If you want an iPhone 4S, and you live in the U.S., you're going to have to get in line today. Online pre-orders are all sold out at U.S. carriers. And Apple's pre-orders are sold out, too.

According to Gartner, Apple experienced the strongest growth among the top five vendors in the U.S. PC market (not including the iPad) last quarter with shipments rising 21% on a yearly basis to garner the Mac maker a near 13% share. Depending on which analyst you believe, for the past 22 quarters Apple has seen growth 20-80x than the PC industry. At the same time, the world's obsession with the iPad took spending dollars away from PCs. HP is still the number one U.S. PC maker with 28.6% of the market, followed by Dell’s 21.9%. Read »

Apple In Talks With Hollywood To Bring Movies To iCloud (Los Angeles Times)
Watch out Netflix! Apple is said to be finalizing deals with movie studios that will allow the company to introduce movie streaming to iCloud for Macs and iOS devices. At present, only music, TV shows and apps are available. With the launch of iCloud, Apple allows users to redownload music and TV shows to any iOS device just like Apps. The service would be similar to Hollywood's recently launched UltraViolet product, though it would remove the requirement that customers purchase physical media before streaming content to their devices.

iCloud Is Bigger Than You Think (Gizmodo)
iCloud means never buying another computer and could also be the end of computing as we have known it. Computers remain folder and hierarchy based. iCloud ends all that. There are no more file systems and folders to manage. iCloud transforms machines into little more than a variety of screens we'll use to peek at data, in much the same way we use screens to peek in at TV shows. The logical end goal of iCloud is, of course, replacing the operating system itself. Read »
