Flipboard iPad App - Homepage with Cheerleader
Well, I hear you say, whats so cool about that? The answer my friend is below, sometimes a picture is worth more than 1,000 words. The Flipboard presentation of aforementioned feeds is visually stunning. Now even your old Auntie Joan looks like she’s a writer for Conrad Black (ouch!) or a photographer for the SI Swimsuit issue…

Apple App Store - what are the best ipad apps
Take a look around, it’s a little like 1994 out there. Back in the glory days of the internet, every man and his dog wanted, no, needed a website. No-one knew why, but if you were anyone, or if you were a company that was looking to be cool, you needed a website. 16 years later, it’s 2010, and now every man and his dog needs an App. Got a problem, there’s an app for that, need to find out what the waves are like on the North Shore? There’s an app for that.
Problem is, as an iPad, iPhone and iPod (and dare I say, Zune) owner, where the heck do I go and find the apps that I need? Has anyone tried to use the app store from Apple? It’s a dark and mysterious place controlled by Stephen P Jobs Esquire and his merry band of control freaks at Apple. It’s next to impossible to do a real search of the more than 200,000 apps available… I need to be able to search for an app, or follow a taxonomy that allows me to find the correct app for me, not just because the developer paid apple a wad of cash to make them a featured app… Not saying thats how it goes down, but y’know… who knows.

Yellowbird are taking a leaf out of Google’s Streetmapping technology, with the key difference being that the YellowBird camera records video instead of photographs. The camera uses six lenses in order to capture every possible viewing direction simultaneously. Through a double glass-fiber connection, a stream of 1200 Mbit per second is captured and saved in an uncompressed format. Along with the video, a surround sound microphone system enables to record surround audio at 96 khz…. Enough with the geeky details, check the video below - use your mouse to move around the action… Maybe this could be used for Virtual Tradeshow applications or as extra footage for concerts?
