Plants vs. Zombies (PvZ) - Not necessarily a phrase you hear all the time in the real world, but a winning combination in the gaming world. Zombies are becoming ever popular with the casual gamers (Zombie Taxi, Zombieville) and the hardcore gamers (CoD: Zombies, Left 4 Dead). PvZ definitely falls into the casual gamer category.

DanceOff is an application from the top UK Chocolate company, Cadbury. Most of you will have seen the newest of the Cadbury adverts - the one with the dancing clothes! Well, this iPhone application is very similar to the adverts themselves, however you pick the music!

It is thought that today could be the day that Apple will announce the new MacBooks - the day that Intel release their new "LightPeak" technology, which may also be named "Thunderbolt" at launch.

The new MacBook's are said to have this ThunderBolt technology inside in the form of a Mini DisplayPort connector. We're not sure of the source of the following image, but it shows the ThunderBolt connector on the side.

There is also speculation that the new MacBooks, if not the 13", may have ATI/AMD Graphics cards built in instead of the previously used Nvidia chips.

As found by 9to5Mac, the developer seed of iOS 4.3 - the next software update for iOS devices - shows clearly that the iPad will have front and rear facing cameras.

The screenshot above, from 9to5Mac's website, shows that in one of the .plist files of the iOS operating system, a key value named "Back Facing 1MP Photo", showing that the camera on the back of the iPad is to be a 1 MegaPixel one. It was also found that the front-facing camera on the new iPad will be the same as the iPhone 4's FaceTime camera (VGA). That's right, you guessed it, FaceTime is coming to iPad!

Along with FaceTime, it has been discovered that "Photo Booth" is coming to iPad. Photo Booth is the same application on the Mac that lets you mess around with the webcam - add effects, different backgrounds etc.
