Stacy's Mom Music Video in 720p HD

I came across this 'vintage' music video ported to near 720p HD quality. Stacy's Mom was first shown on TV in 2003.  The music of Fountains of Wayne here reminds me that I was high school kid. And Rachel Hunter, yes she is from 1969 too, like me and most important she's from New Zealand, one of my favorite countries for travel around. Thrill seeking. Hit the play button and leave a comment what the music video does to you. I hope it plays well on the iPhone iPod Touch. If not, try the link below. Enjoy!

The Hurt Locker Vanished by Severe Clear?

I watched Oscar winner the Hurt Locker. The movie Severe Clear is maybe more realistic. In 2003, First Lieutenant Mike Scotti of the 1t Battalion, 4th Marine Regiment, fought in Iraq. He filmed his experience, and with documentarian Kristian Fraga made a movie called Severe Clear. This is the movie’s trailer. via holykaw.alltop.com

Apple's Product Road Map Leaked?

I am reading Inside Steve's Brain, a great book about the success of Apple's Products like the iPhone iPod and the Macs. And as you know, Apple's products is all about the best user experiences achieved by the superuser Steve Jobs. As we all have noticed, the minimal design and intuitive user interfaces and Steve's incredible product presentations in keynotes has made the difference. And I can truly recommend this book to everyone who is involved in designing user interfaces and like to give the best ever user experiences in software and hardware creations. I think my fellow blogger BeGeek had finished this book:) and created these predictive photos which describes the future Apple products. iPhone, iPad, iBoard, iMat. It is so funny.

iPhone-Controlled Quadricoptor

Coolest Januari gadget was not the Nexus One but the AR.Drone quadricoptor. Q: What is that? A: It is a WiFi controlled battery powered device that can be flown with a iPhone or iPod Touch.
It was untroduced during the CES 2010. Q: What is so special besides it can be controlled from my iPhone? A: Well when you look at the demo stream, you notice the ease to fly with it. We all know the RC helicopters you can buy for a few bucks in a reguular gadget store. The problem with them is to keep them in control. Normally they crash because of their inpredictable moves. This dron is different and packed with hightech stuff 'sensors and gyroscopes' to keep the drone rock steady. Combined with the device you already know, your own phone or iPod with its accelerometer. The step to fly a uadricopter is easier than ever. Plus the camera view you even can fly out of sight! One of the biggest features behind the technology is the sensors and advanced processing behind the device which allow it to practically fly itself.

Steve Jobs 2009 Salary $1 - No Bonus No iPhone?


Q: What? A: Apple chief executive Steve Jobs was paid his customary $1 annual salary in 2009. Q: No bonus this year? A: Bonus is a kind of ugly word these days. And the answer is no - Jobs does not get a bonus or reimbursement for perks that many other CEOs accept, such as personal security, according to a regulatory filing [document]. Q: Just $1 a year, nothing more? A: Apple said it reimbursed Jobs a compensation for company travel on his $90 million Gulfstream V jet [Spyshots via TUAW], which he received as a bonus in 1999. That's far less than the $871,000 Apple reimbursed Jobs in 2008. The CEO took nearly six months off in 2009 for medical leave, during which time he received a liver transplant. He returned to work at the company's Cupertino, California, headquarters part-time at the end of June. Q: Poor CEO of the decade? A: Hmm na!  Jobs, 54, holds 5.5 million shares of Apple's stock [document]. He has not sold any shares since he rejoined the company in 1997, nor has he been awarded any new equity since 2003. That means with todays stock price he owns over 1 billion dollar on Apple shares. If that is enough, Jobs is also the largest individual shareholder of The Walt Disney Co. - You know, Mickey Mouse -, His 7.4% stake is currently worth about $4.5 billion.

Juice From $35 Wristband Recharges Your Gadgets JIT



This is just a simple solution for a simple problem. You playing with your gadget while traveling. The juice of your gadget is nearly drained. However you don't have a charge point in the bus, but you are going to win the game if you had enough juice. The solution for this practical problem is the Wristband.
The wristband charger itself charges up via USB, and can use it to charge virtually any USB device. (It comes with connectors for a few speciailized gadgets.) And yeah, you may look a little silly with this Chewbacca-esque package around your wrist, but it won't slow you down. Seems like a snazzy stocking stuffer for the gadget lover in your life.

The USB wristband battery will set you back $35 from Brando.
