Tim Cook, stepping in for his boss Steve Jobs for the third time in seven years, faces the challenge of keeping up Apple Inc.’s product development and girding the iPhone and iPad maker for rivalry with Google Inc.
Cook, 50, Apple’s operations guru, took charge yesterday after Jobs, who has been receiving treatment for cancer and a liver transplant, said he was taking another medical leave. In an e-mail to employees, Jobs said he would remain chief executive officer and be involved in major strategic decisions, yet didn’t say when he might return.

The elusive great white iPhone 4 has been sighted once again, this time on an inventory screen for Best Buy. According to MacRumors, the long delayed phone will debut on the big box's shelves, in 16GB and 32GB flavors, on Feb. 27.
The Best Buy computer screen shot doesn't show whether they're AT&T or Verizon phones (Best Buy sells both), but since the inventory numbers are identical to the ones that first appeared when the device was first revealed last summer, before its seemingly interminable delay set in, and long before the Verizon iPhone was announced, it's definitely the AT&T version. It would be interesting to know if there will be a white Verizon version.
