The passing mention of an application kill switch in the Android Market terms of service is sure to raise the hackles of the same eyebrow archers who saw the presence of an App Store kill switch in the iPhone as downright perfidy.

With the Mac world getting a massive blitz of notebook announcements, the unveiling of Apple’s new monitor has been relatively quiet. Apple has still tied the product to the notebook-themed events of the week, calling the new Cinema Display “the first display made precisely like a MacBook.”
