We're halfway to our centennial. Episode 50 of 90 Seconds on The Verge. This isn't the only milestone we'll be celebrating soon, but it definitely warranted flying in a few very important guests for an all-star week! (That's right, absolutely no other reason they're all here in New York but to stand in front of our cameras and look pretty.) We couldn't help but start with our Elder Statesman (and current Amsterdam resident) Thomas Ricker. Okay. Let's make history.

Stories of the day:

• Official: Apple holding iPhone 5 event September 12th, and we'll be there live!
• One million Apple device IDs with personal information allegedly stolen from FBI laptop
• FBI: there is 'no evidence' that AntiSec stole Apple device IDs from an agency laptop
• 'Bad Piggies,' 'Angry Birds' sequel, hits September 27th
