Remains of the Day: I spy

24.09.2011
It's the end of the week, and there's plenty to spy: press events, source code support, and patent fights, oh my! The remainders for Friday, September 23, 2011 are seeking something blue.

(This is my next)

Apple won't be the only one (reportedly) introducing new hardware this fall: According to invitations received by This is my next and others on Friday, Amazon's set to unveil on September 28 in New York City. Details are slim, but general speculation is that the company plans to reveal its first tablet computer. Really, as long as they don't announce that Amazon is splitting its mail and ebook service in two and renaming the former, I'll be happy. (Nobody wants to order hardcover books from .)

(Ars Technica)

Lookie here: Apparently Apple has added support for a quad-core ARM processor into the compiler source code for Xcode, the company's app development program. What does this mean? Any number of things. My personal favorite: Developers have too much free time on their hands if they're digging through Apple's source code rather than actively working on their own applications.
