• Facebook is planning to integrate Instagram filters into their mobile app very soon. Soon, the Instagram app will virtually useless. I hope that they keep this going and release a new filter once a month just to keep things new and fresh.
• This is what happens when you grill and iPad 3 and a Galaxy Tab 10.1:
  
  Crazy right?
  
• iOS 5.1.1 has been released this past week. If you havent downloaded it yet and dont know what is coming with it, here is what the update includes:
  
  If you have a jailbroken device, do not download or install this update until the new jailbreak for your device comes out.
• And now for the Youtube Channel of the Week, which is: Barats and Bereta
  They are a comedy duo that has been making videos on Youtube for years now. They have been around since December of 2005. I subscribed to them back in  late 2009, early 2010. They were actually the reason that I made a YouTube account. I remember sitting in chemistry class with some friends of mine watching their videos and dying laughing. Here is the most recent video by them:

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.

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.
