Friday's are now yours!

Hi, this isn't a normal blog for a Friday. Normally I go through my iTunes library at random and pick an artist to write about. I thought that was kind of getting old and I was thinking of what to do. I couldn't come up with anything, but I did have an Idea. What if i left this decision up to you, the readers.

From now until next Friday morning you can post an idea for the topic of the Friday blog post in the comments section of any blog. If I happen to get more then one idea, I will rotate them out every week or let you vote on your favorite one. If I happen not to get any ideas, then I will just continue on with the music blog.

So, let your creative juices flow!

QOTD: Any ideas?

Leaked images of the iPhone 5!

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:

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.
• A group of people created concept images based on all of the iPhone 5 reports and rumors. These are by far the coolest concept images I have seen so far. Check them out below:
  
  
  
• 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. I hope you like them as much as I do! Here is the most recent video by them:

The iPad Mini is small!

The Technology news for the week:

• Here is what the 7.85 inch iPad Mini would look like:
  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.

Tim Cook is better then Steve Jobs?!

The Technology news for the week:

• 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:
  
  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:

• 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.
