Well, this is embarrassing - my first post of significance and already late. Sorry, but I hope the interesting topics in this article will make up for it
iPhone 4 – good or bad?
Apple sold and incredible 1.7 million iPhone 4’s between Thursday and Saturday. For a span of three days, the iPhone is doing very well. But is it actually worth it? Apple added quite a bit to this new generation. The camera is now 5
The iPhone 4, in all it's glory
megapixels along with high resolution recording capabilities (HD, or 720p for you technical folk out there), a faster CPU (which essentially means the ability to use better iPhone apps, and games, and does everything the previous iPhone could, but a lot faster), and VIDEO chatting, which is quite amazing in itself. Also, the display of the iPhone is brilliant and unrivaled, even under the sun. It is also thinner than the iPhone 3GS
But there are some problems that you have to watch out for too. Apple is known for the durability of its products, but in the iPhone 4’s case Apple’s reputation is at stake. If dropped, you may find a broken back piece, which has already happened to quite a few people in their first three days of ownage. If the iPhone is held incorrectly, it has poor reception, and the screen may have some strange yellow blotches that are supposed to disappear. The battery life is also questionable,lasting only 8 hours for some. The iPhone antenna itself can be slightly annoying. And apparently, if you are in a room full of cell phone users, the video chat won’t work, although this might have been fixed.
Despite all the minor inconveniences, I would say the iPhone is a get. Some claim it to be the best smart phone out right now, although the Google Android rivals it.
New Harry Potter Trailer
I just saw this trailer in a large screen with surround sound five times in a row, and all I can say, is, EPIC! This movie looks like it’ll live up to the last book, and November cannot come soon enough.

USA dropped out of the World Cup. ‘Nuff said.
Seafood store closes
Some people have brought up the interesting question of how exactly the oil spill does affect us? Unfortunately, one restaurant, specializing in shrimp, had the unlucky fate of being located on the shores of Louisiana, where it used to buy locally caught shrimp for cheap. But now, the only option is imported shrimp – a price way beyond that which the restaurant would be able to afford. Last Thursday, the restaurant shut down.
I’m sure that this isn’t the last we’ve heard of the oil spill affecting our lives.
