The I.T. Life

This one left me scratching my head, but it is something only Apple could get away with. A new app was just released (by Apple) that is nothing more than a slideshow of all the current ads in the iAd network.

Apple seems to think that its ad network runs such high quality ads people would be willing to browse them just like content.

You may laugh but if you have a iOS device chances are your going to check it out.

The Apple Store has recently been replaced by the beloved yellow sticky note, and it seems the big change is that they have removed any evidence of the white iPhone 4. There were rumor that we would see the white iPhone 4 this year, however with this change it is looking more like its been wiped from history. 9to5mac had a source check Apples inventory system and noticed the white iPhone SKU was completely removed.

It sounds as if there is a MacBook Air update in the works, as Intel is building a new ultra low voltage chip that should replace Core 2 Duo chips that currently run them. Apple has stuck with the Core 2 Duo for several revisions now, which has confused many people considering the MacBook Pros uses i5 and i7 chips. Now, the reason that is likely behind this is the Core 2 Duo is a fairly low voltage chip, which would be required to allow the NVIDIA GPU chip. The rumor is that in June we will see these new MacBook Air’s, I’m hoping this is true because I’ve wanted to upgrade to a Air for a while but the old processor has been holding me back.

It may only be 5MP, but it is also only $130. The cool thing is the flash is actually an IR light that lets you take photos darkness.

Check it out at ThinkGeek.

I’m going to order a few of these, because 65% more bullet is a great deal.

Now here is a cool idea, the GoPano Micro is a handy little device that clips on your iPhone camera and lets you instantly record panoramic videos. Currently on kickstarter with a goal of $20’000 to get this into production, I would love to see this made.

Just as I start to dust off my old Nikon DSLR and get back into the hobby, Nikon gives me a new toy to drool over. The D5100 is a 16.2-megapixel camera with an ISO-range from 100-6400. The LCD screen of the camera rotates out so you can view on from any position, and it also features a few effects modes for both video and still. It can record 1080p video, supports a external mic, and will be available for $800 body only.

The smell, the sound, the taste, I can feel it! I love barbecuing, and to be honest I do it year round (even in snow), but always with propane. I’ve been tempted for a few years now to try charcoal, and even got some plans together to make a brick fireplace in my back yard this summer.

Of course, all that may easily change now that I”ve seen the Park Style BBQ. For $100 this would be a great addition to my backyard giving me both a bit of extra decore (admit it, its cool looking) and a great additional way to cook my food.  Now, how much is shipping to Canada?

If this doesn’t bring back fond memories of your (or somebodies) childhood, you have had a sad life. I can’t watch this without getting a little choked up, thanks Pixar, your just great.

I’ve never done anything cool enough to buy one, but I’ve always loved the GoPro Hero cameras. Such a small and affordable camera with touch housing would be so cool for kayaking or skiing (my problem is I don’t do either enough).
I’m sure you all know very well how I feel about 3D, but perhaps the fact that this is GoPro changes my feelings a little bit. For $99 (and the cost of 2 Hero cameras) you can record 1080p 3D video of your latest adventure (or stupid stunt). Perhaps its the fact that I see the GoPro being great to prove how I got that latest scar makes 3D all the more fun.

And just incase your not familiar with the Hero, or how fun a product this is, check out the video below.
