IntoNow: The Shazam of TV Shows
IntoNow launched its iOS application today which is able to identify 2.6 million broadcast TV airings. IntoNow will listen to what you’re watching and in four to twelve seconds the app returns the exact episode and whether or not the content is live or a re-broadcast.
Additionally, IntoNow allows one-touch access to show info, IMDb, iTunes and Netflix, and app notifications alert you to activities and comments from friends. IntoNow can optinally share what you are watching with your friends on Twitter and Facebook.

Mac mini Sneaks Into Apple Store with iPhone Pre-Orders
Check out the new Mac mini
Also notice that power port. The power supply is built into the tiny case as well, so no more power brick!
On the bottom, a circular rubber foot to hold the Mac mini firmly to your table, but it's also removable to reveal your memory slots. No more putty knife for RAM upgrades.
Faster Core 2 processor with nVIDIA GeForce 320M graphics processor is supposed to double the performance (Apple's claim).
Solid unibody aluminum so it looks at home along side all your other Apple gear.
The only downside? The price increased to $699 and $999.
iPhone Pricing and Colors
It's available in, surprise, black or white.
- 16GB for $199

Meet FaceTime
Apple is calling their video chat feature FaceTime which will allow you to chat from iPhone 4 to iPhone 4 over WiFI with no setup.
You can use the front or rear camera and use it in either portrait or landscape.
FaceTime will be Wi-Fi only in 2010 with cellular providers "getting ready for the future." Ball's in your court AT&T.
No word if you will be able to communicate with desktop client programs, iPads, or if developers (Skype, for example) will have access to the cameras for video chat "FaceTime is becoming an industry standard." Whatever that means.
TURN YOUR WI-FI OFF!
Steve Jobs is video chatting with Johnny Ive over Wi-Fi on the new iPhone.
Video freezes sometimes and Steve yells at people to turn their Wi-Fi off.
Granted, 570 WiFi base stations in one given location is bound to create an insane number of packet collisions.
WWDC LiveBlogs Shut Down
570 WiFi base stations are operating in the same room for the WWDC keynote. The packet collisions must be incredible!
Ars Technica, Gizmodo, Technologizer, and gdgt are still up.
Next iPhone Details
Stainless steel all around and glass on the front and back. It's really thin at 23% thinner than the 3Gs and the "thinnest smartphone on the planet." Pretty much as expected like the prototype eventually bought and exposed by Gizmodo. As presented yesterday on Leo Laporte's This Week In Tech podacast, there is a new screen called "Retina Display" The new iPhone will be running the same A4 chip that is in the iPad. All new camera system for the iPhone iMovie for iPhone App
