Apple Announces the Iphone 6

The latest release of the iPhone 5 has convinced Apple executives to announce the new iPhone6.  No release date has been published, although most technogeeks and Apple enthusiasts believe the new phone will be ready in time for a pre-Christmas release.  (See Video Here)  The new phone boasts new OLED technology which will give the phone a transparent look and will result in the thinnest phone yet.   The new A6 chipset also will open the iPhone app world to faster machine cycles per second or Mps.  In laymen's terms, it will be even faster than fast.  Meatmeter has also learned from insiders that there will be a new "jumbo" version of the phone with the largest screen area yet as well as the "wide" option.

 The new retinal display will also allow you to control your phone by just looking at it.  Two front facing cameras will allow you to control actions on the phone by using your eyebrows as well.  The two front facing cameras will also allow you to have a facetime conversation with yourself.  These cameras will also allow you to interact with Siri just by smirking (Siri senses this as sarcasm), or by smiling or frowning (Siri senses smiling as positive, while frowning is considered negative. note - OS 7.5 cannot yet distinguish a smirking smile or smirking frown so the user is stuck with one facial expression at a time)  Siri has gotten smarter as well, as she can now make phone calls for you and talk to your other friends who have iPhones and can actually develop and maintain a Siri to Siri relationship with no interaction needed by the user.  When asked about a Siri to Siri relationship, and as to whether this might be considered a homophonic relationship, Apple executives had no comment, although there is a setting in the phone that will allow you to change the Siri voice gender if this kind of thing bothers you, and it shouldn't since you should be a cool, hip, open minded Apple phone user.  After all, it's common knowledge that all stuck up, square, close minded people use Android phones anyway.  Meatmeter has also been able to obtain a video of some of the upcoming apps that will be available on the new iPhone 6.

This post is for all of you who stood in line to get an iPhone 5, and you know who you are!  I am happy with my Iphone 4 and my original iPad.  Fortunately for me, Apple products hardly ever break, you just get tired of them.  Glad I'm a slow adopter.  Meatmeter gives Apple a Well Done!

The Twilight of an Agave Plant

Yes, I know that the relase of the iPhone5 is imminent and that school just started and your child just recieved an iPad and you need help setting up an AppleID.  I also find myself engaged with many of Apple's products.  I have not yet been involved in a "business" PC to Apple conversion project yet, however, I do see the paradigm shift, especially with the plethora of young adults who adore Apple products.  One of my current clients is making the switch one "PC" at a time.  I'll save the techno-jargon for later because I just wanted to share the photo above (yes, taken with and Apple iPhone 4).  It is a picture of a giant agave plant on the way to my mother's house.  It caught my attention a few weeks back when it shot out a 35 foot bloom.  It turns out, the Agave Americanus plant saves it's best trick for last.  Besides the fact that it produces many products such as fibrous rope material, medicinal products, sweetener and even a form of Tequila, it also waits to bloom just before it dies.  A kind of last hurrah.  It throws it's center bloom upwards in days, sometimes growing over 6 inches a day.  The resulting bloom is tree-like and looks pre-historic.  That rate in growth gave it a "hey I didn't see that thing there yesterday", kind of come uppance.  I noticed, today, when visiting Mom, that the bloom had actually uprooted the plant somewhat from its weight and that the plant was leaning over on it's side with the bloom stalk resting on a nearby roof of an empty building.  The plant proper had begun to degrade into the beautiful different shades of colors you see in the picture above.  Well done Agave, I hope, when my time comes, that I can go out in that kind of style.
