Since we first heard that Steve Jobs had ‘cracked’ the code for an integrated Apple TV set, rumors have been going crazy about what Apple has planned.

News came out this week that Jeff Robin, the guy who helped develop the iPod and iTunes, is currently leading Apple’s secret TV projectlet’s just call this Apple TV set the “iTV.” Our imaginations then started running wild at the prospect of a TV that could be controlled using Siri, or maybe even 3D gestures.

Sprint CEO Dan Hesse recently made a few interesting comments about the iPhone on his network. Namely, Hesse noted that Android users put more of a strain on Sprint’s network than new iPhone owners.

Android apps are “more chatty” with the network, and iPhone apps do a better job of handling data via W-Fi networks and offloading information.  Due to the iPhone’s light footprint on Sprint’s network, the carrier plans to continue offering an unlimited data plan for the indefinite future.(...)

Nintendo reported a net loss of $923 million for the first six months of the fiscal year, revealing the drastic effect that the company’s stance on mobile games has produced.
