Anyone going to bite on this deal?

With his contract to Apple now a thing of the past, we guess Justin Long's not the smug, overconsuming Mac archetype we'd always assumed. We've gotta give credit to a man who sticks it to his former employer by busting out of the walled garden as demonstrated by the Cydia icon's appearance on Long's iPhone during a visit to Jimmy Kimmel Live. Then again, jailbreakme made the process so easy even a hollywood actor could do it, so who knows.
Video embedded after the break. Skip ahead to the 7:04 mark for the evidence.
A theory has emerged in comments that the show's producer, not Justin, is responsible for the jailbreak. The idea is supported by the fact that Cydia and the TVOutTuner apps are sitting in what would typically be the most recently installed app positions (assuming all other screens are full), with the latter app required to mirror the iPhone's display on that big monitor.

Google's Chrome Web Store could be ready to launch by October of this year, suggesting that Chrome OS devices are likely on a similar schedule.
Google appears to be getting ready to let Web application developers start playing around with its Chrome Web Store, if a recent presentation at the Game Developer Conference in Europe is any indication. 1UP.com has a report out with pictures and video of Google's Mark DeLoura and Michael Mahemoff explaining how developers will be able to submit apps to the store, which was announced in May at Google I/O.
Most of the presentation was discussed during Google I/O, but a few interesting tidbits have emerged. Most importantly, it suggests that the Chrome Web Store will be ready to go in October of this year, implying that Chrome OS-based devices could be ready to go the same month. The only timing Google has provided to date about the launch plans for Chrome OS Netbooks has been "late fall."

Sony has come clean with the news about two new PlayStation 3 Slim capacity options - one of which is now available.
First up is the 160GB PS3 Slim, which is already available for purchase for $299.99. Compare that to the 120GB version that still sells for the same amount, so maybe that price will be slashed soon too.

I also want to do the same one”, “It’s not very common to have a tattoo on the back, and I like it” etc. It is known that BoA had gotten the tattoo during her activities in the States.

There’s still a debate about an iPhone launching on Verizon’s network some time next year. Some believe that it will launch as early as January, while analysts believe that it will be some time later in the first quarter of 2011. And, while rumors of Verizon obtaining the legendary Apple manufactured have popped up and died down over the years, there’s something about next year that definitely feels . . . Different. But, with the recent plague of “antennagate” issues swarming Apple since the launch of the iPhone 4, there’s been one question on people’s minds. If Verizon does get the iPhone, will Apple fix the antenna? In one expert’s eyes, that’s not going to happen.
