* [Apple computer announced][1] that "its entire MacBook Pro line of notebooks now includes the new Intel Core 2 Duo processor and delivers performance that is up to 39 percent faster than the previous generation."
* Google launched a customized search service this morning. Called [Google Co-op][2], the service allows a user to create and launch a search engine with just a few specific websites included in the results.
* [IBM is suing Amazon][3] over some e-commerce patents, most notably the technology that powers the product recommendation features.
* CrunchGear is reporting an interesting rumor (note that, *rumor*) that Microsoft's upcoming [Zune mp3 player will offer referral payments][4] which you can cash in for free songs or other items from the Zune Marketplace.
