Google for… ISP

Google Fiber

Google could quite possibly be your next ISP. What could this mean for you? Speeds up to 100x faster than typical US Internet connections with up to 1 gigabit per second. That is blazing fast. They plan to offer service at a competitive price to at least 50,000 and potentially up to 500,000 people to start off with. Sign me up!

For more on this, head over to Think big with a gig: Our experimental fiber network.

FREE Ipad, Rather iPaperPad. Print One Out Today!

Get your very own iPad, actually iPaperPad, before anyone else and at a micro fraction of the cost of an iPad. Yes, you can have your very own iPaperPad by just printing it out and fooling your friends or colleagues into thinking it’s an actual iPad, at least for a second.

Sure, the iPaperPad is as useless as the actual iPad but just think of the fun you can have with it for the next couple months. The iPad won’t be released until March so having one this early will make you look cool, or not. As you’re showing it off, freak everyone out by accidently dropping it. Take it with you everywhere you go and be the envy of everyone the two people that actually want one, or just use it as a dart board. Have fun with it, or not.

What are the chances the iPaperPad get’s printed more than the apple iPad actually gets in sales? I say fairly high chance, LOL.

How about a Windows 7 version of the iPaperPad? Now this I would buy!

Joby Gorillacam is a Must Have iPhone App

Gorillacam camera app for iPhone

Gorillacam is a FREE iPhone app that is a must have. It’s the camera app that Apple should have had from the start, or at least updated it by now. I mentioned before about ProCamera for the iPhone. It’s WAS a great camera app that only cost a few dollars, that is until Gorillacam came along, for FREE!

Gorillacam’s UI is very nice and easy to use with lots of features. They just released an update making it the better of the camera apps on the app store (at least that I have used).

Here are some of the features it has:

  • 4X Digital Zoom - NEW
  • Anti-shake - NEW
  • Self-timer
  • Time-lapse
  • Unlimited rapid-fire
  • Auto-save
  • 3-Shot burst
  • Press anywhere
  • Grid overlay
  • Bubble level

Gorillacam FREE on iPhone app store

Some of the features are best used with a tripod and since Joby makes a great little tripod for the iPhone, you might want to pick one up.

Ask Siri, Your New Personal Assistant

image

Siri is a FREE app for the iPhone 3GS that uses voice recognition to find what you're looking for quickly without the hassle of searching the web on your own. You tell Siri what you’re looking for and it searches the web and gives you the results in seconds. Just like a real assistant, Siri understands what you say, accomplishes tasks for you and adapts to your preferences over time. Siri can book restaurants, movies, events, help you find local businesses, call a cab and check the weather.

They are working on bringing Siri to the  iPhone 3G, iPod Touch, iPad, Blackberry and Android devices as well so be looking out for an update soon.
