Let's get physical: Apple has applied for several patents for an iPod- and iPhone-based digital fitness system. Users enter basic information into an iTunes-like interface, choose goals, and receive a fitness regimen tailored to them. Then they'll also receive guidance and feedback during workouts -- kind of like the existing Nike + iPod Sport Kit, but for more than just running.

Adobe is working hard for better Facebook pictures: For U.S. residents, today marks the beginning of the public beta for Photoshop Express, a Web-based photo editor by Adobe. It uses Flash technology, edits nondestructively, includes online storage, and can export to Facebook and other online photo-sharing services. Try it out here. We dig it so far -- do you think it could change the world?

Mac desire increasing on campus: Sure, we all know that college students are horny, but did you know how many are lusting after Macs? According to a survey by Morgan Stanley, 40 percent of college kids plan to buy a Mac as their next computer.

Slimming down: Rumors are also afoot that the iMac and Mac mini may be redesigned soon, with LOOPRumors reporting that svelter models "will be available within weeks." The iMac was redesigned much more recently than the Mac mini, but sleeker Macs are always welcome.

Finally: Sure, Amazon is the second largest online retailer behind the iTunes Store -- but is it truly a competitor yet? And two Apple Store employees were busted for stealing 332 iPhones. We're sure they were just faithfully trying to help their employer hit its "10 million iPhones by the end of '08" estimate -- right?
