Apple is reportedly trying to get content producers (TV studios and the like) to agree to a plan by which Apple would offer an on-demand array of TV shows via its iTunes service to compete with cable. The plan would cost $30 month, significantly less than what you probably pay for cable or satellite. So far no headway has been made, though.

The upcoming 10.6.2 update to the Apple Mac OS Snow Leopard operating system torpedoes support for Intel Atom processors, presenting new challenges to the small but passionate community of hackintosh netbook owners.

Sprint today launched its WiMAX 4G network in Chicago, Dallas, and eight North Carolina cities: Charlotte, Durham, Raleigh, Winston-Salem, Chapel Hill, Cary, Greensboro, and High Point. The data plan costs $69.99 per month. Sprint has also begun selling the Dell Inspiron Mini 10 in Baltimore for $199.99.
