BoomTown actually called Zynga CEO Mark Pincus and asked him specifically about this deal last week and he denied it completely, not even relying on a more appropriate “no comment.” In fact, he noted expansively that Yahoo had completely missed the boat in social gaming and that such a deal was probably a good idea to keep it relevant in the space. That’s the truth, actually. And the move by the gaming start-up is an attempt to increase distribution of its popular games, such as FarmVille, beyond Facebook. <a

Worldwide Developers Conference is likely to be a “non-event” for its stock. So says Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster, who doesn’t expect the WWDC to have much in the way of big “Oh, One More Thing” moments. According to Munster, Apple will probably announce a fourth-generation iPhone at the conference, and the device will probably look a lot like the prototypes we saw earlier this spring. <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20100527034610/http://digitaldaily.allthingsd.com/20100526/gaming-wwdc-a-new-iphone-but-not-on-verizon/" rel="nofollow">Read More »</a></p> </div> <div class="postmeta"> <span class="comments"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20100527034610/http://digitaldaily.allthingsd.com/20100526/gaming-wwdc-a-new-iphone-but-not-on-verizon/#comments" class="comments_link" rel="nofollow">2 Comments</a></span> </div> <div class="clearing"></div> </div> <h4 class="dateheader">Earlier Posts</h4> <ul class="home-earlier-posts"> <li><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20100527034610/http://kara.allthingsd.com/20100526/booyah-ceo-keith-lee-talks-about-social-gaming-moolah-and-more-with-accels-jim-breyer-as-sidekick/" rel="bookmark">Booyah CEO Keith Lee Talks About Social Gaming, Moolah and More (With Accel’s Jim Breyer as Sidekick)!</a> on <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20100527034610/http://kara.allthingsd.com/">BoomTown</a></li> <li><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20100527034610/http://mediamemo.allthingsd.com/20100526/wireds-flash-free-app-makes-on-to-the-ipad-after-all/" rel="bookmark">Wired’s Flash-Free App Lands on the iPad, After All</a> on <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20100527034610/http://mediamemo.allthingsd.com/">MediaMemo</a></li> <li><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20100527034610/http://digitaldaily.allthingsd.com/20100526/qotd-298/" rel="bookmark">QOTD</a> on <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20100527034610/http://digitaldaily.allthingsd.com/">Digital Daily</a></li> <li><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20100527034610/http://mediamemo.allthingsd.com/20100526/dont-blame-apple-for-its-music-monopoly-blame-the-big-labels/" rel="bookmark">Don’t Blame Apple for Its Music Monopoly.
