iPhone 4 to Go on Sale at Wal-Mart
While I wouldn’t expect any extra low prices, the iPhone 4 will be populating your favorite Wal-Mart on June 24th. Best Buy is also expected to carry the phone on launch day, so pick the better of the two evils if you decide to venture amongst the Apple loyal.

The Macally Bookstand, A Microfiber iPad Cover
I recently got my hands on a Macally Bookstand, which is a hot commodity right now. Apple’s own case isn’t bad – it seems some owners have better luck with it than others – but I wasn’t impressed with the sturdiness & balance of Apple’s stand. Instead, I wanted to opt for a svelte alternative that gave me access to the iPad’s entire screen. The Bookstand fits the bill nicely.

Buzzie for Google Buzz. Reviewed.
I’m slowly rediscovering Google Buzz. I know, I know: it’s not Twitter. And yes, yet it looks so damn similar to it. Google Buzz is one of those things Google launches and then forgets about, but it turns out that there are many interesting users to follow on Buzz who daily share a plethora of cool links, Scobleizer being one of them. So I decided to give it a try and go look for some applications to use with it.
I stumbled upon Buzzie from Alberto Garcìa Hierro and I have to say it’s pretty good app for Google Buzz.

US Addressing Cybersecurity as a High Priority after AT&T Breach
It’s been all over the news – a breaking story at Gawker (in which Ryan Tate poorly labeled this as an Apple security breach) lead to the confusion and uproar of many as AT&T has failed to protect the privacy of their customers. With the iPad ICC ID’s and their owners on display with a simple PHP script, the US Federal Commissions is stepping up their game in order to address online security.
Publishers Losing Money on Developing iPad Apps, Will Scribd Save the Day?
Publishers may have an uphill battle to face when it comes to developing on the iPad. The entire business of Editorial magazines and newspapers is focused around something tangible – it’s focused on printed content. I assume that a lot of these traditional business are interested in developing and publishing content for the iPad (in an app), but don’t know how to approach the new, digital world. They are completely out of their league.
But for Wired, they’ve already been dealing in digital content for years. They have the advantage in understanding how customers will interact with digital products. As we’ve seen with Time’s latest demo, their digital magazine may become a navigational nightmare.
