    UK misses out on Nike World Cup ad, Rooney red-hot with anger (maybe)

    That Nike World Cup ad I mentioned the other day has aired, I think, 800 million times over the past few days on TV. I know I saw it at least once during the Champions League final at the weekend (which Inter thoroughly deserved to win). But get this: the very first time the ad aired in the UK the final six seconds of the ad never made it on the air! Someone's getting fired...

    Engadget has some red hot info on the latest Sonos remote, a $350 controller with capacitive touchscreen that replaces Sonos’ standard CR100 monster. Since Sonos added iPod Touch/iPhone controls we thought they’d be reticent to expand their remote offerings. We were wrong. Look for this to pop up in the morning.

    Is $100 cheap enough to get you to buy an iPhone?

    The red hot rumor going around this hour—there will be a new rumor before lunchtime, such is our attention span—is that Apple will launch a $99 iPhone at WWDC next week. One of those highly paid analyst types said such a move, that is, a $100 price cut for the lowest end model, would increase demand by 100 percent.

The Memory Stick, if you'll recall, was Sony's attempt to rule the roost when it came to memory cards, a strategy that failed so spectacularly that they created an entire sidereal constellation of memory cards outside of the normal collection, ensuring absolute uselessness and incompatibility.
