Available in 1GB or 2GB varieties, this iPod USB drive is priced from $40 and can double as a geeky necklace when not in use.And the flexible silicon coating makes it simple to get at the USB connector without a removable cover that you would eventually lose. If you are buying this purely for use as a memory stick, it does use USB 2 for faster transfers. Look that cutie Apple. It’s cute. No. It’s adorable.

I’ve never seen a robot band playing a good music but this one is too awesome. I’m admit that, they are playing better than me. Watch them playing in the video below. This one will definitely sold out if they could perform on the stage.
Held in the Comcast Center, this gigantic 10-million pixel video wall is touted as “the largest four-millimeter LED screen in the world, measuring 83.3ft x 25.4ft. Couldn’t resist the awesome right? Watch the video for more realistic view.

Still no MMS, A2DP or copy/paste? That’s was a letdown. Come on Apple. You lads can do better than this.

Make sure it worth to buy. And also, please include Malaysia in your list. We want this to invade our home.

I’ve been to enough Steve Jobs keynotes now to know that the man is able to take a crowd and bend it to his will. Every time, I’ve been a willing subject - sometimes (but not every time) to find myself in a hangover-like state a day later when I try to remember exactly why I thought that whatever he was pitching would change my life forever.
Steve Jobs is masterful and charismatic when he’s on stage and all eyes are on him. And when, like yesterday, the crowd is carefully packed with a throng of Apple developers cheering him on, the press in attendance can easily get caught up in the hype. He’s not nearly so charismatic in person, and I believe that’s why Apple will probably not, as Dave Winer suggests
, ever move to a televised delivery of their big news while Jobs is in charge. The videos just don’t communicate the man’s magnetic charm in quite the same way.
So while I agree with Charles Cooper that Apple may sometimes get more press, and more compliant press, than they “should,” I think he and others miss the (much) larger point: Apple, and Steve Jobs, stoke our imagination in a way that no other technology company has ever done. Apple is about elegance, design, and potential, and we love them for it.
The device is now fully location aware, open to developers, enterprise-friendly and moves data 3x as fast. And it is a lot cheaper. Yes, it has no physical keyboard and some people can’t yet get over that. And the battery life isn’t great. But those are about the only negative things I can say about it.
The iPhone is a closed system, with locked down hardware and platform, and rigid rules for outside developers. Android is all about open. And open is always better, right?
As we’ve seen with Macs v. Windows, and then the iPod v. everyone, closed systems can work. Users will trade price and flexibility in exchange for simplicity and elegance. That’s hard to do when you’re building software that will work across a broad range of devices, technologies and software providers. It’s easy to do when you control both ends of the system, and everything in between.
Ultimately I concede that Android may have a much larger market share than the iPhone. But I’ll argue that the iPhone users will be much happier, even as Apple makes obscene profits off of that smaller user base.
I love the iPhone for the same reason I love technology in general, and loved Disneyland as a child - it drives my imagination and makes me wonder what kind of magic to expect next. Also, it just works.
The new iPhone, like the old one, delivers all of that in abundance. And I can’t wait to see what comes next.
Magnetic fields are invisible, at least usually. But Scientists from NASA’s Space Sciences Laboratory have made them visible as “animated photographs,” using sound-controlled CGI and 3D compositing. It makes the fields, as explained by the scientists, dance in an absolutely gorgeous movie called Magnetic Movie. You don’t want to miss this one, which is the coolest video that you’ll see all week, guaranteed. You can’t argue with a combo of beautiful effects and amazing science.
