Apple did a brisk business despite all the bad press. Over one million iPhones were sold this weekend. Last year it took them over 70 days to sell that many. Over 10 million applications were downloaded from the app store too. But some developers think that some of their creations are crashing because 2.0 firmware isn't a solid foundation. Other developers are angry because companies are cheating by putting a space or an asterisk in front of their app names to push them to the top of iTunes.

iPhones are everywhere but what about a G-Phone. Not so fast - there's no such thing - just the Android platform. But Google's got some unhappy developers too... they want to know where their SDK update is.

Meanwhile, maybe that swastika was a hack on the Google trends page - or maybe it was a traditional Buddhist and Hindu symbol - but the latest message on there seems loud and clear.

Ebay may have been defeated in France, but here they are victorious. They won their case against Tiffany & Co. The court says it's not up to Ebay to police counterfeit goods.

How about a robot that can set the table and then clean it up? Doesn't that sound nice? It can even teach other robots how to do it too!

Did you see that in the sky? What? THAT! Oh, it's not a UFO. It's Art.

Don't forget! I'm looking for your opinion on what drives you up the wall about technology. What's your pet peeve?
