iPhone 4S and the passing of Steve Jobs

Oct 6th, 2011 Posted in nerd culture, personal, press, technology | Comments Off

I was pleasantly surprised to hear that Sprint will be getting the new iPhone.  Guess what has two thumbs and Sprint wireless service??? THIS GUY!! I am actually overjoyed to be honest.  I remember back in the day (which was a Thursday) when I got my first iPhone from AT&T and was like… “This is the coolest phone ever!!!” and then got hit with the first bill.  I was extremely sad and cracked that bitch as fast as possible and jumped to T-Mobile.  With cellular plans dirt cheap these days this is gonna be super sweet.  SO, I call Sprint to get the skinny and was told there is no auto upgrade like Verizon did when the iPhone became available and the price-tag was $549 for the phone.  Then it hit me! BANG! My mother needs a phone, so, I’m adding another line… getting the iPhone for 199.99, and when it comes I’m swapping numbers and giving her my old phone (which is the Samsung Epic and only 6 months old) and I gots myself a brand spanking new iPhone.  I know… I’m a genius.

I also wanted to hit on another Topic… The Passing of Steve Jobs.  I am a PC person, but was kinda saddened by the passing of Steve Jobs more then then I thought, and especially for someone I have never personally met.  Then while chatting with this sites creator over a few drinks started to realize how many jokes could come from this… I laughed so hard I cried… it was duel feelings.  I have listed a few of them below and some links to sites below:

iDied – Steve Jobs

The new iPhone 4S will do everything…. but cure cancer

The Republicans were right… We did lose Jobs under Obama

Back in the Saddle again…

Greetings… I’m back.  For all of you that remember me in 2007/2008 I was the cool guy with all the interesting things to read about.  For those who don’t… well… I don’t remember you either, so I guess we are even.

Neil has embarked on another great adventure in his life and I have been asked to come aboard to SS Jewish Guilt to bring some of my useless knowledge and witty banter.  How you all enjoy.  I will do my best.

Cheer!

Video Playing Watch On Sale at ThinkGeek

If your lifelong dream was to watch 128×128 video on a watch like the one you had in 8th grade, well, now you can die happy. The same watch as sold on Brando, but about $10 cheaper for the 2GB version and ships from inside the US. Of course, the thing uses an OLED display, which means it’s going to be a bit harder to watch outdoors. But if you buy the watch, what are the chances you’ll be going outdoors?

Besides the 128×128 pixel, 1.5-inch screen, the thing can display the time and date (how does it do that?), plays back MP3/WMA, and even has voice recording. Great for surrupticiously recording yourself being fleeced by the local mechanic. What do you mean it costs $79.99 for an oil change?

Preacher Series Coming to HBO!

HBO is developing a one-hour series based on the popular 1990s Vertigo comics series, Preacher, says The Hollywood Reporter.

Mark Steven Johnson (upcoming Ghost Rider, Daredevil) is writing the pilot, while Howard Deutch is attached to direct. Johnson and Deutch will executive produce along with Michael De Luca, George Agusto, Chris Bender and JC Spink.

Preacher, which ran from 1995-2000, told the story of a down-and-out Texas preacher possessed by Genesis, a supernatural entity conceived by the unnatural coupling of an angel and a demon. Given immense powers, the preacher teamed with an old girlfriend and a hard-drinking Irish vampire and set out on a journey across America to find God — who apparently had abandoned his duties in heaven — and hold him accountable for his negligence.

The series was created by Irish-born writer Garth Ennis and British artist Steve Dillon, who will serve as co-executive producers. Ken F. Levin, who represents the duo, also will serve as co-executive producer.

There have been several attempts to bring the comic to the screen, whether big or small, but nothing stuck, says the trade. A movie version, to have been produced by Kevin Smith’s View Askew, among others, got to the casting stage, with James Marsden attached.

Check out the video here

This video apparently shows the exact moment that Kevin Federline gets the SMS from Britney telling them that it’s over. According to the video, cameras were following him around the entire day in order to conduct an interview, part of which was him gushing about his wife and kids.

At about 1:46, you can see as K-Fed’s soul gets crushed as Brit-Brit drops the text-bomb on him via Sidekick—that is a Sidekick, right? Being divorced over the phone, wow. The Federlines truly are were America’s royalty.
