Chicago 2016 logo torched

Breaking news:

It seems Chicago's successful (to date) 2016 Olympic bid has violated a simple rule: you can't say "Olympic," you can't show "Olympic," and you can't use any Olympic related imagery, basically ever.

The Oly's are extremely protective of their brand -- the better, of course, to put the squeeze on sponsors every two years -- and have asked Chicago to redo their logo, sans Olympic torch.

Said Chicago: "But I worked all afternoon on that!" No, seriously, do you realize how much design goes into that stuff?

A stanky Red Herring to whatever Chicagoan forgot to dot that 'i.'

Oh well -- for a bid proposing to build, and then tear down, an 80,000-person stadium in a matter of months -- I guess it could be worse.

And, in Tech:

News in the negative, as Apple is not delaying launch on its iPhone and Leopard releases later this year.

Kind of interesting that someone has apparently been able to send actual Apple-looking emails through actual Apple internal channels.

Stay tuned to find out whether iPhone reviews could possibly live up to the hype.
