New iPhone 3GS: faster and now with video!
At the World Wide Development Conference, the new iPhone, dubbed iPhone 3GS (speed) introduces a much faster interface and processor, cut and paste, yada yada yada, but what iPhone fans will really enjoy is the new 3MP camera with autofocus, auto white balance, and VIDEO!
New Macbook Lineup promises cheapest/greenest ever.
Today, at the Worldwide Developers conference, Apple introduced their latest lines of MacBooks with the typical, high price tag and cool, formfitting features and upgrades.
While the world has long stopped worshiping VHS tapes, that doesn’t mean there isn’t anyone on this earth using VHS tapes in their hopes or offices any more. After all, many Third World countries that have yet to make the jump across the digital divide still rely heavily upon this analog format to store their favorite memories on video. Granted, finding a working VHS player these days is pretty hard to do so, and if yours is still working, take good care of it! The repair cost will be astronomical, where most repairmen would recommend you to pick up a new DVD recorder instead. For those who still have a working VHS player and a bunch of VHS tapes sitting at home, why not immortalize them for posterity in a modern digital format? This is made possible with Roxio’s Easy VHS to DVD for Mac – a choice combination of hardware and software.
Do you happen to be shopping for a cell phone at this point in time, and are looking forward to picking up an Apple iPhone 3G considering everyone else already has one (well, it looks like that basically anyways)? Folks who are thinking of doing so and yet not wanting to fall under AT&T’s contract have a choice – to pick an iPhone 3G up as a refurbished unit from eBay or some other online shopping site and use an unlock software solution. iPhone Unlocking Solutions has just the thing for you if you fall under that category thanks to their new one-click unlock software, where the software price has been temporarily lowered to a mere $29.95.
You have to admire the people who make laptops. Every time you use one, you prominently display the logo of the laptop maker every time you use it. So every time I am using my laptop at a coffee shop or library, I am a sitting advertisement for Toshiba!
MacBooks may not have the word “Apple” written on them, but that picture of the fruit with a bite taken out of it is probably better than any company name. In today’s society, images are more powerful than words.
Designer Eddie Zarick has found a way to put that Apple logo on the front of a MacBook to good use by figuring out how to make the logo into an LCD screen. This is a total DIY project, but he has posted instructions for any DIYer on his Ed’s Junk site.
Information is king these days, and folks who control the most information in the world are often the ones sitting on top. After all, if you have knowledge of a company’s internal workings as well as where they’re headed, chances are you would make your next share purchase decision based on that in order to secure a generous windfall once the general populace knows about it, right? While data is becoming more available across all levels of society, it also pays to remember that we ought to take extra care in keeping our personal data secure, and this is what the latest patent filing from Apple is all about. The Cupertino-based organization is currently working on a new technique which helps hide a biometric reader within an iPhone or a Mac, allowing users to lock down their systems using fingerprints and perhaps even facial recognition software without having to break through their usual routine.
The iPhone 3G is one of the more desirable handsets to date, and it has an impressive track record to back up that particular statement. How many people have thrown a glance of envy at somebody who walks by while fiddling with their iPhone? I myself have clamored for one, but the prohibitively high price tag when purchased unlocked ($599 for the 8GB and $699 for the 16GB model from AT&T themselves) is a major stumbling block. For those who want to have their cake and eat it, here’s one method to stay ahead of Apple’s own game by unlocking a supposed contract-tied iPhone to choose a network operator of your choice. While the latest iPhone firmware and baseband updates have already closed up a great many of the commonly exploited software loopholes, the UnlockAnyiPhone.net (www.unlockanyiphone.net) solution still has not been circumvented (much to the chagrin of the folks at Apple I presume) as it offers a safe, physical SIM insert designed to work with any iPhone model without having to cut or cause any loss of service.
Apple has just previewed its iPhone OS 3.0 software, and released a statement that a beta software release to registered developers is available. We are all looking forward to what the iPhone OS 3.0 beta release has to offer since the iPhone will be facing some serious contenders sometime this year as Palm launches their Pre, while there is whiff of news bytes pointing towards new Android-powered devices from HTC as well as Samsung among other cell phone manufacturers. The iPhone OS 3.0 beta release will also be accompanied by an updated Software Development Kit (SDK) with more than 1,000 new Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) such as In-App Purchases; Peer-to-Peer connections; an app interface for accessories; access to the iPod music library; a new Maps API and Push Notifications. Good news to Apple fans who have long clamored for the cut-and-paste function on their iPod touch and iPhone devices – Apple has confirmed that among the 100 new features available this summer, it will include that much desired capability.
