Fake rumor from a completely made up source who allegedly works for Apple (Go ahead, Apple, try tracking the source of the leak):
Apple will push another software update for the iPhone during “The Beat Goes On” special event on September 5th, 2007. This one is iPod and iTunes related.
This fake rumor might not be entirely false, who knows!

The news broke earlier today that Taiwan-based computer maker Acer will be acquiring Gateway Computer.
I have been purchasing Gateway computers for the past two years and happy with their service. On the other hand, I don’t really like Acer-branded computers for numbers of reasons. They are mostly personal reasons. For example, Acer shipped their computers running Windows XP with FAT-32 file format. Their computer design is far from being great.
Anyway, I currently have a pretty good business relation with Gateway, and I hope that it continues. Gateway has just recently moved portions of their assembly factory back into the United States. The latest computer I purchased direct from Gateway was assembled in the US.
By acquiring Gateway and its subsidiary, Acer is now the third largest PC company in the world.
