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:
   
  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!

Tim Cook is better then Steve Jobs?!

• 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:
