You’ve heard the debates on Flash vs HTML5. Steve Jobs hates flash blah blah blah. Enough bickering. From the Google I/O keynote: HTML5 support will be more or less complete on all “modern” browsers, says Google.

I’m assuming that means IE will have to wait? Is this the beginning of the death of flash? How will it affect cute cat videos? Is Steve Jobs laughing right now? So many questions.

Get ready to fill up your Chrome OS app page Google fans. Google just announced its new online web app store. Some of what they are showing off includes Dark Room for image editing, a nice version of TweetDeck, to name a few. Paid-for software will be offered. For instace Dark Room is $4.99.

For years, one of the top companies in the video card market for gamers and enthusiasts to shop with has been BFG. The company makes all sorts of unique and high-end video cards that are overclocked from the factory.

BFG has announced that it will no longer sell video cards. The reason according to the company is that the segment is no longer profitable. BFG will not bring new video cards to market.

Intel has always been worried that the robust sales and popularity of the Atom line of CPUs would draw buyers away from its more profitable and powerful CPUs. This fear lead to the Atom processors getting a screen size limit of 10.2-inches.

DigiTimes reports that Intel is lifting that screen size limitation on the new Atom N550. The N550 is a dual-core CPU set for release in the second half of the year.

One of the things that many iPhone users have wanted for a long time was the ability to tether their device to a notebook for 3G connectivity. Apple added that feature into OS 3.0, but AT&T blocked tethering on the device.

The first betas of iPhone OS 4 didn’t show any tethering features in the OS. However, a new OS 4 Beta 4 has surfaced that has some tethering features inside.

The first time I saw those HP web connected printers I wondered what the point was. I just don’t see anyone wanting to look up recipes or print movie tickets from the tiny screen on their printer when they can use the PC nearby more easily.

HP is now saying that it plans on bringing WebOS to its line of web connected printers. I still don’t see the point. I guess at least HP can point to the loot it spent on Palm and say see, we are using WebOS.

It’s the 30th anniversary of Gundam and to celebrate, Bandai has teamed up with Japanese network Softbank for a limited edition Gunpla phone. Each phone comes with a 1:100 scale Gundam model kit, a Gunpla phone cradle, and decals.

The phone itself is a 12.1MP OLED flip. This might be the best phone ever. Pretty Asian lady not included. We didn’t see anything on price, but obviously it’s expensive.

The Apple leaks just keep on trucking and leaking like a old faucet. Taiwanese site Apple.pro says that the next generation iPhone may come in an completely white version. According to them these photos are proof. It’s good enough for us. And besides, Apple has done it before.

But as we remember, most people wanted the black version. Maybe they just won’t bother offering the white one up in Australia this time around.

Tinhte, those folks from Vietnam have yet another Apple leak. The first pics of the iPod touch with a camera. The “DVT-1″ stamp on the back shows that this is an early design verification test unit in product testing. So this is probably not the final design. The device’s serial number identifies a late 2009 third generation iPod touch so it may be a prototypes that never made it to production.

The Foxconn label appears to indicate a 64GB model as well as a 2 megapixel, backside illuminated sensor made by Omnivision. The Apple rumors and leaks just keep coming.

This product’s website is not helpful at all. Good thing they have that image above, which shows you all you need to know about this device. It’s called the iAngle. Essentially it’s an earbud case and a mini iPhone stand in one.

It’s a pretty neat design even if it isn’t a world shattering gadget. It’s only $10 and probably works with other gadgets that are about the iPhone’s size.

Self-publishing has been possible through Amazon for some time now and it’s time for some healthy competition. Barnes & Noble has announced that it will open up a self-publishing portal this summer, called PubIt!. It will give unknown authors the ability to upload and sell their material through B&N’s website and eBookstore.

Details on the compensation model (or profit split) will be announced soon. And it won’t be limited to the Nook either. Almost any e-reader, tablet or PC will be able to get in and make purchases, so the potential audience for the author is large.

These USB Robots are available in six different colors and designs, like pink, red, black, light blue, gray and yellow.

Hulu’s May 24th “Hulu Plus” subscription will apparently miss its scheduled debut, according to sources. The company is planning a $9.95 monthly subscription package which would allow access to a back catalog of streaming content; but “people familiar with the company” are now saying that Hulu Plus is unlikely to be ready in time for a launch next Monday.

If the info is accurate, no one is sure if the delay is a technical one or due to ongoing negotiations with some content providers. Rumors are that Fox, ABC and NBC, who make up Hulu’s owners, are pretty well decided on what subscribers will get for the money, but we don’t have exact details.
