New Apple Product
Hey, check this out. There is buzz all over the dub dub dub that Apple is working on a new product. What is all the buzz about? Insiders "claim" that Apple is working on an iPad Nano, which has a new content delivery model aka the "iBooklet".
Yup! An iPad Nano that will look and function EXACTLY like the Apple iPod Touch, but cost more of course. Industry experts are speculating that Apple may add phone capabilities to future versions of the iPad Nano too. Man, how does Steve Jobs do it?
Text Message Recall
Have you ever sent a text message that you wanted to recall and delete from all in-boxes? I have sent my fair share and wished I had a recall feature, oh well. All is not lost, check this out. One can now send self destructing text messages.
Before you get too happy, I should note that this is available only on the iPhone. There is a new iPhone application on the block, which is appropriately named "TigerText". Users can "send texts that don't live forever."
Shake This Weight
Has anyone seen the Shake Weight infomercial? The Shake Weight was designed specifically for women. No shit. Ladies, do you want to earn cold HARD cash while you sexercise? Well, come and shake this weight. Bruahaha!
Bullshit TV
Yup, you got it. I am referring to the Golden Boy's Health Care Summit. These bozos cannot agree to disagree and Obama has a HUGE ego. You can hear the arrogance in his comments and see it in his actions.
What do you expect? ObamaCare is "his" agenda and that of the Democratic Party. Oh, did you catch all of the "personal" anecdotes from the bozos? Sure, use the air time to recite rehearsed lines and further agendas. I am out, because they all disgust me!
Hummer for Sale Again!
Yawn! Hummer is on the market again. If you recall, GM sold the Hummer brand to Sichuan Tengzhong of China. Well, the deal fell through and GM plans to shut down the line. If you ever dreamed of owning your own automotive brand, contact General Motors now.
The original deal with Sichuan Tengzhong was valued at 150 million, but think you can score a nice deal. I am not holding my breath for GM to find another buyer. I think it's the end of another car line. I wonder how that Hybrid Hummer is coming along.
Gimp is Gimp
I am using Gimp to resize some images for a presentation. After I finished, I tried to rename the images folder but no luck. Okay, time to fire up handy-dandy Unlocker 1.8 to see which application has a strong arm hold on the directory.
Wanna take a wild guess? I found one instance of PowerPoint and over 50 instances of Gimp with locks to the image folder. Nice job! If I save an image and close the editing window, it should release the lock. Is that too difficult? Am I doing something wrong here? Damn.
Detour Ahead
Watch your step! I planned on publishing another post, but I just noticed that we are going to hit another milestone with this post. What milestone Wassup Jose? 1,000 published posts, kapow! Thanks to all the contributing authors for their posts!
Credit CARD Act of 2009
Okay, effective tomorrow the balance of the rules go into effect. If you did not know, the Credit Card Accountability, Responsibility, and Disclosure Act of 2009 was signed into law 9 months ago and comes into effect tomorrow, Monday, February 22, 2010.
If you do not know what the hell I am referring to, just head on over to Wikipedia or other source. If you do not care, no problem. I just wanted to remind those that are in the know of the effective date. Think of it as another public service announcement.
Chrome and GoDaddy
As mentioned a few weeks ago, I'm pimping Google's latest version of Chrome. For the most part, I like Chrome now versus the early clunkers. However, one MAJOR annoyance is that I cannot reply to GoDaddy Webmail via Chrome.
There are other quirks, but the main one is not being able to reply to "G" mail. Haha, had to sneak that one in, nice! Anyway, I found a couple of posts which describe similar issues with no apparent resolution. Which "G" is going to fix this? Anyone have the same issue?
Ask Wassup Jose
I just dropped the "media whore" post and had a great idea. I am thinking about starting an "Ask Wassup Jose" section, so readers can ask whatever they want. Sort of like Dear Abby, Yahoo! Answers, and KGB Answers. What do you think? Check the example below:
Reader: WassupJose, I think I have genital warts. What shall I do?
WassupJose: I think you should stop sleeping with frogs. Duh!
