Here’s another headline to add to the almost never-ending news stories about Google and the Associated Press. But this time, instead of bickering over licensing agreements and the like, the two companies have decided to team up and help student digital journalists.

Fusion Garage Unveils Grid 4
I won’t lie. While I expect this phone to be a flop, that UI is quite pretty. Given Fusion Garage’s track record, however, I’m not going to get my hopes up on this thing being functional.

‘Poor Man’s Yojimbo’
Thomas Brand, on using Keychain Access for so much more than just saved passwords:
