Scott Forstall said to be "eyeing" CEO position at Apple. You buying this? Cast your vote in "Today's Poll..." in the left column below or go straight to the results here.

Tuesday Highlights: Chris Foresman of Ars Technica claims inside info on Apple's education announcement which suggests Apple will "digitally destroy" text book publishing, offering set of tools like "GarageBand for e-books", but Philip Elmer-DeWitt believes this to be "seriously over-hyped", and Techland's Matt Peckham says "don't bet on it" noting that the Ars article actually "contradicts the (melodramatic) headline" from Apple's invite—plenty more opinion on the matter in our Op/Ed section; from Fortune's "Inside Apple" book comes this titillating tidbit: Scott Forstall is "CEO-in-waiting" at Apple presenting "one of the great internal dramas of Cook's tenure"; Apple pushes on against Samsung filing new design lawsuit in Germany against 10 of Samsung's smartphones; here's how to contact Microsoft for support of their Mac products; Alec at Foliovision reviews Witopia 2012 VPN for OS X; Steve Jobs action figure production stopped following "immense pressure" from Apple, the Jobs family; Woz says he loves his iPhone, but wishes it could do all the things his Android phones do, finds Siri lacking as compared to Google's voice recognition; Cool Springs Galleria in Nashville, TN slated to fill vacating Abercrombie & Fitch store with an Apple Store; iPad 3 panels expected to exceed iPad 2 panels (shipments) in 2Q of 2012; Apple granted patents for Smart Garments for exercisers, among others in our Hardware/Software section; Tim Bajarin explains why he believes Microsoft and Google are afraid of Siri; David Morgenstern throws his opinion in the ring as to the "great iPhone mute switch crisis" debate between Gruber and Ihnatko.
