Drug Deal on Google Maps Street View

Tuesday, March 25th, 2008

This dealer probably has no idea what Google Map’s Street View is but if he ever discovers this: 3912 S Vincennes Ave (approximate address) he will realize the streets is watching, literally.

That is epic. If you are having trouble viewing the page, heres a screen shot of a drug deal in progress caught by Google Maps.

I want Multi-Touch

Monday, March 24th, 2008

I would really like an iPhone, but I do not have AT&T nor have any desire to have service with AT&T. I deal with them almost daily for representatives of my company and lets just say I’m not impressed. On top of that my work already pays my BlackBerry bill through Verizon. I would unlock the iPhone, but it is impossible to use a GSM phone with a CDMA provider. The technologies used in the hardware are not compatible between the two types of carriers. Verizon is a CDMA carrier. The current iPhones are GSM, which require a sim card in order to work.

In any case I still want Multi-Touch in my life, since I missed out on the new MacBook multi-touch track pad’s with my recent Macbook Pro purchase, I’m thinking about picking up an iPod Touch. I feel like I’m totally missing out with this new multi-touch display technology Apple has came out with. If only the iPod Touch had a camera I would definitely pick one up, considering my Blackberry has no Camera. Maybe soon I’ll grab one off eBay, in the mean time heres a few resources for those of you out there that already have an iPhone/iPod Touch.

Apple is taking over

Wednesday, March 12th, 2008

At the Apple Town hall meeting last week, Steve Jobs (CEO Apple) announced two major things for the iPhone: 1) support for Microsoft Exchange and 2) the iPhone SDK. This is HUGE for the company and heres why: Why Apple will dominate next generation computing

Apple has made this play flawlessly. The enterprise and SDK solutions will go hand-in-hand to propel the iPhone to be THE handheld device of the future. Ironically, the PC just got its final blow not from a MacBook (which has been on the rise too!), but from a small new computer. Apple got its revenge elegantly, relentlessly and creatively.

Watch: I Am Legend’s alternate ending

The scene at the end where the vampire creatures break into Robert Neville’s lab is intense and amazing, and I enjoyed it, but it wasn’t how it should have played out. This ending is what we should have seen.
