Fresh To Death!

Theme complete!

Finally managed to change the icon text to white. Thanks Dean!
Now what would be cool is, to have the fireflys moving in the background...Hmmmmm...Lets see what we can do.












We're still filing this away in the rumor folder for now, but we'll be honest -- this is totally believable. GigaOM has it on authority that a bona fide Skype for iPhone client will be launched as early as next week, and with CTIA kicking off on April 1st, we'd say the timing is just about ideal. Of course, we've already seen a variety of alternatives for bringing Skype and other VoIP apps to Apple's darling, but by and large, they've been supremely unimpressive. There's no word on pricing (we're crossing our fingers for free) or any other tasty tidbits, but you can bet we'll be keeping an ear to the ground for more. - Engadget

Now I have been using many Skype applications (iSkoot, Fring, etc) and I can safely say that this would be what I have been waiting for. However I find nothing wrong with Fring for the iPhone. Using the "backgrounder app" (your phone has to be jailbroken) you can easily trick the phone that its on a wifi connection and use the 3G to connect. It takes about a minute or 2 for Fring to refresh the contact list to show your buddies online; but that would have to be the only negative I see. Now, with the possible release of Skype for the iPhone, chances are that if its free you will only be able to use it if you are connected via wifi. I don't think AT&T wants everyone with an iPhone bogging down the network. Which makes no sense to me, because they sell windows mobile phones which Skype is available for download and can be used on their 3G network (Samsung Blackjack II). Lets hope our friends update their app on Cydia to allow Skype to work on the 3G, if not Fring will always be your friend.

Cool short film utilizing Half-Life 2 auido, animations fused with an amateur video recording. Reminds me of Cloverfield.

Israeli Army T-Shirts Mock Gaza Killings - Terrorist fashion 2009











The Israeli army is at the centre of a second scandal over the moral conduct of its soldiers in as many days (the previous one was two days ago: IDF in Gaza: Killing civilians, vandalism, and lax rules of engagement) .

The revelations centre on T-shirt designs made for soldiers that make light of shooting pregnant Palestinian mothers and children and include images of dead babies and destroyed mosques.

The T-shirts were printed for Israeli soldiers at the end of periods of deployment or training courses and were discovered by Israeli newspaper Haaretz.


What is really disturbing is that this has not been in the media. But then again, what else are we to expect.

AT&T to Sell iPhone without Contracts



















AT&T, the exclusive U.S. carrier for Apple’s iPhone, will begin selling the device without a contract for the first time. The 8-gigabyte model will sell for $599 and the 16-gigabyte model will go for $699. The offer, available March 26, will let customers sign up for month-to-month plans with AT&T.

Okay, I have now decided that I am really going to make post on a regular basis and not just photo blog when I actually remember that I should post something. Stay tuned for updates consisting of news, gadgets, funny pics/vids and any other random stuff that I may find interesting.
