Looks like the other rumors were true, too. After just hearing that the popular Hulu Plus service would be made available on the Roku boxes, TiVo just announced to the world that the Hulu service would be also made available on their TiVo Premiere DVRs, too. That means quite a bit of subscriptions to get your hands on Hulu Plus on your TV, but at least it's an option.

Mophie Juice Pack Air for iPhone 4
For each generation of iPhone, there’s been a Mophie Juice Pack to bolster its battery. Apple may have refined its smartphones’ power requirements over each generation, but getting a full day’s use has often been beyond most app-addict users. The iPhone 4 certainly has longer-legs than its predecessors, but Mophie’s promise to “virtually double” runtime with the new Juice Pack Air is appealing all the same.

Apple COO Tim Cook tipped for HP CEO job
Share price wobbling today, as rumors circulate that Apple COO Tim Cook is being courted as HP's potential new CEO. The WSJ is reporting the speculation, though being clear that it has no idea if the talk is accurate or not, and points to Fly on the Wall's comment earlier today that "shares of Apple are moving lower on renewed speculation that COO Tim Cook may be named Hewlett-Packard's new CEO."
[Update]: Looks like the rumors about Cook heading to HP aren't true. Cook sat down with an analyst, coffee in hand, and informed him that he loved Apple, and that he wouldn't be leaving. As reported by Barron's Gleacher & Co.'s Brian Marshall had a chat with Cook in Palo Alto, and Cook confirmed that he wouldn't be taking the role of CEO at HP. Guess that means Todd Bradley is still the number one candidate, so far.
