Kudos to PETA's PR team, which has managed to combine its usual "naked celebrity" news peg with an additional "too hot for Apple!" news peg, thereby capitalizing on the internet's top two obsessions, porn and iPhones. Well done.

In Sex and the City 2, the Mickey Mouse of bachelorettes will be married and menopausal. Will she suffer the indignity of a lame computer, too? An "elaborate" product placement deal with Hewlett-Packard threatens Carrie Bradshaw's omnipresent MacBook.

Gray Powell, the Apple software engineer who left his next generation iPhone at a bar, sure likes to go out drinking. And play with his iPhone. And take pictures! Thanks to TwitPic, there's this: the Geek Joker (happier times).

In the past three years, Apple CEO Steve Jobs has battled liver disease, undergone transplant surgery, and returned to run the multi-billion dollar company he co-founded. Now he's pushing for a state bill that may revolutionize California's organ donor system.

Oh good! Jobs is cool with theft in media. Like, metaphorically... All this bruhaha about who stole what from who in what Deutsche bier haus puts this 1994 interview in a whole new light.

Yesterday our friends at Gizmodo broke the news about Apple's next iPhone. Today, they've been all over our televisions: Good Morning America, The View, Morning Joe and The Today Show for starters. All of these videos and more, inside.

This morning, Gizmodo showed you the unannounced/unreleased next generation iPhone, which they obtained after it was left behind at a bar in Redwood City, California. Now, Gawker.TV has the desperate voicemail pleas that Steve Jobs left shortly thereafter. Video inside.

Unemployed techies, take heart: At least your soul isn't being shredded by an awful job. It sounds like that's the case with Macintosh co-inventor Andy Hertzfeld, who says acclaimed employer Google has smothered him and drained him of creative joy.

Apple's "iAd" program looks more sinister every day. It's not enough that Steve Jobs' company gets an exclusive cut of spending on iPhone mobile charges, apps, songs, movies and TV shows; now it wants the cream of mobile advertising, too.

Apple delayed the international release of the iPad by one month, to the end of May, citing overwhelming domestic demand. Not that the world is necessarily hungry for the tablet-shaped embodiment of American consumerism: Israel just seized 10 iPads.

The iPad- so easy, even the adorable Iggy can use it.

Steve Jobs seduced New York's media moguls all too easily, convincing them his iPad would magically keep them in business — and in chauffeured limos. But nothing easy comes free, and the publishers' digital debt is now due.

[Here's a wonderful chart, Unboxing the iPad Data by John Kumahara and Johnathan Bonnell, showing that iPads are being sold mainly in urban areas. You should have gone to the Apple store in Omaha. No lines! [via]

No one buys music anymore. So what to do if you're a pop band trying to make it big? It's simple — whore yourself out to any company that will give you cash. And start flash mobs for Oprah.

In one month, four workers have attempted suicide at the Chinese factory Apple hires to make products like the iPad. Why? It's a mystery, but it's also easy to make some educated guesses about what's got workers going nuts.

You know how when you fly, you have to remove your laptop from your bag before you put it through the X-ray machine, to prevent bombings and such? Well, the iPad will be exempt from that little precaution.

Kids these days. They can pick up new pieces of tech and browse through them like a pro. This iPad wunderkind's first experience with the machine shows how intuitive it can be. Another Apple Fangirl is born.

It would appear we've giving people flashbacks: Readers are still sending us their Steve Jobs sightings. According to the latest batch, the Apple CEO detests a certain partner company, hangs with Larry Ellison and refuses special hospital blankets.

Today on Regis and Kelly, Regis declared that he was now "part of the internet" and showed off his new iPad, which he is of course competely powerless to use.
