NASCAR Coach Reveals Winning Strategy: ‘Drive Fast’

NHL Star Called Up To Big Leagues To Play For NFL Team

I recently got the mobileme trial.I must say, it works well. It isn’t my primary email client (entourage is) but it should be fun trying it out.

I just bought enigmo for the iPhone. Its alot of fun. It also has amazing physics and graphics. I got past the first 7 levels with a little help from YouTube, but now I’m stuck on level 8. Enigmo is challenging and interesting. I recommend it!

This is the first entry in my new category. The category is called Tim’s Daily Blog. In it,I’ll blog about some interesting events in my everyday life. Basically, this new category will be like a regular blog, but I’ll write it in a very irregular way. Happy reading!

On July 4th, 2008, I added 2 new videos to my YouTube account. That day was the day I uploaded the most vidz of the year. The 2 new videos are “The iPhone 3g intro” and”Jaws fact vs fiction”. You can see my YouTube account on youtube.com/user/TimkaV86

What kind of computer do you have? A mac? A PC? Do you use it daily? Well, the companies that make the computers also make other products. Microsoft (PC) makes many products including the Zune. Apple (Mac) makes products including the iPod and iPhone. 

As you may have heard, the iPhone 3G is here. I think it’s stunning. It’s faster, has enterprise and App Store support, and costs $199. It is also available in 70 countries. And you know what stuns me even more? The crowd’s reaction to Steve’s intro. Bet you that everyone in that crowd knew that a 3G iPhone would be released. But still, when Jobs stated that “a 3G iPhone will be introduced”, the building went bananas. (especially Sega). Anyway, back on topic. The 3G iPhone has 3G (no kidding) GPS, and many more features. By the way, do I sound like an Apple employee? I do? Well, actually, I’m Steve Jobs. No, not really. Anyway, where was I about the iPhone. Oh, yeah, it has this that and the other. It’s made by Apple.  Then it must have good looks! Fine, it has that too. Done! Nothing else. Well it has that black metal design and white back option, but that’s it! And it has a flush headphone jack. That is really it. Caput! Finito! Done! 

Do you know what it feels like to be an eleven year old who has downloaded the IPhone SDK? I do. And believe me, it’s tough! You have to write all sorts of apps. How do you that, when all you used to do is use apps? Well, I already wrote a few non-iPhone apps. They were all right. But hey, you have to move on!

I personally think that Windows Vista is a great OS with a revolutionary UI. As for all the bugs, c’mon! You users didn’t notice the bugs in XP, did you? but all of a sudden, Vista is a problem. Tough! The only reason I didn’t switch to Vista is its clear negative side: the price. Maybe Vista is overrated. Maybe Microsoft is just trying to create some hype. What? MICROSOFT creates hype? I think we all know another little company that creates the hype, and I’m writing this on one of their Macs. Yeah. You got my point. Class dismissed. 

As always,  Windows has absolute dominant market share. But there is still hope for the folks at Cupertino, The Mac has been steadily chipping away at Window’s lead. This probably has something to do with the success of Leopard. Leopard works great. But I think Microsoft is doing the wrong thing by taking XP of the shelves. Right now, XP is the #1 OS for Microsoft, not Vista. Maybe Microsoft is trying to send a message? WE’ll see.
