Jonny Evans: Reuters makes small, cheap iPhone nano rumor The iPhone is definitely coming, and the latest rumor claims Apple is cooking up a smaller, cheaper flavor iPhone to accompany introduction of iPhone 5 -- could this be the iCloud phone? Read More Richi Jennings: iPhone 5 release date, other rumors It's time to round up the iPhone 5 release date rumors and all the other Apple chatter about this ridiculously-anticipated pomaceous device.

Read More Darlene Storm: Judge: Warrant required for cell phone location data, mentions Orwell's 1984 We have our cell phone close by at all times but that doesn't mean we choose to have our location tracked. A judge ruled that a warrant is required, denied the government's motion, and even referenced Orwell's "1984" in his refusal. CA passed a cell phone privacy bill and a Maryland court refused to issue a fishing expedition warrant.

Jonny Evans: Samsung's Apple iPad Kubrick defense looks bad Samsung concedes that Apple is leading the innovation space race and goes all sci-fi to say it didn't copy the iPad at all, not now and not never. Things look even more desperate for the Android partner... Read More Ben Golub: Big data SMAQ-down The term "big data," is getting thrown around a lot these days, and in certain circles it is threatening to overtake "cloud" as the most overused and misused term in IT. Interestingly, some of the large, traditional storage vendors are embracing the term big data, using it as an umbrella term for all large collections of data and hence an umbrella term for all of their offerings.
