Palm takes a stand and states that it will continue to enable iTunes syncing for the Palm Pre even though Apple keeps disabling it. The staff wonders why Palm just doesn’t put all that effort into creating their own music syncing software and a Newton engineer returns to Apple after 15 years just in time for the staff to come up with the perfect name for rumored Apple Tablet.
