Why so busy Apple???

    Word on the street is that Apple will be releasing an Iphone 5. I'm just as confused as anyone out there. What possibly could an Iphone 5 have that has not been incorporated into the other Iphones or the Ipad? Rumor has it that the Iphone 5 might be white, and maybe even smaller than the older models. Perhaps the new Iphone will have more space, memory, better resolution,etc. Maybe the new Iphone will allow users to video chat with people who are not Iphone users. Maybe the video chat feature won't require wifi. If the new Iphone is released, will Verizon be offering the phone also? The new Iphone release date is still TBD, but seriously Apple...what else could you possibly do with an iphone? I can sit and list a plethora of questions that I would want to ask Apple, Steve Jobs, or just anyone who really knew the truth...but all I can do is speculate until the suspense has been eliminated. If an Iphone 5 is released, should we anticipate an Ipad 2? What would an Ipad 2 entail?

2011 Oscars: Best Dressed

The Red Carpet of award ceremony is always the MUST SEE event. Sometimes, it's more interesting than the actual show itself. Unfortunately, that's how the Oscars of 2011 panned out. Our top three that came dressed to impress were: Scarlett Johansson in Dolce Gabbana, Halle Berry in Marchesa, and Gwyneth Paltrow in Calvin Klein.

Information Overload

  Last Tuesday, a solar flare-up was reported to have created a geomagnetic space storm, which was directed towards Earth. Experts claim that the storm was created by our “use of satellite systems for networking, and bringing computers and gadgets into line, airline course-plotting and of course telecommunications which may include cable internet phone and other items.” We got a taste of what the storm could be last week when a torrent of charged plasma charged towards Earth at 580 miles per second-the strongest eruption in 5 years.

  According to the American Association for the Advancement of Science, weather trouble such as the storm can fry satellites, cause power outages and if extreme enough, crash stock markets. In rebuttal to this claim, Stephen Lechner, director of the European Commission Joint Research Center states that our weakness lies within the GPS. Hence there’s no need to panic.

  I’m sure we all would be affected if a major space storm were to occur. How would you recommend we as humans manage our dependency on technology?

Time to Reflect

The most important things in life aren’t things~ Anthony J. D’Angelo.

            They’re people and our relationships with them. As the week is progressing, take time to think about your loved ones. When was the last time you’ve spoken to them? If not often, why not? I prompt you to answer the question: Why are you busy? What keeps you from keeping relationships with people who matter, even though distance might be an issue? Technology has made it possible for people to communicate regardless of their physical location. For example, Skype allows people to communicate via video chat. You can also use your YUBZ handset to chat on Skype or on your phone.

            So as you go in this week, take a piece of advise from us. Do more, talk more, love more. Show people just how much they mean to you. Call them more often, text them, go out to lunch or dinner and catch up. A little goes a long way. Never be afraid to say the words “I love you” to those you truly love. Last but not least, smile more. A smile is the most contagious disease, and I for one would love to be infected!

 



Why You Busy California?

Last weekend certainly had its highlights. From Blake Griffin's crowd pleasing car dunk to Rihanna's halftime performance, the 2011 NBA Allstar game in California was the place to be. If basketball isn't your cup of tea then perhaps the plethora of other events caught your attention. You might have gone to an after party for the Allstar weekend, or Eve Fashion Show in San Diego, or even Big Momma's House Release Party in Los Angeles. Either way, if you were in California last weekend, you were involved in something. If you weren't in California, you probably were also involved in something...so what kept you busy last weekend?
