Apple has come under criticism for gathering information on iPhone users’ locations and movements. The information is gathered from cell-phone towers and Wifi access points and relayed back to Apple’s servers. Your iPhone is tracking your every move, and here’s an animation illustrating how evil Steve Jobs really is on collecting your data.
Apple has released a firmware update for the mid-2010 iMac systems (both 21.5- and 27-inch models) that addresses a problem where the systems were not booting properly. The update is a small 767KB download that should be available through Software Update for relevant system.

Auto Location is a new tweak that automatically toggles your iPhone’s Location Services Off when you’re not using an app that requires GPS.

Verizon Wireless has announced its latest Android 2.2 device, the HTC Droid Incredible 2 smartphone.

Google has announced the WebM Community Cross-License Initiative, a consortium of companies that agree to share any patents that those companies may hold that are relevant to the WebM video format, and in particular the VP8 video compression algorithm. Desktop media players like Winamp are beginning to embrace WebM. And, perhaps most crucially, chip makers like Intel are working to add WebM support at the hardware level.
Nokia announced the Symbian^3 powered Nokia E7 at the Nokia World 2010 in London. This handset comes with a large 4 inch touchscreen display and a slide-out QWERTY keyboard.

CCleaner (Crap Cleaner) is a freeware system optimization tool that removes unused and temporary files from your system, allowing Windows to run faster, more efficiently and giving you more hard disk space.

In today’s Ccleaner 3.06 update support for everyone’s non-finalized standard, HTML5, has been bolted on.
Video-calling has been available on Android for a while but only in its prime form – 3G video calls, which are charged by the minute by your carrier. Well, the latest rumor suggests that we’ll be getting Android 2.3.4 at the conference with baked-in video calling. The rumors come from a tweet from “someone who works with Samsung.
According to MacRumors the next MacBook Pro will have a new case design. Take that with a grain of salt, since Apple never officially confirms or denies anything until they have a product to release, and the normal spring revisions that the MacBook Pro normally sees are 10 months away.
