iPhone 3.0

Apple has just released the 3.0 software update... though at first i thought i had bricked it because it wasnt responding, it did the software and firmware upgrade without a problem. Just sync'd my S9 Bluetooth headphones and they work amazingly well. Im very happy with the update. two other items i tried and worked really well are the voice notes and copy-and-paste. The stocks app its got some new features and are really helpful. I will have to see over the long term if the news section it pulls up is actually relevant.

It seems the signal from the bluetooth is stronger and crisper from the iPhone than from the MacBook Pro, very interesting. The MBP seemed to pick up a lot of static and the iPhone is very clear. The bluetooth headphone controls arent all working, you can control play and pause but not skip or return. maybe they will fix this glitch. when you are using the bluetooth headphones the volume control is hidden in the iTunes app.

Its great that a lot more apps support the widescreen keyboard for typing.

my S9 headphones... yay! really work

My S9 bluetooth headphones rock!

I had been using wired headphones and yanking them on a regular basis till they came up with bluetooth stereo headphones...

My first pair (see entry below) were short lived since it fell apart right away. And the quality sucked.

These S9 headphones are really good, sound is very acceptable *wired headphones are better.

they sync to my MacBook Pro easily and stay connected which was a problem with my previous pair. Battery life is exceptionally long, 5-6 hours on a charge. about 30 feet range wich works great when you are working around the room near your source. I had purchased (separately) a bluetooth dongle for hooking it up to a Winblow$ XP machine and that worked too... too bad i lost the dongle since it was tiny.

I recomend to anyone looking for wireless headphones, these are great. Not audiophile quality sound but it's very clear and lightweight. for me the behind the ear positioning isnt bad, while some people had mentioned that they dont like behind the ear headphones.

it also works great as a bluetooth headset for phones, but it really its a shame that stupid Apple hasnt released bluetooth headphone codecs yet. they said it will be included in iPhone 3.o software update but we will see. I really want to sync it with my iPhone to listen to music and podcasts.

I say this is something everyone NEEDS.

Uh?

This is just hillarious, why didn't anyone post this kind of video before the election. If people saw what a mumbling idiot he is, there would have been a more fair coverage of the elections. we have been fooled into electing a complete fool to run the country, and by "we" i mean you idiots who voted for him.

Global Warming Rally in Washington, D.C. March 2 2009

This is the only known photo:




"I was going to go to the global warming rally, but it was too cold outside..." -- CNN

other mentions:

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) Snowed-Out of Global Warming Rally , had to cancel an appearance Monday at a global warming rally in Washington, D.C., that was hit by a snowstorm because
her flight was delayed due to "inclement weather"

House Select Energy Independence and Global Warming Chairman Edward Markey (D-Mass.), who was scheduled to speak at the global warming event, also canceled his appearance because of the "inclement weather"

(seems they cant bear to say it was too fucking cold to show up, weather was mid-20's)

Somehow, im beginning to have my doubts. If you really believe it, you follow through. Seems even the organizers arent willing to brave 20 degree weather to protest the globe is warming up... or they just dont want to be caught in a photo labeled "irony".

HMMM

Fresh & Easy

Went shopping for the first time at this small market near my house. Been kinda sick of shopping at Ralphs and all their bullshit, and the local hispanic markets. One, Ralphs sucks when it comes to their prices (ridiculously expensive), the cashiers are rude, always have shady characters asking for money at the door and throught the parking lot... yes, i live in Lost Angeles.
Two, hispanic markets have slightly lower prices, but boy, they feel like you are in a third world country... dirty, unorganized and everything looks like it's on its last day before expiration. (That's another thing, i've bought milk at Ralphs several times thats been after its expiration date) So this brings me to my point, Fresh & Easy, i walked in expecting really expensive individually packaged produce... but i just had to check it out. To my surprise, really inexpensive and great produce. The store was really clean and well organized. Great selection of produce. must note that they do one thing, and not try and have a pharmacy or hardware depts. I was surprised at the "Green" emphasis and "Organic" selections. The checkout was somewhat puzzling, its like the Home Depot's self check-out. But I think I will be shopping there from now on. = )

Rest In Peace, John McGraham

On Oct 9th night... someone trew gasoline on this poor homeless man, and set him on fire. he lived on 3rd street, and died at the hands someone bent on proving how caloused they were. well they succeeded, they proved they were the most caloused people in Lost Angeles. Also, proved how ignorant and stupid people can become. This act was a few steps below the mass executions of the Nazis, the Khmer Rouge, and the all infamous mass murderers of history. They didnt just kill an innocent man, they proved that humanity isnt any better today. Regardless of how you feel about a homeless man, you have to admit to yourself that killing of an innocent man makes us all more vulnerable. Morality decays all the more faster when acts like this happen. We should all worry that these individuals are still on the loose.

Firefox add ons

As an avid web user... I come across all kinds of stuff on the net. For the most part it is safe for your computer to surf just about anywhere. But everynow and then you see a pop up that wants to install something on your system. Thankfully I am using a mac and a.) i get a pop up that something wants to attach itself to my system, b.) its usually a PC virus as a .exe that just bounces off. Since seeing that kind of stuff I am less likely to use my PC's for browsing, browse on a mac specially if youa re going to sites unknown... I read this very interesting article on privacy, click here. And began installing add-ons to my firefox browser. I can't wait till Google Chrome is available for the Mac, seems to do a lot of things i want. They mention IE has a lot of built in safety but M$ has a shitty history of putting things together. Since Chrome is a memory hog and IE sux, i would go with Firefox and just install a few blocking plug-ins. Surf away but do it safely, nothing worse than a virus infested machine.
