We love a good magic show here at Redmond Pie, and if anyone can somehow manage to incorporate some technology into a magic act then we're particularly interested. Magic and technology, a match made in heaven. We have been treated to just that a few times since the iPad arrived, but this might just be the best we've encountered yet.
Even though the iPhone 4S only arrived some five months ago, the talk of its successor has been as rampant as if it were releasing at the end of the week.
Believe it or not, and we still choose not to, but one young man has taken a more, helpless iPad and had at it with a couple of guns. The result? Utter devastation and, unsurprisingly, a devastated iPad.
Sometimes we need to take a little step back from reality, take a look at the world through the eyes of a child and apply a little humor to our lives. It seems like a very rare occurrence that people actually stop and take the time to have a little fun these days, which is why the guys over at Scoopertino have taken the time to produce some light hearted entertainment for us by turning Apple's Siri assistant into a musical genius, belting out some all time classics.
I imagined that when Apple first started developing the Siri software to be distributed with the iPhone 4S handset, they would have hoped that the intelligent voice assistant would be taken to the hearts of users and quickly become an integral part of their mobile lives. After all, this isn't just some bonus feature or application which offers a small amount of entertainment before being discarded in the never-to-be-used-again pile. Siri is deeply integrated into the operating system, meaning that going forward; we are likely to see enhanced abilities as well as inclusion on all new devices brining Siri to a much wider audience.
With tablet and smartphone devices offering so much to consumers in this digital era, we often state in jest that it'll only be a matter of time before our treasured devices begin making toast, pouring drinks, and developing minds of their own.
With Apple having now announced the iPad 3 showcasing on March 7th, many pundits are giddily speculating on the tech specs and availability of the fruit company's third tablet offering.
As a generation of people, we should consider ourselves extremely lucky to live in a age which represents the cutting edge of technological breakthroughs and advancements. Rarely a day seems to go by without some new technology-based product being released to the public, whether this is a new smartphone or tablet, a new flat screen high definition television set or hopefully something more out there and unique in the not too distant future like the proposed Google’s virtual reality goggles.
The iPhone's camera has brought out the inner photographer in many people, so many in fact that both the iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S have had stints as Flickr's favorite snapper - ahead of the larger, pricier, industry-level standalones.
It's proving difficult to prevent Apple enthusiasts from compiling their video tributes just now, and just a day after the Steve Jobs Facebook Timeline tribute, Adweek has pieced together a rather interesting timeline of its own, covering every single iPhone ad campaign since the initial device was released back in 2007.
