Family Guy - Something Something Something Darkside



I am not the biggest Family Guy fan, but I found the first episode The Blue Harvest hilarious that this one looks just as good. Plus it is based on my favorite Star Wars film The Empire Strikes Back.

Visual Effects: 100 Years of Inspiration



Simply amazing how things have changed in movie special effects. I am not 100% sure the Death Star explosion was from the original version in 1977.

HDTV 2 Pack

The recent commercials running for fast food restaurant Jack in the Box wasn't making fun of warehouse stores after all when they showed the HDTV 2 pack. It appears that Costco is now offering 2 HDTV's for the price of one a year ago.

Help

These images mysteriously showed up on my iPhone 3GS today at 1pm. The
weird thing is that they showed up on my old phone too but that was
close to 2 years ago. I did not use my old phones backup to restore
this one, so it did not get it from that.

One thing is that I have etch a sketch & I think I opened it today,
but why would that app cause this. This is really bugging me. If these
have showed up on your phone please let me know.

Emailing multiple pix via iPhone

Looks like I was wrong, apparently it does have a way to send multiple
pix the way I wanted. From the camera roll just hit the arrow in the
lower left side & then select your photos & hit share. Exactly what I
have done here. (used my iPhone 1.0)

iPhone 3G S Review



Apple released the 3rd generation iPhone Friday which is called the 3G S and the S is for speed. I bought the 1st gen iPhone 2 years ago and was amazed by all that could be done with a cell phone. I decided to skip gen 2 the 3G because it only added 3G network and a few other improvements and honestly my 2 year contract was not up. Fast forward 2 years and my contract was ready for an upgrade and Apple added more features, but this time they sold me with the faster processor, 3 Megapixel camera, and video recording.

In a sense the the 3G S looks the same in design on the outside as the 3G from last year, but internally they beefed up the MHz and Ram and gave it some great advantages over the past 2 versions. The faster processor is very noticeable when I play my favorite game Peggle, on my 1st gen it would take quite a few seconds to load and now it loads in just a few seconds. Everything is faster from web pages loading to switching between apps. So compared to the 1st gen the speed is like going from Dial up to DSL and I don't think I could go back.

The camera was upgraded to 3 Megapixel and they added video recording which is very nice and easy to use. The camera was the 1st and 2nd gens biggest downfall in my opinion. I will have to take some pix and post them for a comparison, but I can already tell you I see a huge improvement. The screen is amazing how it does not show fingerprints at all like the past 2 phones. Honestly I don't know how they do it, but it is a nice feature.

The OS 3.0 is amazing and works on all 3 gens so I don't think that I will go into too much detail. What the 3G S adds is voice control where you can ask from what song is playing to dial Joe's work. It also adds a compass which is cool, but I wonder if it really works if you don't have 3G converage.

In conclusion I have to say if you have a 1st gen or no iPhone, then you need to get this version. I don't have enough experience with the 2nd Gen phone to compare, but I probably would have to say the 3G S is probably a better phone. Once again I am amazed how great the iPhone is and how it has revolutionized what cell phones have become. Now only if AT&T will get the MMS going and lower the monthly data back down to $20/month or throw in unlimited txt for the $30. The latter of the two won't happen, but seriously it is the best phone ever....

This is the case I have and it is highly recommended for how it fits, how it feels, and the price.

I give you the iPhone 3G S

iPhone OS 3.0

Copy & Paste, landscape typing, Spotlight, and Voice Memo are a few of
the new OS items I tried & liked. In order to get all of these photos
emailed at the same I had to copy & paste 1 at a time. I would have
liked some sort of check system & choose send all checked photos (if
that makes sense). I would also like an option to rotate a photo when
you use a screen shot (look at photo 2). Now only if UPS could
deliver my new phone today, but Apple told them to hold it.

Spotlight is amazing

iPhone 3G S Delayed

Wait, I am the receiver & I did not request you to hold it up. I hope
the attempt to hold it up fails. Please...

Skype for iPhone

Everyone has been waiting for this app, and it's finally here. Free
phone calls to anyone running the app on a computer or iPhone. You do
need to be connected to a WiFi network as for AT&T wouldn't want you
making free calls on their network now. Let me know when you have
installed so I can try it out.

G.I. Joe (2009)



I sure hope this movie is good and that Hollywood doesn't screw it up. About half of my childhood consisted of all things G.I. Joe and if would hurt me dearly if it was bad.

I like the Grindhouse feel of this commercial, too bad the shows aren't probably as good as the ad.
