Predictions (short and sweet, like I need to do this.):
iPhone 3G: 100%
iPhone apps: 100%
Apple compatible with Microsoft (exchange): 90%
iTunes changes. (rentals, and maybe just maybe subscriptions): 70%
New iMacs, Mac Pros, Macbook: 0%
New OSX: 80%
New .MAC (something about .Mac services, and making it more personal): 60%
The new iPhone is fastly approaching. (June, experts say) High speed 3G wireless internet being the major upgrade. It got us thinking at work about other features we'd like to have for our iPhones. So, a group of us at work decided to make a list.
1. Battery!!!
2. Contact Button
3. Copy & Paste
4. 3G
5. Button Background
6. A microwave
7. Voice Dialing
8. Homepage On Browser
9. No Interference
10. Bluetooth Upgrade
11. Angelina Jolie's Number
12. A Decent Product
13. Louder
As you can see, there are three other preferred options we'd like to have before the precious 3G. The first being the battery, please energizer bunny save us!!!!
After the list lingered on my white board for about a week I decided to re-vamp the list to my own wishes, just in case Apple or AT&T is reading.
1. Battery!!!
2. 3. Contact Button
3. 2. Copy & Paste
4. 3G
5. 6. Button Background (I think this means a background on the home screen, bling.)
6. A microwave (HA!!, funny.)
7. 5. Voice Dialing
8. Homepage On Browser ( This isn't nessissary, really, not even sure why I mentioned it. :/ )9. 7. No Interference
10. 8. Bluetooth Upgrade (Bluetooth isn't stereo? Like anyone is going to listen to the iPhone.)
11. Angelina Jolie's Number (Another funny! I wanted Alba, but we need someone to appeal to women and men.)
12. A Decent Product (This was added by the I.T. guy. He hates Apple.)13. 9. Louder
Still, 3G is a lesser desired feature than other, more productive, wishes.
OK Apple, your ball. Man, I can't wait for the new iPhone to come out.
My boss was looking around for some flash sourced inspiration and found this development platform called Processing. It's quite impressive. Here is an example of a movie made with Processing. Great song, and the movie is amazing.
If you send a zip, exe, osx, dll, com, bat, or any other "dangerous" file as an attachment in gmail, it'll claim it's malicious and refuse to send it.
You could use file transfers like box.net, megaupload and rapidshare. But they cost $$ and you need to train the receiver on how to get the file.
So, here is a tip:
If it's a zip file, rename the extension of the file from ".zip" to ".dat" and send it! This goes for dll, exe, osx, bat, and com (haha) files too.
If you have more than one badass file, zip them all up and rename the extension to .dat first. Then send it!!!
