Let us imagine the following scenario: You are in an exclusive coffee shop that charges more than any other coffee shop in the neighborhood, but which is well known for the quality of their product as well as their excellent service. You have come in on this day to get your usual order, which is just a cup of coffee. Instead of this, the person at the counter fills your cup with bitter coffee that is room temperature.
If you have an iPhone, you have a Panopticonic and wanton need for speed whether you admit it or not! The best way to express that need is by typing “Speedtest.net” into your iPhone Safari browser and then immediately installing the iPhone App that presents itself to you.
I was shocked — SHOCKED! — to see my connected speed from Jersey City to the Secaucus test server. 1538 kbps down and 114 kbps up is astonishingly good — but would those speeds last — nay, COULD they at last last?
The Swine Flu Pandemic is upon us, but that isn’t the only threat to Public Health. Now, with the help of HealthMap.org, you can track all threats to your health, as well as getting real time reports of localized outbreaks in your area — all via a free iPhone App.
If you aren’t using Google Apps Mobile yet on your iPhone, you need head into iTunes and download it today! My favorite part of Google Apps Mobile is playing with the Voice Search feature. You speak it. Google Apps Mobile will find it on the web for you. Most of the time. As you can see in the screenshot below, I did a previously successful search for “cochlear implants” — not an easy or expected couple of words to “get” but Google got ’em — and then I decided to speak “Panopticonic” to see how astute Google was at blending the new with the known.
Forget soundAMP for the iPhone and the traditional cochlear implant — embedded MP3 Bone Hearing is here!
Your picture is being taken. There are hundreds of thousands of phones, many of them iPhones, being sold every month that have the capability of taking high quality digital images and it’s nearly impossible to tell when your picture is being taken. You could be waiting for a train and someone is waiting with you, taking pictures of you without you realizing it. This is one of the first photos I took. I was waiting for a train and people were standing all around me, also absentmindedly
waiting for a train. I wondered what was the chance that I could take photos of people without their noticing.
For a long time, I did not think this day would ever come. I thought I would surely be using my Blackberry 8700c for years to come. (That review, by the way, is the reason I bought the phone!) Then, as time passed, things began to deteriorate. It just didn’t run as well as it used to. Then came the day on which I couldn’t turn the phone on at all, and I discovered that now if I wanted to turn on the phone from an off state, I had to completely remove the battery and put it back in. Then the scroll wheel started skipping. I decided that it was time for a new phone, and since I knew that Apple has been releasing new hardware in June I decided to wait for what I was sure was going to be the new iPhone 3GS.
