First impression? This is going to be my new default browser. Very minimal, streamlined, fast, etc…but it does use double the processing power of Safari or Firefox – I’ll live though. Again fast and minimal – and that’s without all it’s features found for Windows implemented yet.
Mountain View, California is soon going to be recognized on the same level (if it isn’t already) as Redmond or Cupertino. Once again, Google is taking over the internet with superiorly designed product – what a novel concept. Though I don’t really like relying so heavily on single corporation, I hope Google fosters competition, making computing better for all.
While Jay-Z turns 40 today, giving a whole new meaning to his 40/40 club, here is a remix of his song, December 4th. I like the 9th Wonder remix much better than the original, so that’s why it’s up here. Enjoy.
While exams are on, I’m going to post a quick hitter (or two) each day.
The Worst Layup Ever, David Wesley
Sorry for the quality, but this is just embarrassing, check out 0:16 to see just how bad this is. If Lebron wants out of Cleveland it’s because he’s had to play with washed up ass-clowns like this.
N.B. I know a lot of Blackberry users read this, and there has been an announcement that RIM has partnered with Adobe to bring you Flash, but it is not yet on your phones.
Today, Gizmodo’s Jesus Diaz wrote a piece which lamented the iPhone’s lack of video calling, which can be found here. While I would love if video calling came to the iPhone, there are other more important features the iPhone is missing, and one of them is ADOBE FLASH! The minds at Apple have long excluded a feature in their devices until it is deemed “smooth enough” to be part of the Apple experience (at least this is their public reason). Well, what is the excuse for making a web-based phone that can not run Flash!
Flash has long been an internet standard, but at the time of the iPhone’s release, Flash would have been to complex to run on the iPhone, fine I understand that. But Apple should have made partnering with Adobe a top priority, to get a Flash out to users as fast as possible. Not only has Apple not actively done anything to bring Flash to the iPhone, but their competitors have made deals with Adobe to get it to their platforms! Most notably, RIM (Research in Motion, the maker of the Blackberry, for the n00bs out there) has stated it is one of their top priorities!
I am really hoping Apple has some super, top-secret release planned, but each day that goes by without hearing an announcement, the more I wonder. Has Steve Jobs Apple gone mad? Do they think they alone can rule the internets?! It’s not as if Flash is going away anytime soon. I hope they aren’t waiting for Flash to “blow over” and introduce a next-generation technology to the iPhone, when half of the internet will still be Flash-based! Okay maybe not half of the internet, but every time I can’t watch my NBA highlights from NBA.com, because Flash doesn’t work, I’m going to start sending Apple angry emails.
Is it just me, or is there a higher proportion of Black Friday sales this year in Canada? It’s not even our Thanksgiving! Retailers still must be hurting, despite cutting their inventories…interesting.
Your thoughts?
And Happy Thanksgiving to all the Yanks out there.
As I have been studying hard lately, I missed the fact that Haydain Neale, the singer from jacksoul passed away. This is terrible news, and my thoughts and wishes go out to the Neale family.
The man who modelled some of the most sought after kicks in recent memory, the Nike x Swagger Dunks, has traded modelling for the microphone, and released a mixtape. At first glance, Lupe Fiasco’s enemy of the state: a love story, is anything but a normal mixtape. It is only one track, but that track is 22 minutes long, and 22 good minutes at that. This contrasts Lil Wayne’s No Ceilings, half of the mixtape is filler; either interludes or his buddies’ tracks. However, Lupe is Lupe for 21/22 minutes, and he goes hard. I like Lupe’s approach, cut the crap.
I’ve been into mixtapes for a long time, but its funny how the game has evolved. Wale, Wiz Khalifa, and most notably Drake all have been born out of mixtapes and the resulting hype. Now, it is not uncommon for a major artist to put out a mixtape promoting their upcoming album – Lupe is no exception. His album tentatively titled Lasers is set to drop in December.
