So too might be the printed version of the Oxford English Dictionary (OED), according to Oxford University Press (OUP), its publisher. The second edition of the OED was printed in 1989. The third edition hasn’t even completed the letter “R.” Thus, by the time it reaches “Z,” demand for the third edition...

Over the last few weeks, you may have heard rumors about AMD no longer using the ATI brand. We can confirm that this is indeed... 

It’s not official, because it’s not a number that Apple has published, but it’s seemingly confirmed by two different counts. That means it will likely be one of the items that Steve Jobs uses to preface the “real content” of Apple’s Sept. 1 event.
