Remains of the Day: Two's company, three's a cloud

13.08.2011
Is Apple concocting an iPhone & iCloud sandwich? Rumors say “delicious.” Meanwhile, Apple Stores across the UK are clearing out their show floors as a precaution, and Nintendo’s investors are asking the company why it can’t be more friendly with that nice Apple boy down the street. The remainders for Thursday, August 11, 2011, are all over the place.

You love iPhone 5 rumors and you love iCloud, so what’s it going to take to make these two great-tasting rumors taste great ? Why, an iCloud iPhone, of course. This rumored device would be a cheaper (read: free with two-year contract) handset unveiled alongside the iPhone 5, but would use significantly less flash memory, instead relying on storing data—you guessed it—. Serious question: How do we know when the cloud is full? Is that when it starts raining everybody’s data?

Rioting and unrest in the UK this week has apparently led Apple to empty out some of its storefronts. According to reports on Twitter, Apple Stores in Machnester, Liverpool, and Kent have all divested their show floors of products to avoid looting. Either that, or Apple’s pulling some sort of “Emperor’s New Clothes” scheme.
