireless Sync Coming & Hints at New Camcorder/Camera Devices
The Boy Genius Report just got a pretty interesting scoop concerning iTunes cloud services. Laid out:
1.) Streaming music and movies from Apple’s servers to your computers, devices, etc.
2.) Streaming music and movies from your home computers to your other computers, remote devices, etc.
3.) Wireless iTunes syncing with devices
I’m very excited for all three. I was trying to pick one, but all three are just too awesome.
Pulse Mini for iPhone Available in the App Store
Pulse is an innovative and great looking visual news reader for iPad, which has quickly become one of the most popular apps in the App Store - even after Steve Jobs praised it and the New York Times managed to force Apple to temporarily remove it.
The Alphonso Labs developers decided they wanted to do things bigger though, so they started working on an iPhone version of Pulse - Pulse Mini.
Mozilla to be on your iPhone soon via Firefox Home
So what exactly is Firefox Home? It’s your Firefox history, bookmarks, and open tabs right on your iPhone. So between sessions and saved goodies on your Mac and Windows versions of Firefox, you can take it with you via Mozilla’s newest iPhone app. Pretty cool huh? But keep in mind this isn’t a true sync: things only get pushed one way to the iPhone. Still, it’s pretty nifty if you want to take everything with you. Oh, and it was just submitted to be approved or denied by the overlords at Apple headquarters.
Apple Sued Over iPhone 4 Antenna & Reception Problems
So what do you do when you can’t hold a device as advertised? Like any good American, we sue. Three class-action complaints were filed in the states of California, Maryland, and Texas; AppleInsider reports, “Apple has been accused of violation of the Federal Communications Act, three counts of products liability related to negligence, defect in design and breach of implied warranty, intentional and negligent misrepresentation, fraud by concealment, unfair business practices and more.”
Steve Jobs Intervenes and Confronts Customer on iPhone 4 Antenna Issue
Steve Jobs is pretty awesome when it comes to handling customer emails. I admit I might be more prone to send something long winded and terse back to my most brash adversaries, but Jobs is always as cool as a cucumber. Fortunately it’s not a journalist this time, but instead some dude getting worked up over the iPhone 4’s antenna issues.
But this dude had a youtube video which an Apple engineer saw. So the engineer contacted ‘Tom’ (as Boy Genius names him -later called out as Jason Buford), and as with everyone else, Tom was told the antenna problem was a non-issue. The most arrogant trollish rage ensues in the emails, but Steve Jobs himself eventually intervenes with a confident nerve and appropriate demeanor.
