Aaron Nelsen,
Apple,
Rumors Geeksugar is reporting that Apple is set to unveil an update to their iMac lineup as early as next week, and other industry insiders seem to agree. The ever modest folks over at Geeksugar were very quick to point out that they did correctly predict the last MacBook/MacBook Pro refresh, so this has to be legit…
Details of what the update includes are merely speculaive at this point, but it would seem logically that they would include the new Penryn processors, as well as larger hard drives.
Guess we’ll find out for sure Tuesday.

Aaron Nelsen,
Facebook,
Facebook Chat,
iPhone,
iPod touch After posting on how to run Facebook Chat from your Firefox sidebar, I got to thinking about the other potential usages of popout.php. More specifically, using it as a browser based chat client on the iPhone.  Sadly though, Facebook has neglected to allow iPhone/iPod touch users the ability to run Facebook Chat from Mobile Safari. Lame!
Anyhow, with my limited programming skills I’m toying with a way around this, but don’t expect any miracles since I don’t really plan on using Facebook Chat all that often.

AT&T,
Aaron Nelsen Sweet mother, AT&T might be looking to suck just a little bit less by offering femtocells to end users for as little as $100. As a reluctant AT&T user I would be willing to drop the extra $100 to improve my cell reception around the house.
According to a report floating around the internet, AT&T has plans to move up to 7 million femtocells acquired from UK-based firm ip.access. Of course, as the story inevitably goes, nobody is admitting to anything.
Couple the rollout of femtocells with AT&T taking over wireless hot spots at all Starbucks locations (formerly managed by T-Mobile) and suddenly AT&T has a nice little framework for a fraction of the normal deployment costs.
