• Steve Jobs returned to the public eye yesterday by hosting Apple's annual iPod announcements (here's our liveblog), but the only real product news in an otherwise lacklustre event was a boost for the iPod nano, which now boasts a video camera and other add-ons. That fact didn't stop Jobs from chiming in on his competitors, however: as well as pops at Nintendo and Sony, he also took the time to swipe at Amazon in a brief Q&A with New York Times gadget guy David Pogue.
• While Apple was out wooing the press in California, Microsoft has been doing some deals in the UK - or with Tesco, to be more precise. According to this announcement, Tesco customers buying some DVDs will now be offered the chance to download a version of their movie for computer consumption. Silverlight only, unsurprisingly.
• And before I go, just time to mention that this week's Technology Guardian is on the streets now: featuring all kinds of lovely stuff, including a look at whether flattening iPod sales are bad news for the download business, and hear about a machine at Bletchley Park that is set to become the world's oldest working computer. We also hear from Bruce Schneier on how to take control of the files we delete online. All that and more with a copy of the Guardian today.
