Bill Keller is the Executive Editor of The New York Times, so he ought to have some inside information about what the company is up to. And when speaking to an audience of fellow insiders, he named "the impending Apple slate" as one of the devices The New York Times plans to bring its digital content to.

Streaming movies and TV episodes from Netflix have been a source of bragging rights for Xbox 360 advocates, but Microsoft's exclusivity deal seems to have ended, as Netflix and Sony just announced that within a few weeks the PlayStation 3 will offer Watch Instantly content as well.

Facebook has revamped its "Share" feature, which folks with websites use to embed a button that helps readers share content with their Facebook friends. Like competing services, Facebook Share now shows a total share count so you can see how popular an item is on Facebook, along with a few back-end improvements.
