iPhone 4 – 2X The Memory

admin — Fri, 18 Jun 2010 13:18:37 +0000

This is pretty sweet. The new iPhone, in sweaty little palms next week, has twice the RAM of the 3GS, and twice the RAM of the iPad. That’s 512mb instead of 256mb. Along with its fast processor, it should mean be everything will run smoother and the phone should multi-task better. The memory size, speculated in the past, was confirmed yesterday.

This is a great site that shows the oil leak’s current coverage area in the Gulf of Mexico. Then, using your IP address, it moves the spill to your neighborhood. It’s amazing to see the coverage area of the leak if it were centered in Chicago. Click here and be prepared for More >

iPhone 4

We’ll see the new iPhone today. As a user of the iPhone since day 1 (3rd one out the door at Apple’s Michigan Avenue store) I always look forward to the latest version. Steve Jobs is expected to take the wraps off today. Expect better battery life, better screen, HD video (that’s why AT&T is changing the data plan), and an extra camera for video calls. This debut comes at a time when more manufacturers are launching phones that can really compete with the iPhone. But I think we’ll see Steve Jobs raise the bar just a little bit higher.

iPad Printing?

It took a while for apps to come along that allowed you to print from your iPhone. So iPad printing should be here soon. In fact, Steve Jobs says it’s coming.

The Next iPhone?

Disguised as an iPhone 3GS, it was left in a California bar. It ended up in the hands of Gizmodo…and that’s the last thing Apple wanted. Take a look and see what you think. Then decide if this will be your next phone.

Chat Roulette

Enjoy this piece my dad did on CBS 2 Chicago, regarding Chat Roulette.

I spent a lot of time on my computer at work yesterday, surfing a site that would surely get me fired if it weren’t for the assignment I was given. Chat Roulette is a site that links your webcam (I borrowed our digital expert Rick Kramer’s) to random web cameras from around the world. I talked with people in Tunesia, France, China, Finland, Denmark, Norway, London and even New York! Some of them were fascinating, but a good number of the contacts I didn’t bother staying with were shirtless men who appeared ready to engage in something sexual or were already engaged. So this fascinating link to the world can also be seedy and x-rated. Not for the kids!
