* Reuters [reports][2] that Apple is delaying the release of Apple TV until mid-March. An Apple spokesperson says that "wrapping up Apple TV is taking a few weeks longer than we projected."

* Speaking of Apple products, Gizmodo [has a video][3] that purports to show iTunes-like Cover Flow navigation on a video iPod. Probably a fake, but you never know.

* Earlier today Techcrunch finally [got a response][4] from MySpace about why the service blocks certain widgets, which, as it turns, out basically boils down to whether or not the makers of the those widgets are trying to make money. It must be disheartening as a MySpace user to track down a bunch of cool video on Revver and then have it unceremoniously blocked by the Dark Lords that rule MySpace.

* Virgin Chairman Richard Branson has [announced][5] a new online video game rental service with the terribly awkward name: A World of My Own (AWOMO). Reportedly the terrible name stems from the fact that in addition to the rental aspect the service will feature a *Second Life*-like virtual world as well as some additional bonuses like game tournaments with prizes including a trip to the moon. Yup, that moon.
