Jailbreak with Absinthe for Mac Jailbreak with Absinthe for Windows Jailbreak with Absinthe for LinuxIs This a Photo of the Next iPod Nano?
It seems like it's raining spy shots today. Hot on the heels of the purported iPad 3 photo BGR leaked this morning comes an image of, what several folks are calling, the next iPod nano.
Leading up to Apple's Fall iPhone/iPod event last year, we heard a number of rumors that the next iPod nano would feature a camera. And although the refreshed device never surfaced, it appears that the product still very much exists...
Samsung Big Game Teaser Teases Apple Fanboys
You might have heard Samsung is spending big bucks to have a TV commercial air during the next Super Bowl. They're so excited that they can't help bragging about it all over the web, just like a high school girl who just scored a prom date with the star quarterback.
Trying to generate buzz prior to the big day, Samsung released a teaser that, as usual, makes fun of Apple fanboys for standing in line to get the new iPhone. Of course, Samsung wouldn't have such a problem since no one actually ever had to get in line to buy a Samsung phone. That's how popular they are...

And there's nobody pulling for that to happen more than Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster. Munster has been the source of several "iTV" rumors over the past couple of months, and now he's back with more gossip...
Most of Your iPhone is Actually Made in the US
Last week, The New York Times ran a controversial piece on the poor working conditions inside the factories of Apple's supply chain. The report detailed awful labor practices including mandatory 60+ work weeks and hazardous working environments.
One of the many questions that arose in the wake of the article is, "why doesn't Apple just make its products here in the USA?" That would mean more jobs for Americans, and labor laws to protect the workers. But what many folks don't realize is that a lot of Apple's handset is already made in the US...
