A slew of iPod cases in China have been pictured, showing off possible camera features and dimensions of the next generation in the devices. Cult of Mac has a ton of photos of the alleged cases showing them in a variety of styles and colors but one thing is for sure: Each case has the holes in the same place on the back. This gives some solid leverage to the photos and the fact that most cases, and even iPhone hardware, are made directly in China makes the slide from "rumor" to "news" even faster.

Wolverine leaked, Hulu swaps ads for questions
Movie piracy is something studios have been dealing with for years, but most piracy occurs well after a movie's big screen debut, typically when a film hits the DVD shelves. Now, with X-Men Origins: Wolverine, an unfinished version, likely taken from a post-production house, hit BitTorrent a full month ahead of its theatrical debut. Should the movie industry brace for every release to hit early, or is this a one off instance? We talk to Scott Kirsner, columnist and author of Fans, Friends and Followers: Building an Audience and a Creative Career in the Digital Age, and Rich DeMuro, host of the Synched Up Show. Also, while Hulu may not have the best relationship with Boxee, that doesn't mean the company is totally stuck in its ways. We talk about how Hulu might be looking to prop up sagging video ad revenue with targeted market research questions, so rather than watch a 30 second ad, users would have to answer a question. Will it work? We're split, but we all agree that it's not a bad thing to be creative in a down economy.
