* Rumors of an Apple announcement in a super Bowl ad proved to be unfounded, but Reuters reports that Apple has [settled their long-running trademark dispute with the Beatles'][1] record company of nearly the same name. Which means you can probably expect to see the Beatles' music on the iTunes Store sooner rather than later.

* Speaking of Super Bowl ads, YouTube has got them [all in one spot][2].

* Microsoft has [turned on a feature][3] in Internet Explorer that allows Web sites with a new type of security certificate to display a green-filled address bar in IE 7. The certificate is designed to help prevent phishing scams.

* Is a Google Powerpoint on the way? Techcrunch [reports][4] that some posted what appears to be a header file from an existing Google application by the name of "Presently." The files has since been edited to remove that reference, but Techcrunch posted a screencap of the original if you're interested.

* This is the headline every traveler has been waiting for: [Wireless Internet for All, Without the Towers][5]. The New York Times reports that Meraki, a start up founded by two MIT grad students is hoping to solve the "last ten yards" problem of universal WiFi access by using in-home boxes to create a "mesh network." The network then "dynamically reroutes signals as boxes are added or unplugged, and as environmental conditions that affect network performance fluctuate moment to moment."
