Weekend Highlights: Would switching to Intel processors really give Apple an edge in mobile? Mac Predictions contradicts popular 'wisdom' with the thought that assuming Jonathan Ive will remove all skeumorphism from iOS 7 isn't entirely realistic; Forbes reports on Tim Cook's profit repatriation tax change ideas; Apple 2.0 at Fortune asks how devoted are Apple users to the Apple ecosystem—with pretty positive results from a Forrester survey; Over at Macworld, the Macalope skewers the Motley Fool for unrealistic criticism of Siri before moving on to critique the ridiculous position that Apple should develop apps for Android; at AppleInsider, Daniel Eran Dilger calls out the hypocrisy of the tech press comparing Samsung's S4 sales data to the iPhone 5's; in OS X news, Adobe releases Camera RAW 8.1 with Retina support and updated camera profiles; Tapscape reports on pre-WWDC MacBook Air shortages; Fairer Platform notes that Handbrake 0.9.9 has finally shipped with several improvements; Tim Cook proposes offshore cash tax reform prior to his appearance before the US Senate; maintains Apple will be able to create more US jobs with these changes; Fortune's Philip Elmer-DeWitt suggests it is important to observe Tim Cook's press run in advance of his Senate testimony; more on Cook's tax talks in our Apple/Macintosh, and Op/Ed sections; sure to rile Apple fans, Derek Brown at ReadWrite pretty much hands Google the victory in its battle with Apple claiming "the company's days of dominance, let alone an effective monopolist, are behind it"; and supposedly three out of every four investors believes Apple is losing its edge in innovation; meanwhile, the U.S. Military Networks have approved Apple's iDevices for use, and another report shows AirForce saving upwards of $5.7 million per year thanks to iPads; Harry Potter spell unlocks the secret backdoor hack in OS X, but Ars Technica says it is "more the stuff of spy movies than hack attack"; Delicious Library 3 is another software gem for the Mac according to Joel Mathis.
