iMore compares pro-level iPad stylus pens -- Pogo, Kuel, Jot, and Bamboo -- and tells you which one is best, and which one is best for you

Apple might have said "yuk!" to stylus pens but users are saying "yes!" in ever greater number.

During their annual shareholders meeting, Sprint CEO Dan Hesse said they're very happy with the iPhone, but admitted that it won't be profitable for the company until 2015. Sounds crazy, but Hesse says they're taking the long view, since offering the iPhone will stem the exodus of users going to other carriers just to get their hands on Apple's smartphone.

Walt Disney might possibly potentially think about considering putting their sports network's WatchESPN app on the Apple TV and letting us poor dumb users watch it, provided we authenticate all right-and-proper... with a Pay TV account. Seriously.
