    Maybe Woz was a fan of "That 70's Show"? Or is it just the fact that he's one of the nicest guys in Silicon Valley who's never disparaged another carbon-based life form? It will be interesting to see whether Kutcher can truly pull off the turtleneck and jeans. And more importantly, who will play Woz?

    This fall, Apple will tear down HP's iconic 1960s-era Executive Briefing Center to build its mega new headquarters there, reports eWeek. Could there possibly be a better symbol for the two PC makers in 2012? Apple bought the roughly 100-acre campus a year ago for a reported $300 million. There were practical reasons for this. It is adjacent to the a large swath of land that Apple bought in 2006. [Here's a video of Steve Jobs making the case to the Cupertino City Council to let Apple buy that parcel in 2006. It is entertaining to see how star struck the City Council was with Jobs.]

    The audience let out gasps and cheers as the Mountain View robot first struggled, but ultimately managed to balance with an opposing machine on the teeter-totter at the end of two matches on March 30. Some of those gasps and cheers were likely coming from Apple Computer co-founder Steve Wozniak, who was one of the competition's judges. Wozniak called the FIRST program is fantastic, saying it gives students the chance to learn in a way they couldn't in school.

    No one likes a thief who gets away with stolen items and especially not 8 year old Landon Crabtree. After a burglar broke into his family’s house to get away with the family’s iPad and a few other items, the family got insurance money for the lost goods. But Landon wasn’t going to stand for someone else having his iPad and used Apple’s free Find my iPhone to recover the iPad. However, that’s not the only thing police found.

    If it’s the elite of the world that influence the behavior of the masses, better book your hotel in China this year before rooms fill up. In the same week that the web and Twitter worlds have been following visits to China by Apple CEO Tim Cook and Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, it was announced today that yet another U.S. tech luminary will be coming to the Middle Kingdom:  Steve Wozniak, co-founder of Apple with Steve Jobs. Rather than spending all of his time with geeks, Wozniak will be in Shanghai to press the flesh with (yikes!) members of the International Council of Shopping Centers at the Retail Real Estate World Summit, a “multinational forum to address and shape the critical role and socio-economic impact of the worldwide property market.” Let’s hope Wozniak also finds time to inspire some Chinese geeks.   He has plenty of time to work on it: The conference will be held September 12-14.
