Update: This is just a mockup of the device. See the more details link.

Parallels 8 Upgrade for Existing Users
Existing customers can now upgrade to Parallels 8. It's not a free upgrade, but still a good upgrade. For non-existing customers, if you're not familiar with this application, it let's you run Windows (and other operating systems) alongside OSX. This can be good for new Mac users that still prefer the familiarity of Windows. It can also help if some applications aren't supported by OSX.

Should Apple Create an IOS Camera?
Would you buy a camera that takes great pictures with IOS on it to do even more? I think it's an interesting idea, but not one that I have ever thought about. Personally, I prefer to have one device that does a lot of things like the iPhone or iPad instead of carrying multiple devices. I'm sure there are aspiring to professional photographers that want a better camera option than the iPhone. Perhaps, this is what they need.

Project Red Bumper for iPhone 4/4S
Apple released a Project Red bumper for the iPhone 4/4S in support of the Aids campaign. Some people question why this was released with the new iPhone release expected soon. Though I would like to think everyone will upgrade to the new iPhone, the reality is the iPhone 4/4S may be offered at lower prices attracting buyers. People that buy the new iPhone will probably sell their current iPhone models so there should still be a customer base to purchase these bumpers.
