    In last week's press conference held about iPhone 4 reception issues*, Apple made mention of distributing not only bumpers for iPhones going forward, but refunds to those who had already purchased bumpers or other iPhone 4 cases. So if you didn't get one before they were pulled from Apple stores, progress is being made. A number of tipsters have written in to let us know they received email from Apple this evening about their refunds being processed. Read the whole thing after the break. We've heard of the "Cash For Clunkers" program, but what would you call this one? "Bucks for Bumpers"? "Ante For Antennagate"? Leave your best answer in the comments. Update: the page on Apple.com is now available. To claim your free case, you will need to download an app.

    Paper money... it's pretty cute, right? Like old fashioned pencils and other trinkets we don't really use anymore. Except, of course, we're still printing billions of dollars every year, and it's got to be made somewhere, right? Cnet's just gotten a behind the scenes look at the printing of the next generation $100 bill, and we have to say that what we're seeing is more than a little intriguing -- though it's also rather painful to see this much cash money in one place and know it'll never be ours. Hit up the source for the full story and more delicious photos of currency.
