Rupert threatens Google: Who comes out on top?
Rupert Murdoch, owner of Fox News, the Wall Street Journal, Times of London, and essentially the publishing world, says he's going to pull all content from Google in an effort to curb the "theft" that the world's biggest search engine allegedly creates. Does the man have a point, or is he pointlessly behind the times? We ask Andrew Nusca from ZDNet, and Stuart Miles from Pocket-Lint.

Rumors spread about Apple Tablet: potential product or hearsay?
Yes... it's back again. More rumors about the Apple Tablet. This time, courtesy of iLounge who offered some extremely specific details. Among them? The new tablet will run on the iPhone OS, be 10.7 inches, and launch in January of 2010.
What's the odds that this will actually happen this time, and will people care about it? We talk to Andrew Nusca from ZDNET and Brian Heater from PC Mag.
What's your take, do you think the Apple Tablet will be worthwhile, or is it destined to be Apple's first portable flop? Sound off in the comments.

GMail goes down: Notable or not?
Yesterday, as we blogged about previously, GMail went down for about 100 minutes, putting the email inboxes of countless geeks in limbo. Users on Twitter took the bait, and as is usual, freaked out. Meanwhile, others played it cool on Facebook. Should we expect outages more frequently than they happen? How big of a problem is a lack of email? We talk to Andrew Nusca of ZDNET about the outage, and get his take on whether he's a pitchfork wielding member of the mob, or whether he's a calm and collected soul.
