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:
     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:

    I'm glad it still comes in Black!
  • Apple's Tim Cook confirms that the S in the iPhone 4S's name stands for Siri. I still think it should have been 4Steve!

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.

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:

  • 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:

If you ever remember the Greatest Freak out ever videos, here is the collection of all those videos. Go ahead and check them out and tell me what you think.
