It was bound to happen sometime, and today is as good as any other post-holiday day to launch the mythical white iPhone 4 . While normally we’d consider a Wednesday night shuttering of the global Apple store to be maintenance-related, a tweet identifying a pair of supposed white iPhone part numbers — MC604X/A (16GB) and MC606X/A (32GB) — has surfaced, attributed to an established last-minute Apple insider known only as ” Mr. X ” in various tech forums. Mind you, ” spring ” was the last official timeframe for a white iPhone release. But please, we beg you… don’t say that it’s early if it does appear when the Apple Store returns to business later today — we don’t want anyone to get hurt in the comments. Update: Apple.com has undergone a subtle redesign, with the navigation bar up top taking on a shinier new look, though the Store remains down. A little bit of web-based multitasking, eh Apple?

Moscow: Russian media has pointed out the similarities between the bloody scenes depicted in a popular US video game with attack at Domodedovo International Airport, sparking a heated debate on the content of the game.

You know a job title is tenuous when even the guys who announce it have to put it in quotation marks — Intel’s just signed up the Black Eyed Peas’ Will.i.am as a “director of creative innovation.” The hip hop star responsible for flooding CES 2010 and every BlackBerry event since with an irritatingly cheery tune (which we’re sure we don’t have to name) is about to commence a long-term, “hands-on” collaboration with Intel on its development of “new technologies, music and tech advocacy.” Basically, it sounds like he’ll act as an ambassador for the chip company, who’ll in turn pretend to listen to his zany ideas about mega-giga-bass . Then again, Lady Gaga’s similar partnership with Polaroid produced these glasses , so what the hell do we know?
