Let's get all of the Apple rumors out of the way at once, shall we? (Deep breath.) Are they going to: Add iTunes Store functionality to the AppleTV? Add movie rentals to the iTunes Store? Bid on the 700MHz spectrum? Open another flagship store in Brooklyn? Name T-Mobile as their German partner on the iPhone? Ach du Leiber! So, even though Apple, once again, dominated the rumor mill, there is life outside of Cupertino. For instance: Is the relationship between Google and FireFox dead if Mozilla doesn't stop supporting ad-blocking extensions? Is Sony trying to raise itself from the dead (or, at least, poor, poor, POOR profits) by dropping the price on the PlayStation 3 just in time for the holidays? And will Christian Bale be dropping enemy soldiers as Solid Snake in the Metal Gear movie? Questions, Questions, Questions! Jeff Somogyi
