Apple on Monday is expected to unveil a next-generation iPhone and possibly provide a glimpse at long-absent chief executive Steve Jobs as it kicks off a software developers conference in San Francisco.
The northern California maker of iPods, iPhones, and Macintosh computers has remained tight-lipped as usual about what announcements it has in store, but speculation and rumour are rampant.

The new Mac mini uses an advanced power management system leveraged from technology that makes the most of battery life in Apple’s MacBook family.

Dell also introduced its first “hybrid” PC that is about 80 percent smaller than a standard Dell desktop and consumes up to 70 percent less energy – Dell’s greenest, most power-efficient consumer desktop. However there are negative feedbacks on this one(even on Dell’s own web site): Tacky looking, overheated constantly unfortunately.
