The World Wide Developer Conference (WWDC) is coming in June and by all appearances the big thing that Apple will be showing off will not be hardware at all.  This may come as a shock to some people, but for those that have seen this coming this is not a surprise at all.  The next version of iOS will be the focal point and I don't think this is going to bode very well for their stock price - but that is a trend we are starting to expect.

WWDC will be Apple’s opportunity to reset the company’s story, and reveal its plans for the future of its most important software, iOS, which powers iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches. Combined, those products accounted for $32.6 billion revenue last quarter, or 75% of Apple’s total revenue. The revenue of those products is the same as Google and Microsoft’s total combined revenue last quarter.

Well, it appears the latest round of rumors are surfacing regarding the next Xbox from Microsoft and these ones are a little more comforting.  The big rumor this time around is that it won't require an always-on internet connection.  This is course is just a rumor, but there is no need for this for most applications.  Here's hoping it's true.  We'll find out later this month on May 21st.

How far this offline support will extend still isn't clear. It could take the form of a fully offline mode akin to that on the Xbox 360 (insert optical disc, install game, play, all without an Internet connection) or it could be more like Steam (install and activate online but enable subsequent offline play once this has been done).

Google gets it.  Not everyone uses 10GB of email space and 5GB of Drive and Photo storage.  Now they have tweaked their file storage system to allow you to use 15GB across all of their services.  Some of you were stuck in the 5GB world and now you've got a lot more space and a lot more freedom.  This is good news for all of those Google users on the web.

With this new combined storage space, you won’t have to worry about how much you’re storing and where. For example, maybe you’re a heavy Gmail user but light on photos, or perhaps you were bumping up against your Drive storage limit but were only using 2 GB in Gmail. Now it doesn’t matter, because you can use your storage the way you want.

Usually winning awards is a good thing, but not in this case. The Consumerist has let their readers vote on the worst company in America, and for the 2nd time in a row EA has topped the charts. This isn't too surprising thanks to the botched SimCity launch a couple months ago and only time will tell if they can go for 3 years in a row!

Following last year’s surprise Worst Company In America victory by Electronic Arts, there was hope that the video game giant would get the message: Stop treating your customers like human piggy banks, and don’t put out so many incomplete and/or broken games with the intent of getting your customers to pay extra for what they should have received in the first place. And yet, here we are again, with EA becoming the first company to ever win a second Golden Poo from Consumerist readers.
