Hey, we can’t fault anyone for taking advantage of mass paranoia, and it seems that Colorado Springs-based JRP Enterprises, Inc. is about to cash in on the growing threat of identity theft. The Self-Service Shredder will be built, distributed, and marketed by RealTime Shredding, and thanks to a recent patent grant, it looks like it’ll have exclusive rights to do so. The kiosk sports a 2.5-horsepower motor, LCD display, and has the ability to chew through paper (200 pages per minute, no less), cardboard, credit cards, paper clips, staples, CDs, DVDs, and floppy disks. Current installations include banks, offices, malls, military bases, and schools, and while we’re not quite sure how much it’ll take to get one in your place of work, those $1 per two minute shredding sessions could really add up.

The plot is starting to thicken ahead of HTC’s press conference on the fifth of June — and as we suggested before, it appears that the company does indeed have its sights set on stealing some of Apple’s thunder. As far as consumer electronics releases go, the crown for the month of June had pretty much been handed to the iPhone; yeah, pretty much any Apple release is considered something of a landmark event, but one of the iPhone’s big draws is its support for multi-touch. So what if HTC were to announce its own multi-touch device — based on the lovely Elf — just days before the iPhone’s release? A little deflating for Apple, yeah? Smartphone Thoughts is reporting that HTC plans to introduce said device at its June 5th event with the intention of releasing it quickly on a global scale. Microsoft was showing off its “Shift” touch-based interface not long ago; while we don’t know that the rumored HTC device uses it, this could all work out very nicely indeed considering the cozy relationship Microsoft and HTC enjoy.

Many webmasters, including myself, I have more than one website. The instinct is to cross-link all of them in order to promote them – especially when you have one site which is much more popular than the others. However, it might not always be a good idea to do that. Watch this video presentation to find out why.

Steve Jobs is up here in just a few, everybody. It looks like we can probably prepare ourselves for an update on the iTunes shift to no-DRM, the status of the iPhone, and whatever else is on El Jobso’s mind. It’s all on Mossberg, so hopefully he’ll drill down deep to the topics we hold near and dear. Stay close, you’ll know when it gets underway! (Note: Walt’s questions are in bold.)
UPDATE: D has posted video highlights of Steve’s and Walt’s talk, our original liveblog follows after the jump.

We just got our grubby little paws on that new Palm Foleo. We’ll give you one guess about what we think. Ok, ok, look, it’s an interesting device and an interesting concept, and we’re long-time Palm fans. We like the scroll wheel, the keyboard and screen were very nice, and the browser works excellently (and with Flash! see the gallery). It’s wonderful that it works so well with your phone and all of that business, but we just can’t get behind this one. We need a better Treo, or we need a Foleo or like device that replaces your Treo — we don’t want both. No ifs, ands, or buts. We already have a laptop, and when you consider the fact that this thing is about the size and weight of a Dell X1 (ok, maybe a little larger), the user just doesn’t have a whole lot of reason to take one of these home. Ah whatever, Palm never listens to us anyway. Enjoy the gallery!
