The Technology news for the week:
  • Here is some HD video shot using Google's Project Glass:
    There is no audio because they have not added a microphone to the device yet.
  • Facebook is talking with former Apple engineers that have work on the iPhone. A few of them have said that Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook’s chief executive, was asking them about the inner workings of the iPhone. Could this mean that they are trying to make a Facebook smartphone?
    Some people say that this it what it could look like:

    Maybe they will try the "Poke to unlock" route.
  • Apple has been talking about replacing the Google Maps app on their iOS devices. They have been working secretly on the Maps app that will show up in iOS 6. They have released this photo of what it will look like:
     Apple-Maps-iOS-Six-4
    There is also speculation that they will have an option for 3D maps to be displayed.
  • Some images of the iPhone 5's parts have been leaked. The picture show that the device is longer and is to be of the 4" screen size. Check out the picture below:
    9to5macblackandwhite
    I'm glad it still comes in Black!

Lose the beard Ashton!

The Technology news for the week:
  • Here is Ashton Kutcher dressed up like Steve Jobs for the upcoming Biopic: 
    I think he really needs to lose the beard or get a hair cut. That doesn't look like Steve Jobs at any age.

  • Google Chrome is reportedly coming out for iOS with in the next few weeks. Since Firefox is starting to take a nose dive and Google Chrome is now the Top browser. I'm happy it making it way to iOS. I liked Safari until Dolphin came along and now it would be nice to have my Google Chrome bookmarks available on a mobile device. If it passes Apple's inspection, which it should, it should be here soon. I will keep you updated on this story when new information is available.

And now for the Youtube Channel of the Week, which is: Rooster Teeth

Rooster Teeth are pretty famous content creators of the Halo world. They created the online show called Red vs. Blue. I posted one of their creations in a recent blog where they announced the Halo 4 release date.  They also post achievement guides and funny things to do in games.

The iPad Mini is small!

The Technology news for the week:
  • Here is what the 7.85 inch iPad Mini would look like: iPad-Mini-update-03-CiccareseDesign
    It will have a dual core chip and 1024×768 display. It will be like the iPad 2, but smaller.
  • You heard about the Steve Jobs movie starring Ashton Kutcher, right? The good news is that it is not the one made by Sony. This version will cover Apple from 1971 all the way through 2000. The movie will be called Jobs: Get Inspired. It might be good, it all depends on how they approach it.
  • Google Drive is like Dropbox, but cooler. When it is released next week, most likely Tuesday or Wednesday, it will offer 5 GB of space compared to 2 GB that Dropbox offers. It will be just like Dropbox, but made by Google and larger storage capacity. I will atleast try it out, but I think I will stay with Dropbox for now.
  • The BUFF iPhone screen protector protects your iPhone from angry coffee mugs, hammers, and a brick. Don't believe me, check out the video below:

    It cost anywhere from $20-$30 depending on the device you are buying it for.
  • The Youtube Channel of the week is: SourceFed
    It is a news channel started by Phillip DeFranco and is about a lot of Pop Culture stuff. Its kind of like this blog, but in video form. I used to watch every episode, but found that the news they were talking about I have either already read or I already blogged about it. It is still a good channel and is worth checking out.

Apple wants Half-Life 3 NOW!!

The Gaming news for the week:
  • Apple CEO Tim Cook was spotted visiting Valve this week. There is no word on what he did there or what it was about. It could be anything from discussing a next generation console or maybe even getting some inside news on Half-Life 3. Maybe something about his visit will be released soon.
  • The characters from the popular online show, Red vs. Blue, have announced the release date of Halo 4. Halo 4 is set to release on November 6th of this year. The guys over at Rooster Teeth have been working with 343 Industries for a while now and this gave them a chance to announce a pretty big thing. This actually a pretty good date for this game to be released. Since I have already pre-ordered Assassin's Creed 3 and it comes out on October 30th of this year, it gives me time to beat it before Halo 4 is released.

  • The trailer for Bethesda new game Dishonored has been released. It looks good, but I might need more convincing before I buy it. The game follows Corvo who has been framed of assassinating the  Empress by Lord Regent. The game allows the player to manipulate the world around them while also being able to dart across rooftops, stealth assassinate targets, and use swordplay that allows you to slash enemies throats. Players also get to fire a hand mounted crossbow and cast some pretty powerful spells that allow you to break through windows and doors. To me it looks like a mixture of Assassin's Creed and Bioshock.

  • Here is a trailer for a Star Trek game that is being made:

    There hasn't been too much news released about the game, but I can atleast tell you this.The game is supposed to be more like the Uncharted series then the Mass Effect series. The game will have a major co-op aspect and will allow players to play as Spock and Kirk. There is no information yet on how the single player campaign will go though.

QOTD: What is your opinion of Dishonored?

Tim Cook is better then Steve Jobs?!

The Technology news for the week:
  • Tim Cook is more popular then Steve Jobs ever was. Glassdoor is a website that provides employer reviews for the Top Tech CEOs. Tim Cook has a 97% approval rating and Steve Jobs had a 95% approval rating. Here are the approval ratings of the Top 10 Highest Rated Tech CEOs:
    image003

  • Google's Project Glass seems cool, but I'm not to sure about it yet. Check out the video about it below:

    It just seems weird to me wearing an electronic pair of glasses that overlays your vision. What about people who wear glasses, how are they going to use this? Just think how weird you will look if you happen to be the one testing this on the streets. I guess I would have to get a hands on test before I can hate/like it to much.
  • If you are having problems with your iPad 3G connecting to Wi-Fi, Apple will gladly replace it. Here is what Apple sent to 9to5Mac.com:
    9to5mac
    All you have to do is send a report to Apple stating that you are having problems with your iPad 3G's Wi-Fi and they will help you out from there.

Since there has been barley any news that has been posted on the Thursday blog post, I have decided to add something. I was originally going to start this new part as a Saturday post, but didn't want to throw a wrench into the mix. So starting from here on out I will be adding a link to one of my favorite YouTube channels on every Thursday/Technology post. It will kind of serve as the YouTuber of the Week kind of thing. So the first YouTube Channel I will choose is:

8-bit Google Maps for NES?!

The Video Game news for the week:
  • Rumor: The PS4 will be called Orbis and will be out Holiday season of 2013. Again like the PS3, Orbis will not be backwards compatible.

  • Assassin's Creed 3 news:
    • Ubisoft considered having a female assassin in Assassin's Creed 3, but in the end chose a male one.
    • Ubisoft says that they are developing the PC version to be playable with a controller.
    • The game will have a completely revamped control Scheme.
    • Ubisoft hired a Native American consultant so that they could make sure the game was historically accurate.
    • The game will also feature more Desmond Miles then any other Assassin's Creed game.
  • Rumor: The new Xbox that will be released late 2013 might be the Xbox Lite. Its will be the same Xbox experience, but wont be a next generation console. It will cost about $100 and is suppose to hold gamers over until Microsoft is ready to release the next generation of the Xbox.

  • 343 Industries teases a multiplayer map for Halo 4 with some concept art. Check it out below:


  • If you didn't happen to use Google Maps on April 1st, you missed something pretty cool. Google took Google Maps and converted it into an 8-bit version. It was a funny flash back and made me laugh. Check out the commercial for it:


  • Rumor: Apple might be working on a physical controller for for their iOS devices. This might happen due to Apple wants more hardcore gamers for their devices. Since the Apple stills holds the ownership of the of the #1 mobile gaming device. They also might be working on their own gaming console.
  • There is video out there of Kinect Star Wars where Han Solo dances to a song called Han Solo. I watched and my whole body ached. It like trying to watch the Star Wars prequels with out wanting to hate George Lucas. If you really want to see it, you can find it on the internet some where.

  • If you havent heard about Mari0 then you havent been on the internet in the last year. Its a crossover of Super Mario Brothers and Portal. If it doesn't sound cool, here is some test gameplay footage of single player mode that you will like.

    Head over to this link to download the free game: Mari0

Apple is stupid for not coming up with this!

The Technology news for the week:
  • Here is a pretty cool concept for the new MacBook Pro. Its called the MacBook Touch. I wish it was real, I don't think we will ever see it as an actual product from Apple. Check it out below:

My dislikes of the iPad 3!

The Technology news for the week:
  • The Samsung Galaxy S III is being released this April and will have some amazing features.
    If I wanted a phone not made by Apple, this is the one I would get. These features included:
    • 4.8 inch, Full HD 1080p screen
    • A powerful 1.5 GHz quad core processor
    • 2 megapixel front facing camera and a 8 megapixel rear facing camera
    • 4G LTE
  • The iOS App Store has just passed 25 Billion downloads, which makes it the biggest place to buy apps worldwide. Talk about, Duh Winning!
  • Apple TV 3rd Generation has been announced. With it comes a new User Interface and support of full 1080p. Will be released on March 16th.
  • The iPad 3 was announced yesterday, here is everything you need to know about it:
    • There are different models of the iPad 3. There is WiFi and WiFi+3G+4G.
    • Prices start at $499 for 16GB with only WiFi and goes up to $829 for 64 GB with WiFi+3G+4G.
    • Still thin at 9.4mm thick and weights a total of 1.5 pounds.
    • Regular battery life is set at 10 hours and 4G battery life is set at 9 hours.
    • The screen is 9.7 inches in size, has a resolution of  2048×1536, and has 264 pixels per inch.
    • Has an A5X, which is a Dual-Core CPU and a Quad-Core GPU. The processor offers 4 times the amount of the graphical performance that the iPad 2 offers. It also has 1GB of RAM, which is 2 times the amount that the iPad 2 had.
    • The rear facing camera is a 5 Megapixel camera that shoots 1080p video. the front facing camera is the same one that was in the iPad 2.
    • The iPad 3 will only have Siri dictation, instead of the full assistant that the iPhone 4S has.
    • You can preorder the iPad 3 now here or you can wait until March 16th and get it at the Apple Store nearest you.
  • My dislikes about the iPad 3:
    • I wish the price would be a little cheaper, but the price doesn't bother me to much.
    • I wish they would have upgraded the front facing camera instead of the rear facing camera. Since more people use the front one instead of using the rear one, why not upgrade that one. How many people have you seen taking pictures with there read facing camera on their iPad? I have only seen one!
    • I wish all of Siri was on the iPad 3. Not just the dictation. It makes no sense to release Siri on the iPhone 4S and not release it on the iPad 3.

QOTD: Are you going to get the iPad 3?

Apple Event planned for March 7th!

The Tech news for the day:
  • Across the iOS and the Android platform, Android app are more expensive. The Top 100 paid apps from post platforms were annualized and on average, android apps are more expensive then their iOS twins. Take that information in any way you want.
  • Adobe Photoshop Touch is now available for iPad 2. Looks great, but is only for iPad 2 on the iOS end.
  • 2 new products will be announced at the Apple event on March 7th. Apple has confirmed that they will launch the iPad 3 and the newly revamped Apple TV. The media event starts at 6 PM Central time.
  • Apple is planning to revamp the MacBook Pro to be thinner and look more like the MacBook Air.
  • Rumor: Apple is planning to start production on a smaller iPad (7.85 as an estimate) by the third quarter of this year.
  • The iPad 3 will come in Black and White and will still include a Home button. This makes me a little sad, I was hoping they would do away with the faulty Home button by now. With their large amount of resources and technology I thought they would have make it as part of the screen by now. I have had my iPod for a little over a year now and my Home button is barley working and I take really good care of it.
  • If you guys want me to I will post my reaction to the Apple Event in some form during/after I watch the event. If you guys would like that post in the comments down below if you would rather read my reaction during the event on Twitter or after the event on here.

Windows 8 is going to suck like Vista!

The Technology news for the week:




  • The logo for Windows 8 has been released. I'm not even going to start my rant on how much this is going to be like Vista! Check out the logo below:
    Windows 8 Metro logo


    • The iPad 3 will have a Retina Display screen and will support 2048×1536 Pixel Resolution. This is not a rumor and has been confirmed by Apple.

    • Rumor: The iPad 3 may be getting a rear 8 Megapixel camera.
    • Rumor: Apple is set to revamp iTunes and the App Store later on this year.
    • Microsoft Office is coming to iPad. Better late then never!
    • Norton just got a little more creepy. Norton Safety Minder keeps an eye on your child's Texts, websites, apps, and much more. I dont understand this, I wouldn't buy this for my children. Its just another way that parents can control their kids lives. It also takes away any privacy that they have. And if you are buying it for younger kids, why do your kids even have Smartphones. I didn't get my first phone until I was in the 8th grade. And I had to pay for everything for it.There are screenshot of it being set up for a 9 year old! Are you freaking kidding me!? I am 19 and I still dont even have a smartphone!

      My iTunes is stuck on Shuffle!

      Ok, since there has been a large amount of lag in the Friday music posts I have decided to try something. On Fridays I will be going to my iTunes and turning on shuffle and who ever is the artist of the song that plays will be the focus for the blog.


      This weeks post is going to be about: Acceptance


      The first time I heard one of their songs was when I bought the Soundtrack for the movie Stealth. The song was Different. Here is a link to the Music Video. As you probably can guess I am a rock fan. This was a song that was slow but had a good sound to it. It took me a while to really like it enough to buy all of their album. They only released one full album and 2 EPs. They weren't very popular and were not around to long either.They started the band in 1998 and broke up in 2006. They are considered alternate rock, but some people believe them to be Christian rock. They are a good band in my eyes and I hope one day that they would get back together so they could make more music.

      Cydia is better then the App Store!

      The Technology news for the day:
      • Rumor: iOS 5.1 is set to release on March 9th.
      • The iPad 3 is to have a Quad Core A6 processor,  2048×1536 Retina Display, and 4G LTE. Some people believe that Apple will announce it on Wednesday, March 7th.
      • A Report from the University Of California shows that Cydia Apps leak less private data than App Store Apps.
      • I have decided to do something new with the Friday post. Since I havent posted any music news lately, since I havent found anything interesting, I am changing the topic of the Friday posts. It is still going to involve music, but with a twist. I dont want to give to much information about it, you will just have to come back tomorrow and find out what it it!

      Siri is a Psycho!

      The Technology new for this week:
      • You guys know that I am a huge Apple/iPhone fan, but there is one phone that I love more then the iPhone. I love the Samsung Galaxy S fan. It is just an amazing phone to me. When I heard that they might be launching the Samsung Galaxy S III this May, I went Crazy! If my contract wasn't up until October I would be getting it the day it releases.
      • Rumor: Macs will get touchscreens...in the future.
      • The next iPhone and the Samsung Galaxy S III will be released with a recent upgrade. The Liquipel Waterproofing Technology is the amazing waterproofing that protects your iPhone from minor water damage. I would still not take it into a pool, just to be safe.




      • There are rumors out that an 42" Apple TV will be released soon. Best Buy released a survey which said that it would "reinvent what a TV can do". I have been waiting for this since Goggle released their TV. The survey said it would have a  42" 1080p LED flat panel display, running iOS, supports iCloud, use your mobile Apple device as a remote, and have a built in iSight camera. It will cost you about $1499. If the Apple TV is real, then it may be the next TV I buy.
      • Rumor: iOS 5.1 to release on March 9th.
      • Rumor: iPad 3 to be released in the first week of March.

      The iPhone 5 is coming this June...maybe

      The Technology news for this week:
      • I have been getting into some new shows lately, How I Met Your Mother and The Big Bang Theory, I have watched some funny episode of both. Here is a clip for The Big Bang Theory that I thought you guys would like.

      • Facebook Timeline to me is a pretty cool idea. The way you can look back at the stuff you don't remember and the horrible stuff you do remember. Well there is now a way to turn that timeline into a movie. With Timeline Movie Maker you can customize the music, say you want it to be cinematic or romantic, and turn the timeline into a very well put together movie. Here is mine: My Timeline Movie
        I just wish that I could download this and post it to Youtube.
      • Rumor:  Apple to launch the iPhone 5 At WWDC This June
      • If you own an iPad or iPad 2 and love Arcade games then is there something awesome out there for you. The ION iCade is something I sold a lot of at Toys R Us around the Holiday season. You can dock your iPad and play classic arcade games using a joystick and the buttons. Check it out below:

      Skyrim just got Awesomerer!

      Today's bit of Gaming News:
      • Half-Life Easter Eggs found in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. Check out the pictures down below. 
      • Skyrim PC mods are out and some of them are really funny. Here are 2 of my favorites: Skyrim My Little Pony Dragon Mod and (Skyrim) Macho Dragon Mod
      • The 1999 mode in BioShock Infinite will challenge ever gaming skill you have and you will die A LOT!
      • Rumor: Xbox Live is moving away from Microsoft points. Microsoft thinks it will be a little safer with all of the hacked accounts and stolen money issues they have been having. If this happens it will be a smart idea, putting an actual price on DLCs and avatar items is smart.
      • Another Rumor: Rocksteady Studios, the people behind the Batman games, is rumored to be working on a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. If it is true and is at any caliber as the Batman games, i'm pretty sure that the game will be awesome.
      • LittleBigPlanet 2 got some new visitors last week. In the new DLC that was released yesterday new costumes and levels were released around the theme of The Muppets. If you have this game and own a PlayStation 3 this a must own DLC. Check out the Trailer for the DLC here: LittleBigPlanet: The Muppets Premium Level Kit
      • LEGO is now developing Minecraft kits. Smart movie by LEGO since there are over 20 Million registered Minecraft users.
      • Yet another rumor: The Xbox 720 will be 6 times faster then the 360. Now that everything is in HD its smart to make a console that only runs in HD (thats why I think it will be 6 time faster.) I then expect more and more games that are so clear and good that they look and feel real. Microsoft still has not confirmed this rumor though.
      • Apple has sold over 50 Million iOS devices in 3 months. Crazy right, Apple is still the #1 Mobile Gaming device in the world.

      Google=Skynet

      Today's bit of Technology News:
      • OnLive Gaming, the gaming service that streams console games directly to your TV, is coming to Google TV. Smart move for Google since Google TV users have been waiting for something like this since the product launched in October 2010.
      • iPhone 5 is rumored to be thinner the iPhone 4S and have support for 3G and 4G networks.
      • Nissan has released a really cool iPhone case, that can heal itself if it is scratched or dropped. Doesn't mean the iPhone is safe. The Product is called the Nissan Juke.
      • Apple is planning a event in early February to launch iOS 5.1 and iPad 3. Which happens to be around the time of Steve Job's Birthday.
      • You can now create your own memes with you Google+ account. Yea thats right, Google+ isn't out of the running yet. You can take your own picture and add memes to it. You could be the next Meme star. But is this enough to get more people onto Google+? I hope so, its starting to turn into a real guys thing, there aren't to many girl on Google+.
