Video: Glassjaw Acoustic Live at the Apple Store (2003)

had the urge to hear this again... i was revamping my calendar project and was fiending for a listen!

iPhone: Apple Preview of OS 3.0

Engadget is reporting that Apple will be hosting a media event on Tuesday, March 17th to demonstrate iPhone OS 3.0, the next major upgrade to the iPhone operating system. Apple will reportedly also provide details on a new iPhone Software Development Kit (SDK) to aid developers in creating applications for the new operating system.

iPhone: Fandango App

Man... what a great fucking idea! I can't believe they didn't have this earlier.

I actually really needed this on Valentine's day weekend. I was trying to watch Coraline in 3D and had to settle for Taken. *shudders*

More info on that here

(fandango is a service where you can buy movie tickets online and pick them up at the theater... impress your dates with a few clicks on your iPhone)

iPhone: Copy and Paste on OS 3.0

Wow. Dude is right: how the fuck did apple wait till 3.0 to have a copy and paste function?!?!?

Anyway. I can't believe there are so many people excited to see these dorky duchebags talk about technology. It's like the Wayne's World of G4... and the people are loving it. I thought SXSW was about music... apparently I was wrong.

Also announced: MMS and video recording would not be present in this release nor the ability to run background applications.

Video: Nike SB Team in Mexico, Chile, Hong Kong, China

Video is kinda cool, but what I thought was dope was the track they're using in the background. Cantonese rap music is (slowly) getting better!

TV: The Simpsons in HD

What else can I say, but this shit is the WACKNESS.

Forget HD. Just keep it the way it was. If it ain't broke don't fix. Invest in new writers, not new animation techniques - cause the last 3 HD episodes have sucked ass.

Don't make me start watching the Family Guy, Mr. Greoning. You're on thin ice. I've defended your show for years now and have resisted watching or enjoying any Family Guy.

Throwback: Slum Village - "Selfish"

Hmm, stopped over at Drizzy's blog today, and noticed that he posted a throwback Slum Village track. I was never a huge fan, but boy did I love this one. I'm pretty sure Justin Bua did the artwork on the video Drake posted.

Watch the music video here. Download the album "Detroit Deli: Taste of Detroit" here.

I've been bumping the new So Far Gone mixtape a lately, download download it here.

iPhone: The End of Fat Fingers

The one thing I dislike about the iPhone is that I hate how I can't text and drive at the same time.

More specifically I tend to get 'fat finger syndrome' where my fingers often hit the wrong keys on the digital keyboard. This video shows how someone figured out how to hook up his wireless apple keyboard to the iPhone.

I want to learn how to do this now!

iPhone: Depeche Mode Pass

I heard the new DM song last night on KROQ and I must say "Wrong" sounds amazing.

So iTunes is trying to do this pass thing w/ Depeche Mode, and you can read more about that here.

But really who cares, 'cause a kid like me who knows how to work a computer will end up getting the album for free before the release date. I already got all the stuff on the iTunes digital single.

You can too.

iPhone: Watchmen App

I heard the movie blows and you can see the blue guy's weiner throughout the film.

...but regardless a few days ago (before finding the above video) I downloaded the Watchmen app anyway. I didn't download it because I wanted to watch the movie but because I was interested of what could possibly be on an app for a movie. I opened it, was sent to a link for the preview and was bored after 5 minutes and felt like such a tool for even downloading it. It's like Sean, Brian and all the other ad kids tell me: people don't like knowing they're being sold to... but if that's so true, then why is this in the top 25 free apps of the week?

iPhone: Rumors of iPhone Pro for June 2009 release

Damn, I just got one of these too.

Apparently they're lowering the price of the 3G phone by $99 and introducing a new one in June. More details here.

iPhone: iPhone VS cell phone past (video)

Ever wonder what would happen if your iPhone reunited with all the models of cell phone past?

iPhone: 31 Fart Apps

I remember one of the first weeks of class Sean mentioned that the iFart app was one of the most popular applications for the iPhone. Apparently there are now 31 different apps - all compiled onto one video.

iPhone: Manage Your DirecTV

How cool would it be to be able to control your DVR thru your iPhone? Be able to change your settings and record your favorite shows from anywhere without your remote!

According to this post, it's on the horizon... now if only I still had DirecTV :(

iPhone: Using iTunes to Organize Your Apps

Cool concept video found on Gizmodo on how to organize your iPhone apps using iTunes. Which is a great idea because of how disposable some applications are - esp. the free ones. You can sort apps based upon usage, category and more!

I think this is a great idea, because it would encourage people to connect the phone to their computer and sync it more often!

Music Video: Lil Wayne "Prom Queen" x KoRn

Yes, I'm aware this video is probrably a few weeks old, the song's been out for quite a while. I'm not a huge fan of Lil Wayne doing a rock record and this song bugged the hell out of me the first few times I heard it, but if you look at it in the vein of a rapper trying to do a pop rock song, it after a few listens it really isn't all that bad.

Anyways, but that's coming from someone who was a huge rap metal fan in the late 90's.

But why I really posted is because while watching the video, I noticed that the members of KoRn are in the video. Again, two of my favorite things put together - even on a song I would never admit to enjoying. I wasn't sure who's playing guitar in the video (most likely Munky, as Head is no longer in the band), but Fieldy (who sure got raggier looking) is definately on bass and Jonathan Davis is definately on the drums.

I stopped being a KoRn fan about 10 years ago, but it's nice to see them still involved in today's popular music.
