I will be writing about new technologies as I find them.
Late Thursday, Apple released beta 8 (build 9m2199) of its iPhone/iPod touch software developer kit while beta certificates issued before June 9th also expired. The beta, a 1.25 gigabyte download, includes iPhone firmware version 5a345 and according to sources, improves stability as well as mentions a developer-only version of iTunes 7.7, which developers can use to “install iPhone OS Beta 8 on your Apple devices.”—from www.tuaw.com
ChordC - Connecting People With Chords, formerly a Flash Desktop Application, Chord Conquering, is now a live interactive website. This initial release brings with it a slew of exciting features not found on the CD. For one, members can interact with other members and share songs or tips on guitar playing. If you have a band and looking for members, this would be a great place to start. Or if you are the greatest guitar player and want to join a band, sign up for a free ChordC profile. This site is definitely not for people who know absolutely nothing about a guitar. The basic knowledge of chords and tabs are required.
Was it really worth the wait? I would have to say heck yea. I’ve been playing with it over the weekend and I can not put it down. I’m a web designer so I live on the internet. Anywhere I can get WiFi access, I’m giddy.

It has been awhile since my last post, but after learning the new policy at Apple, I just couldn’t help but write about it.
I have been supporting Apple and their products ever since I got into using computers. They make quality products and stand behind them. I don’t mind paying the premium price for their product and this new policy change makes me want to support them even more. You can read their full statement here.
This thing is AMAZING!!!!!!!!! I want it now, but gotta wait til June. Gosh! This phone has been in the rumor mill for over 2 years. Now that it’s finally arrived I’m glad I didnt buy into the other “smart” phones that are hell to use.
I was 9 years old when Beverly Hills Cops came out in the theaters and that same year my uncle bought me the Atari 2600 system. Pac-Man was was hot! Nothing close to the arcade version. Annoying sound effects and blocky characters. I could not be beat when I’m playing pac-man with the Axel F theme in the background.
I was playing around with the iTunes Music Store (iTMS) last night and discovered that I can browse music from other countries. After an hour of excitement and contentment, I discovered that I can’t buy any of the albums or song that I’ve been searching for. ARGGGGGGGGHHHH! sucks. Turns out, I need a credit from Japan if I want to buy music from Japan iTMS.
The Desktop
Leopard, Apple’s new operating system, is making it’s way to the hearts of all Mac lovers. It’s tag line “Advancing the world’s most advanced operating system.” Will it live up to its hype? Steve Jobs and Co. has a way of hyping up and making their products shine.
