Retro Look for iPhone

ETSY


Now here is a combination of two of my fav phones. Bringing a retro look with features for a handset and charging unit.

Ready, Set, Go! SEPTEMBER- iPHONE 5

Never thought I would thank a competitor but I am happy for the Google Nexus and yes, the new Android coming out soon because Apple needs to push out the iPHONE ! In fact, recent news has projected Apple will come out with two new iPhones. Iphone 5 and a lower priced version iPhone 4S  says Deutsche Bank analyst Chris Whitmore .According to him,
It will release the iPhone 5, will have new features and operating system and the iPhone 4S, a "mid-range" prepaid smartphone priced at $350. The data plans would work similarly to the iPad. Users could sign up and pay for what they need when they need it.

White iPhone 4 helped the dry market field for awhile but we need to give the people what they want - the new operating system and a new reason to 'stick with the iPhone".

My phone service is ready for an upgrade - but why should I waste my "once in a 2 yr" upgrade time with a phone that has little more to offer but face-to-face and better quality pictures.  With articles questioning if the "new" Android Phone is an alternative to iPhone-- it is time for Apple to give us reasons to stick - a newer phone with features like a 4G network would help.

BACK TO SCHOOL with an iPhone 5 - I'll wait for that! 

FB Upload Celebrity Photo w/YOUR Name

 Confuse Mark Zuckerberg or Give him your "Privacy Rights" for Facial Profiling 

Everytime you post a picture ( or someone else posts one to FB) 

Do you realize that someone is tracking 
-Who you are, 
-What you like, 
-Who your friends are, 
-What you did last nite, 
-Where you are today and and and...

If  a Newspaper reporter takes your picture - you have to give permission to post it 
or if policemen takes your picture and shows it on Channel 5 news TV 
online

you may have a problem with that. 

However when YOU or someone else posts a picture to Facebook- 

Do you realize someone is collecting your   “biometric data collection” scheme and that it violates privacy and adversely impacts consumers...  

according to the The Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC), in a complaint file to the FTC.

 How to OPT out of FACIAL RECOGNITION on Facebook

1. Disable the Facebook facial recognition auto-suggest function for photo tagging.

Go to Account (upper right corner of homepage) - Privacy Settings - Custom settings (bottom middle) - Suggest photos of me to friends - Enabled/Disabled (check Disabled)

2. Vigilantly monitor your notifications about being tagged in photos so you can be in control of this data.

3. Upload pictures of celebrities or other people and tag them as yourself.  The point is to pollute Facebook’s facial recognition database of you so that its ability to identify you is weakened.

 4. Request Facebook to remove your "summary information" from its facial recognition database (hat tip to PCWorld).

Google Doodle Guitar Honoring Les Paul - Permanent HOME

Google Doodle Guitar Les Paul LINK

Google Doodle                                      

Creative minds just keep on amazing me with design and technology_here is another example with the Google Doodle "Les Paul".   Shaped like the Google logo by10 strings of different pitches of  a guitar, the doodle guitar can be played either by moving the mouse over the strings, or by clicking a button below the strings that enables users to hammer out riffs using the buttons on their keyboard.
There is a red button with recording ability that will save your tune and forwarded to friends for collaboration. 

My students in class were strumming away today and in awe by this creation. I love whenever creativity involves and excites the senses.




GREAT NEWS!    Google Doodle GUITAR has permanent home
