Apple/Intel speculation fuels stock rise As noted by The San Francisco Chronicle, investors reacted positively to speculation that Apple has been in talks with Intel. "After a report in Monday's Wall Street Journal, which said the two firms have been in talks about a possible partnership, Apple shares rose $2.21, or 5. 89 percent, in regular trading to close at $39.76. Intel shares gained 15 cents, or 0.57 percent, to close at $26.50. [...] Some analysts are skeptical that Apple is ready to make that leap into Intel's arms." More.

PalmOne to be Palm again The Register reports that PalmOne can now go back to calling itself Palm, thanks to a deal done with Palm OS developer PalmSource. "When the original Palm split itself, creating the two firms, each took a share in the Palm Trademark Holding Company, presumably to ensure neither PalmOne nor PalmSource could claim to be the 'real' Palm to the detriment of the other, and to convince other Palm OS licensees that the two firms really were independent. No longer. PalmOne has paid PalmSource $30m for the system software company's 55 per cent stake in PTHC. It will pay for the share in instalments over the next three-and-a-half years." More.
