DOJ could sue Apple as early as Wednesday over eBook pricing

Reuters is reporting tonight that the US Department of Justice could file a lawsuit against Apple as early as tomorrow morning over its iBook Store. The store utilizes an 'agency' model, which allows publishers to name their own eBook prices.

Siri speaks Hindi with a little help from a proxy server

Last month, Apple released iOS 5.1 to the masses. The update included few new features, but it did bring Japanese Siri support. This brought the digital assistant's number of compatible languages up to a whopping... four.
