FujiFilm has been busy this morning. After the torrent of new cameras we just saw, we figured it was time for a little breather — clearly we were wrong. The company just announced another set of FinePix models, the A920 and the F480 (pictured). The former is a 9 megapixel compact, with a 4x optical zoom, 2.7-inch LCD screen, xD / SD / SDHC card support, Picture Stabilization, and “movie mode” up to 640 x 480. The latter is a follow-up to the company’s F470, a compact of the 8 megapixel variety with specs so similar to the aforementioned A920 we would say they are identical except for the F480’s 4x “wide zoom”. Both the A920 and the A480 will be available in September for $199.95 and $179.95, respectively.

Now as we all know, Linux is fun to use. It’s also true that the programmers like to have a little fun of their own. While some of these are Ubuntu specific, some of them are also true for any distribution. Let’s explore, shall we?

Apple is notorious for providing extremely conservative guidance to investors. Still, with Mac sales on the rise, iPods doing their thing, and the ability to begin posting revenue from an expected 1 million iPhones in the new quarter don’t you think that a guidance of just 65 cents per share (after a record 92) is just a tad, say, absurd? That point was certainly not lost on UBS analyst, Benjamin Reitzes, who kicked off Apple’s Q&A yesterday with the following: “You just guided 66 cents and came up with 92. Why should we believe that this 65 cents this time when you’ve been so conservative? Are you really that worried about component costs or is there something else going on with regard to an upcoming price cut for a product?” Apple’s CFO, Peter Oppenheimer, cited the following three factors as the reason: Apple’s “expensive” back to school promotion which will run most of the quarter, higher component costs, and most intriguingly, “some product transitions.” As Forbes opines, that could translate into the operating costs required to cover a pretty significant product shake-up this fiscal quarter. So don’t be surprised when new iMacs, iLife and a touchscreen video iPod are announced in the next few months. And perhaps, if you’re really good, you’ll see a flash-based 12-inch MacBook Pro and new iPhone version(s) make their way to retail in the quarter ending September 30th — ok, probably not but you can hope now can’t you fanboy?
