Last week a report was published in Forbes revealing that the Best Buy is in the process of purchasing 10 of thousands of iPad 2 to its sales associates across the country. But Best Buy has rejected the rumor.
In a Wall Street Journal article, a Best Buy representative said the company is still wondering about which devices to give to its employees and that there would only be a limited supply of those devices handed out.
Here, the existing titles craw to get their apps ready for the iTunes store and publishers tiff with Apple over subscriptions but one media mogul is trying an entirely new idea. According to a report at Forbes.com, NesCorp’s Rupert Murdoch is planning the launch of a news tabloid designed expressly for the tablet format. The name of this tab is the Daily Planet.
Former NY Post editors Jesse Angelo and Richard Johnson are already working on the title, which is currently projected to launch in December.
Well it is an interesting concept. Hope “tabloid,” they mean lots of current news and gossip being constantly updated. Readers have become spoiled by the 24/7 coverage provided by blogs like Perez Hilton and news/gossip sites like TMZ and RadarOnline. They aren’t going to be interested in a newspaper that’s static and doesn’t offer the news as it happens—with videos and other interactive features, of course.

According to Forbes reports, it reveals that Facebook founder and CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, is now worth $6.9 Billion topping Steve Jobs’ 2010 networth of $6.1 Billion. Interestingly enough, Jobs’ $6.1 Billion is one billion more than he had in 2009, meaning he netted a billion bucks in one year.
All we can say is that the person who made the Mac, iPod, iPhone and iPad is loved by everyone and also his products. Steve Jobs will be happy with the success of the Apple’s products more than topping the earning chart.

According to Forbes’ annual list of wealthiest Americans, Steve Jobs is this year ranked as 43rd with a net worth of approximately $5.1 billion. This would generally come as a good news to mr. Jobs, but actually his not worth fell from last year by approximately $600 million. Though he lost more than half a billion, he moved up 18 places.
The report notes that Steve Jobs has earned big times on his investment of Pixar, which he purchased back in 1986 for $10 million. When Disney acquired Pixar, Steve Jobs became the largest individual stockholder of Disney, and in the past 6 months, Disney’s stock price has risen nearly 90% and because of this, Apple CEO, Steve Jobs’ net worth has risen by more than $1 billion.
Microsoft chairman, Bill Gates remains the leader of Forbes 400 List of Richest Americans with a net worth of approximately $50 billion, and he is now America’s richest person for the 16th straight year.
