How’s this for tying together Old Spice’s winning social media strategy and Apple’s current iPhone problems: While the cologne and deodorant company is ending the week smelling like a rose, Steve Jobs’ tech colossus is in danger of stinking up the joint. Follow along with me as I attempt to marry the two top tech stories of the past few days.

It may be hard to believe in our current overheated cable news climate, but in the days and months after Sept. 11 — and in the weeks following the 2003 invasion of Iraq — CNN was actually doing its best to provide in-depth reporting and analysis of the Middle East. CNN International’s Octavia Nasr was a key player for the network during that time.

Even though I had no intention of ever buying a Kin, I’m still pissed off at Microsoft for killing their latest attempt at the mobile phone market. The Kin One and Two now share a dubious distinction: They got less time than Conan O’Brien to build and develop an audience.

AT&T’s iPad security breach may have been plugged, but the questions it’s raised continue to leak out to the tech press/mainstream media and the blogosphere. The story is sticking around because of issues regarding responsibility — not just Apple and AT&T’s liability in the matter; the security researchers who discovered the breach and the technology blog that told the world about it are also the subjects of inquiry.

Sure, like any good speaker or stand-up comic, Jobs knows where his guaranteed applause/laugh lines fall during the hour or so he’s on stage, and he’s well aware of who will be doing most of the laughing, oohing and aahing.
