Dropb... er, iCloud, Sorry, Goes Live!
This week Apple’s remote storage solution Dropb... uh, iCloud goes live. Users will finally have a place to remotely store files and retrieve them from a multitude of devices. Much like they have been able to do for the past 2 or 3 years.

Adobe Introduces Edge For HTML 5 Which Is Definitely Not Going To Replace Flash
Adobe began releasing information on their new Adobe Edge product which will output HTML 5 animation and effects.

This is in no way signifying the demise of Flash. Seriously. Flash is fine. Everyone loves it and it will be around for a long time.

Carriers Now Testing The iPhone 5
Carriers have been supplied with iPhone 5 test units for testing. The units come in a secured box delivered by two Navy SEALs who must stay with the phones at all times.

The tester must recite a complex cypher of letters and numbers to the SEALs who will then insert coded keys and enter a remotely-provided decryption key which opens the box. Upon opening the box the test subject is given a retinal scan and the phone is finally unlocked for use.

Included in the box is a personal note from Steve Jobs stating that if this unit is left in a public place and leaked to a media outlet he will personally show up and blow your brains out with a Sig P226 9mm pistol.

Sega Re-Releasing The Genesis
Sega announced Monday that they would be re-releasing the 16-bit Sega Genesis Console and would support it for the rest of eternity.

“We realized that the Genesis was outrageously successful and was easily our best console. Don’t fix it if it ain’t broke? Am I right? ”

The new Genesis will debut in November for $229 and will be a combination of the Sega Genesis, Sega 32x, and SegaCD.

When asked why they are re-releasing the Genesis rather than creating a Dreamcast 2, P.R. Executive Will Birkshore grabbed my hand and tore my pinky off.
