Saturday Highlights: Apple breaks past $600 billion market cap barrier, stock hits all time high, is $700 possible this year?; Motorola, now a Google subsidiary, has filed a lawsuit to block Apple's imports into the United States; every Apple fan's favorite pundit, Rob Enderle, says Samsung's "ruthless pace could put it ahead" of Apple given the company's faltering reputation for execution; MacDailyNews responds to Enderle's "disinformative ramblings" but admits we've not seen a whole lot from Apple?post-Jobs?"to get excited about yet"; Paul Hartsock at TechNewsWorld recaps the Apple TV news from the week; eXtensions examines the iCloud preference in Mountain Lion; tech cartoonist, PC Weenies has a non-cartoonish look at Microsoft's SkyDrive for the Mac; Mactuts+ presents a guide to Disk Utility for beginners; Sprint's iPhone efforts may payoff after all; purported photos of iPhone 5 front panel have leaked; and in an op/ed from BGR's Jonathan Geller, AT&T's FaceTime over cellular network move is heavily slammed.

Friday Highlights: In case you haven't been following, Apple's stock has crossed the $645 barrier into record territory; Judge Koh asks Apple lawyers if they've been smoking crack?!; if Samsung is right that Apple used a patent without permission, Apple could be looking at a $422 million royalties payment; if Apple can negotiate successfully with cable companies, the Apple TV might just be heaven in a box where any and every TV show would be viewable on demand, on your schedule; but Rocco Pendola over at The Street believes Tim Cook has no idea how to move forward with Apple TV; in a short, albeit intriguing post at WSJ blogs, Max Murphy says Peter Oppenheimer exuded such confidence on a Thursday call with analysts that the obvious implication is Apple is readying both iPhone 5 and iTV...; Apple being sued for media playback patent infringement; why is Pineville, Oregon so attractive as a data center locale?; eXtensions continues to look at Mountain Lion's system prefs, today focusing on the General pref; Macdrifter looks at your Mac's interface for scanning; Apple's retail boss, John Browett, under scrutiny for bungling Apple store staffing; Jim Tanous of The Mac Observer expresses deep concern, in fact, says Cook made a downright mistake hiring the former Dixon's CEO; Kodak mulling pull out of patent sale, perhaps the low offers received are signs of "auction fatigue" on the part of Apple, Google?; App Store customers in China complaining that they would like the store in their own language; Kenny the Clown given one of the stolen iPads from Jobs' house, was actually Steve Jobs' iPad ; Android users beware, Help Net Security notes sharp rise in malware targeting your platform; James Kendrick, user of both a Nexus 7 and iPad, believes an iPad mini will simply blow away the competition; however, David Gewirtz has now officially ceased developing for iPhone and explains his reasons, calling his time a "sordid experience".
