Steve Ballmer, another Mac addict.
I didn't confirm this, but personally believe it:
Steve Ballmer, executive at Microsoft Corporation, recently presented certain presentations, . . . but not from Windows.
Shown here, Ballmer seems to actually be presenting off of a MacBook Pro (Apple).
It's no surprise, really. Fact is they're a much better machine.
Speed Racer Trailer
Another sick movie with what looks like a terrible story line that I cannot wait to see.
Everybody loves Speed Racer! I haven't even heard that name in years!
Regardless, even if you're not a Speed Racer fan, the point is that you really need to watch this trailer. It looks like nothing I've seen that I can remember.
Fairy-tale futuristic and highly graphically accelerated scenery in High Definition 1080p will drop your jaw! (especially if you're watching it on a Mac!).
Here's a direct link to the High Definition version of the trailer.
All you need to do is have QuickTime installed, sit back, relax, click 1080p when your choices pop up & put the trailer in Full Screen as soon as it starts playing.
Then, post a comment to this blog entry letting us all know what you thought.
Apple: David Beckham Gets a Gold iPod Touch
Wow. Now that's a hot iPod! Almost like how that Middle Eastern Prince (son of an Oil Tycoon Billionaire) bought a Silver Audi. Silver wasn't the color, it was the solid material that the car was made from!
Amazing; as if paying for Apple toys these days isn't enough, now we gotta bling 'em out. Who the hell cares if you Music Player is gold, silver, aluminum, or metal? I bet that 90% of the people who buy the best of the best, (whether 32GB Touch vs. 16 GB Touch, Gold vs. Silver, etc. ) don't even use the freikin' thing / don't even listen to music.
Walt Says 3G iPhone Coming in 60 Days
The Rumor started 'straight from the horses mouth'.
AT&T Mobility CEO Ralph de la Vega slipped recently at CTIA & was q
uoted by MANY sources to have said that the iPhone will be 3G compatible "in 60 days".
Now, this was in the first few days of April 2008, which puts de la Vega's timeline at an early June 2008 release. That would be 1 year (approx.) from the previous generation, which is quite common & typical for Apple to do.
In case we heard him wrong, Sascha Segan of PC Magazine apparently asked de la Vega 'Does this include iPhone'. Ralph simply answered, "Let me repeat what I said: I think that you're going to see our integrated devices be 3G devices in the not-too-distant future, and I mean months. That should be clear enough."
Easy for him to say considering he probably left & spoke on the damn 3G iPhone the whole drive home.
Back to throwing cash in the piggy bank for me. As much as I could sit here & say I don't need one, I know I'll get one. I love my iPhone too much; I have so much faith in the thing. Although, there are nuances that I'm looking forward to being fixed in the new version.
AT&T Mobility CEO Ralph de la Vega just confirmed what everyone's been asking about: The 3G iPhone. It's coming. In months.

AppleInsider | Wireless power, charging technology may unplug Apple's iPhone
It's scary what's flying in the air that the human eye can't see. Songs, movies, credit card numbers, stores, you name it & it's all around you without you even knowing.
Some believe that the increased percentage of the population developing illnesses such as cancer, etc. could be caused from the radiation in the air.
What do you think those guys are gonna say when there's artificially generated or un-naturally compiled signals of 'Electricity' floating around. We're not talking about static shocks or anything like that, we're talking charging your phone or other electronic device.
We all saw this coming; the only remaining questions are when & what it'll do to us that will take us 10+ years to discover.

For all you iPhone hackers out there, big up to the iPhone Dev Team!!!
As y'all know, they're long promised PWNAGE Utility 1.0 is now out!
Pwnage has a unique approach to hacking an iPhone. Unlike 'JailBreak', it contains features such as 'BootNeutering' which literally bypasses the entire iPhone BootLoader Security Checksum. This means that theoretically, hacked iPhones can now download new Firmware Releases as they're released without worrying about Bricking your iPhone & it becoming a $500 paperweight.
So, attempting to load software other than the updates Apple releases isn't impossible anymore.
They've also included a 'Baseband Updater' & Unlock Baseband feature to literally allow users to unlock their phones with 1 checkbox.
You can control your Bootloader & choose v4.6 or to downgrade to 3.9.
Personally, I feel comfortable enough with the rumors about the 3G iPhone at this point to say that as soon as I see it hit the shelves, I'm gonna try some crazy code injections into my current iPhone knowing I'm getting one of the 3G's & my current iPhone will be my solid 100% development toy.
Speaking of 3G, word on the street (reliable sources) is that buddy Stevie put in an order for 10 million 3G chips from an Asian Manufacturer (weeks ago). That puts our first 10 million iPhone 3G's in stores say about June - July 2008.
Oh yeh, I forgot to mention this: I'm a member of the real iPhone ADC (Apple Developer's Connection / Network). I've been dabbling with the iPhone SDK & made some fun applications that I may post up on this site once iPhone Firmware 2.0 is public (at this point, my apps only run on 1.2.0 [to be released possibly as 2.0] & users are running 1.1.4.).
Stevie, what do you have to say about this??
Officer Torres, police officials said, committed three robberies at two branches of Sovereign Bank — twice in Manhattan and once in Pennsylvania — apparently using some of the $118,305 for a new car, for a diamond engagement ring for his girlfriend and to pay off his student loans.

Apple notebook lines to see major design changes, sources say
Youu buy a brand new MacBook or MacBook Pro knowing you're getting the latest out there with a Multi-Touch touchpad & an Intel Core 2 Duo Fast Processor & before you know it, even a newer line of MacBooks are out. You just can't win.
Apple has obviously realized that they could come out with new upgrades to existing products weekly & they'll have a massive market keeping up-to-date.
So what's the next big portable unit projected?? New MacBooks & MacBook Pro's.
Being that I got mine in November 2007, I'm gonna hang on a few more years. Maybe I'll get one of the first flying MacBooks, LOL!

If a verified message from aliens is ever received, would the public really be told about it?

More GTA (Grand Theft Auto) IV Multiplayer Shots
The game that's got gamers on the edge of their seats; it's Grand Theft Auto IV.
As with previous versions, the pre-order is currently available in many stores & the game will sell like hotcakes once it's released. The only difference? This is as real as it gets.
I posted the trailer for GTA IV in a previous blog entry in DigitZero; feel free to search for it. This game is 'off the hook!'
The funny part is; I don't even have a recent gaming system. I've got a Play Station 2 which I haven't used in literally almost 2 years now. That's what happens when you become really busy.
Enjoy these updated screenshots!
