Every time I forget that at one point in time Apple planned to release a white version of the iPhone 4 a new rumor pops its ugly little head and makes me get all worked up for nothing. So I am going to channel my inner Don Draper and write a formal resignation from following the white iPhone (if you don't know what I mean when I say channel my inner Don Draper watch Mad Men Season 4 Episode 12: "Blowing Smoke").

If you walk into any mall today, no matter how bad of a mall it is, you will find an apple store. Seriously I bet you can't even remember the last time you walked into a mall and didn't see an apple store, in fact I dare you to find a mall that doesn't have one of those giant glass shrines to Steve Jobs. Almost a year ago, on October 22, 2009, Microsoft launched its own store that sells... well honestly I can only guess what they sell because there are only 4 of them and they are all out west in places that I...

Reported by Japan's SPA! Magazine - the famous CEO was denied access to his own private plane when he attempted to board the plane with throwing stars in his carry-on. Job's apparently said something along the lines of "it wouldn't make sense for a person to try to hijack their own plane." He continued by telling officials that he would never visit Japan again!
