Mystery HTC Windows Phone 7 device: in the wild and lacking any Sense  —  A candybar slate from HTC with a 3.7-inch SLCD and 1GHz Snapdragon processor — sounds about right for the Desire, but this little puppy is actually running Windows Phone 7 (presumably a developer build, given the apps catalog).

Wikileaks Afghanistan files: download the key incidents as a spreadsheet  —  Key incidents from the Wikileaks Afghanistan war logs selected by Guardian writers.  As a spreadsheet, with co-ordinates  —  • Get this data  —  • INTERACTIVE: These key incidents mapped  —  • Glossary of military terms

In Disclosing Secret Documents, WikiLeaks Seeks ‘Transparency’  —  WikiLeaks.org, the online organization that was to post tens of thousands of classified military field reports about the Afghan war on Sunday, says its goal in disclosing secret documents is to reveal “unethical behavior” by governments and corporations.
Jonny Evans / Computerworld:
RIP: Why the iPad ‘killers’ are already dead  —  iPad is huge, big, massive hit, an echo of the iPod effect on the MP3 player market and the iPhone effect on the mobile world.  Apple has stolen the tablet/netbook industry to the extent competitors face a pretty tough time in even manufacturing their ‘iPad killers’.

The AngelList  —  There are a growing number of resources for entrepreneurs on the web, but certainly one of the very best is Venture Hacks.  And their AngelList service is particularly useful for entrepreneurs trying to get angel rounds done.  I found myself recommending it to at least a half dozen entrepreneurs this past week.

Mimicking Apple an imperative for PC makers  —  PC makers are beginning to bear an uncanny resemblance to Apple.  —  So, what does Apple look like these days?  Apple is not as much about the Mac anymore (in case anyone didn't notice).  And it's not just about a successful gadget sideshow, i.e., the iPod.
Alexis Madrigal / The Atlantic Online:
The Varieties of Religious Experience: How Apple Stays Divine  —  The iPhone Antennagate is, for most intents and purposes, over.  Apple's free-case quick fix for the problem tamped down consumer anger — and Apple's great earnings report blasted its problems off the front page.
Discussion: Gizmodo, Switched and kottke.org
Jean-Louis Gassée / Monday Note:
iPhone 4 Antennas: The Fun Side  —  We'll leave serious industry matters aside this week.  (If you must, you can wade into Apple's Q3 numbers here, or luxuriate in the impending ouster of Nokia CEO OPK and consider the list of possible replacements.)  —  Instead, we'll look into the fun side …
