It has been several weeks since there was a fresh rumor about Apple's fabled tablet computer or a supposed netbook, so thank the maker that we now have new speculation about what Apple might be doing. According to a report from China Times (English translation), at least three companies connected to Apple's supply chain have received "direct orders" from Apple to build what is alternately referred to as either a netbook or a tablet.
The report seems to confirm an earlier rumor that Apple would be sourcing 9.7" touchscreens from Wintek for...

WTF! A Seattle man was arrested for taking a photo of an ATM being serviced:
"Today I was shopping at the downtown Seattle REI. I was about to buy a Thule hitch mount bike rack. They were out of the piece that locks the bike rack into the hitch. So I was in the customer service line to special order one. It was a long line and while I was waiting, I saw two of guys (employees of Loomis, as I later learned) refilling the ATM. I walked over and took a picture with my iPhone of them and more interestingly of the open ATM. I took the picture...

A Mexican toddler who came to the United States with his family on a visit has died in Texas of the swine flu, Texas officials said, as President Obama recommended that schools with confirmed or suspected cases of the disease “strongly consider temporarily closing.”
“This is obviously a serious situation, serious enough to take the utmost precautions,” Mr. Obama said.
Dr. David Persse, Houston’s director of Emergency Medical Services, said the 23-month-old child had traveled with his family from Mexico to Brownsville in south...
