Make that App look Pretty 08/24/2008
 If you are skilled with photoshop you are now able to fool even the savviest of venture capitalists. Or if you really do need the money, Geoff Teehan and crew have come up with a Photoshop PSD library full of UI assets that you can use to come up with beautiful pictures of your soon to be completed app! The download is available for no cost. Hope all you app developers find this useful! iHologram (FAKEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE) 08/24/2008
Contrary to reports on other websites, the iHologram app is just a concept rendering of what could be a very cool app for the phone. The video as seen below demonstrates how a simple drawing could hypothetically be viewed in 3D if the character is oriented correctly. Thanks for Listening Apple! 08/23/2008
 In response to a lot of grumblings and some screaming Apple has decided to make a dedicated iphone software update page. The site does not go too much in depth with Steve's phone, but it does show that Apple is starting to listen to customer complaints and may be taken customer support more seriously. You can follow the previous link and see what it's all about. iTunes 8 and the iPhone 08/23/2008
 Contrary to the rumblings from other blog sites, my source tells me that iTunes 8 likely will not have the "unlimited" feature where you pay a yearly subscription to access all music on iTunes. He cites Jobs' desire to allow people to "own" their music rather than renting it out. He also cites the recent MobileMe and iPhone activation debacle as an indication that Apple is not going to be rushing any new type of software on us in the short future. Obviously this rumor has had some legs as it has been talked about over the past couple years, but this one is really just the dream of a couple people that probably are still using rhapsody. Here are the "supposed" features of the new iTunes 8 that will in fact not be released. WISHFUL THINKING!! Don't Blame iPhone! 08/22/2008
 Apparently the 3G problems that are plaguing iPhone users are not exclusive to the 3G. The Blackberry Bold as reported by Electronista is having its own heap of problems on AT&T's "fastest" network.  OpenClip WAS an open-source framework that allowed the iPhone user to copy and past text between programs. This app allowed the user to get closer to the much requested, but even more rebuked desire for actual copy and pasting. The application actually did not function cooperatively as much as it exploited a loophole in the iPhone's framework. This would allow the app to access the directory of other iPhone applications. The problem is Apple makes it very clear that they will no longer tolerate the exploitation of this loophole as the information is recessed in a secure location...blah, blah, blah. Basically they are bringing up security claims to make it seem as though the user shouldn't have access to such a fine feature. Oh well, another day, another broken. It seems they are more apt to let apps like I'm Rich, than let iPhone users have the features they really want.  Someone working for Cyan Worlds ( the creators of Myst) decided it best to let the world in on a little secret. There is a tiny three person team working furiously on the project, the post gives no hint at where the outside funding is coming from. There are no details about the game itself i.e. how it's played, will it follow the same storyline. It should be noted that if pulled off people will lose countless more hours as Myst was highly addictive and known as one of the premiere games throughout the 90's.  They are some whispers coming a Businessweek internal source that Apple plans to ramp up-AND I MEAN RAMP UP production of the iPhone and produce 40-45 million units in the next 12 months. This does make the most sense for Apple seeing as they are rolling out new countries day by day. India anyone?. This amount of iPhones just seems absurd...soo much for making any money on ebay! The most amazing part about this plan is that iPhone has only been around about a year, heck iPods took YEARS to do this not mere months! We shall see how this turns out, lets just hope loopt doesn't catch on and everyone and their mother begins tracking other iphone users! James Bond Breathes Sigh of Relief 08/22/2008
 Unfortunately, as we all know far too well the iPhone has a few shortcomings when it comes to the phones camera. There is no video recording, the camera is weak at only 2 MP and most importantly there is NO ZOOM! Well not anymore, brando out in Hong Kong is offering a Telescope style Zoom lens that attaches to the back of the iPhone. Not the prettiest looking device, but it seems to get the job done well. If you've got 20 bones to shill out head over to their website and pick one up. ( Brando) Welcome to Thinking Differently 08/22/2008
