As MacWorld's Lex Friedman observed Tuesday in an article entitled White iPhone 4 available now, if you live in the future, writing new stories about Apple's (AAPL) mythical white smartphone gets harder with each delay.
Let's recap. The white iPhone 4 was ...

By Jon Fortt, contributor
While the rest of Silicon Valley buzzes about Facebook, Twitter, and tablet computers, networking-gear maker Cisco (CSCO) is betting big on Internet video.

Eric Schmidt's comments, whether jokes or a postmodern vision, are coming off creepy...and that is bad for Google.

As a giant of technology departs, it's time to start asking, what's next for Steve Ballmer's Microsoft?
When Microsoft (MSFT) announced Chief Software Architect Ray Ozzie would be moving on, some viewed it as another blow to a company with a bit of a vision problem. Ozzie was only the second person to be the company's CSA -- the first being founder Bill Gates, who took the role upon retiring as MORE
