** this is not real but it looks cool
Apple, Inc. is developing a new iPhone to debut this summer and also appears to be working on a model for U.S. mobile phone operator Verizon Wireless, say people briefed on the matter. – Read the full article
Easing of Gun Restrictions Leading to Increasing
-ly less deaths. The headline shown below sums it up. True, the headline was posted on the frequently pro-gun site “MSNBC.com” who is in bed with the NRA. And, just kidding.
Being MSNBC they drone on about how there’s really no way to say for sure even though the statistics point to increased safety with increased firearms.
But taking their stance on cause-and-effect relationships for global warming (where if carbon dioxide increases and scientists get caught making up data that temperatures increased = the debate is over) I’d say reading between the lines it’s a sure-fire bet.
Americans overall are far less likely to be killed with a firearm than they were when it was much more difficult to obtain a concealed-weapons permit, according to statistics collected by the federal Centers for Disease Control. But researchers have not been able to establish a cause-and-effect relationship.
The Most Awesome Phone Ever of the Year
With technology changing so fast, who knows what will exist by the time this phone hits for Spring in the summer. But for now, it’s pretty much the coolest phone I’ve ever seen. The first 4G phone, the HTC Evo, is on Sprint, so that sucks, but then again Sprint’s 4G and WiMax turn it into a speed powerhouse unlike any other.
It has a list of features I didn’t even know were being considered for cell phones, only have heard of them in a “boy it’d be awesome if” conversation with my friends.
My iPhone’s pretty cool, but it doesn’t even come close to matching the specs of this beast.
Here are just a few of the head turners that I’d swap out my iPhone for if I didn’t have to switch networks.
- Android operating system
- 4G and 3G download speeds (apparently way faster).
- 1GHz Snapdragon processor
- 8MP camera
- 1GB of built-in storage, along with 512MB of RAM. (iPhone has 256 RAM)
- Runs Flash seamlessly
- The HTC Evo will work as a hotspot for up to eight devices. This means your friends can jump onto a wi-fi connection using the phone. Apparently they tested it and streamed a movie on another device through it perfectly.
- HD Video Recording, and HDMI Output
- A built in Kickstand. Sounds dumb, but I want one quite often on my phone as long as it’s built solidly into the structure.
Will I become a Sprint Customer. Probably not. If the iPhone doesn’t take a big leap this summer…probably will.

Street Fighter II: Real Life Edition
If Street Fighter II or perhaps Double Dragon happened in real life, it would look pretty much like this. I know UFC and MMA are all the rage, but these old-school boxing skills are probably what I’d want on my side if taking on a wave of thugz.
Iron Man 2 Trailer Released
Some awards were given last night at the Academy Awards, but when they got back to the interesting part (the commercials) you would’ve been able to catch the rowdy new trailer for Iron Man 2.
I have to say it doesn’t make me want to see it anymore than the last trailer did, but that’s ok since I couldn’t have wanted to see it more than I already did.
What?? It’s superheroes, man.
Hulu Movie Tagging More Helpful Than Planned.
Apparently Hulu lets people add their own “tags” to its streaming movies…and it’s a bit..errr…”Tromatizing.”
