With All Things D's big conference currently going on, Tim Cook took to the stage to be quizzed by Walt Mossberg and Kara Swisher. Just as Steve Jobs had done on occasions before, Apple's new CEO spoke candidly about a whole range of things, and videos are currently being added to the D10 Conference website showing the conversation in glorious Technicolor.

Oliver Haslam has written about technology for over a decade. His work has been published in print at Macworld and online pretty much everywhere else. If it plugs in or has a battery, it's fair game.
When the Apple Store went down around the globe this morning, for some seven hours no less, we all hoped that we would see something new and shiny when it reappeared. The much rumored and hotly anticipated new MacBook Pros were high on our wishlist, but alas, when we hit refresh on our web browsers one last time, we were met with much the same store we had seen beforehand.
Microsoft's Xbox 360 has received yet another shot in the arm, with a new player coming online in the instant content streaming portion of the console's developing world. Having already outed a PlayStation 3 app, Amazon has now seen fit to bring Xbox 360 owners under its wing, allowing those with both an Xbox LIVE Gold account as well as an Amazon Prime subscription to stream movies and TV shows instantly.
Some detective work by a popular online gaming blog has turned up some potential evidence that a new Avalanche game, Just Cause 3, is on for a release alongside Microsoft's next Xbox console, with a PlayStation 4 versions also to begin development.
If you were thinking of picking up a Nokia Lumia 900 and happen to live in the UK, then you may wish to hold off on that purchase for a little while, with some interesting news coming out of the Finnish phone maker. In fact, if you're also a fan of the super awesome Batman, then you'll definitely want to hold your horses.
How many times have you forgotten to send an email, make a phone call or send a text message? If you're anything like us, then you're probably forgetting way more often than you are remembering. It's pretty important stuff, too. Forgetting to send a happy birthday text can cause more trouble than you would ever imagine, and we've all been there.
The Xbox 360 is getting a little long in the tooth these days, leading to rampant speculation about what the next version of the hugely popular console will be like. The biggest question though, without doubt, as to be when we will be able to get our hands on the new console. When will the Xbox 360 be retired?
Rumors are just that, rumors, and the iPhone 5 is currently in the middle of more than its fair share. It is par for the course for any big Apple hardware release, but the rumor mill seems to only intensify as each year goes by. The latest to be bandied around is the suggestion that the next iPhone will be the first to feature a new screen, with not just more pixels but more inches, too.
Keeping track of your finances is never an easy thing, especially for us geeks. We are always buying apps, coffee and all the other trappings of being a geek. It's an expensive business, even before you start factoring in all the phones, computers and tablets we like to keep buying.
Today sees something of an oddity, for two high-powered CEOs and an army of legal help will sit down and try to thrash out an end to one of the longest, most tedious legal battles we can think of. There may be blood!
