So he is a few screenshots.

The app is very much like the iPhone app, and that’s a bad thing. There isn’t any extra features and they are not using the extra screen size wisely. You have no control over the pictures, only in HTML format which is a pain (also had problems posting landscape images, no option to rotate). They are auto automatically grouped together (same as the iPhone).

I hope WordPress release an update really soon making use of the iPad functionality. This app at the moment has no advantages over it’s iPhone counterpart.

 I am back from my trip to Italy. I’m gonna leave you with some pictures of the trip and hope you enjoy them. I didnt take my DSLR but used a Nikon 10mp coolpix camera which wasnt too bad.

 
Everyone drinks espresso's in Italy, they say it makes the cigarette taste different afterwards.

So you could imagine how popular this store is in Rome. So you could imagine how popular this store is in Rome.

 

This is where i realized everything in Rome was a Piazza.

And so the summary of the trip. Rome was alot more fun, and had alot more personality than the rest. Everything was pretty much walking distance in all 3 of them.  Florence was extremely commercial, with American students flooding the streets. For example, in Rome there was the opera singer trying to make a living in the Pantheon square, in the famous square in Florence, a man was singing “Let it Be” to cater to the people i guess.  It was interesting seeing Michaelangelo’s David, and catching the sunset on the famous bridge. Venice was not what i expected. I thought it would be classier, but its ruined in the same way as Florence, not as bad though. The whole city on water thing is still amazing, and it has to be seen before it disappears. I would go back to Rome for sure, but for me, Florence and Venice were a one-time, must-do thing. And ive done it.

It seems that the 80GB PS3 is not totally dead like we thought. Sony announced today that it’s going to re-release it with Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns Of The Patriot, and the package now will include the Dual Shock controller. Expect it this June for the same price of $500, Good deal for those who haven’t bought a PS3 yet.

Goldmund are know for their overpriced products, but when I saw the price tag on this player I thought it was a joke. I mean $17000 for a BD player, that’s more expensive than some cars. And it doesn’t look that cool either.

HTCClassAction.org is gathering signatures for a petition to place a law suit action against HTC for omitting the use ,the already available, Hardware Graphic Accelerator (ATI Imageon), the HW Accelerator is part of the chipset used in HTC phones. Hence, HTC phones like HTC TyTnII, HTC Touch Dual, HTC Touch Cruise, HTC Wings, HTC Titan, HTC Vogue, HTC Libra, and HTC Iris as well as all phones manufactured by HTC using Qualcomm MSM7xxx chipset are all rendering Graphics using software and wind up loading the CPU effecting over all performance.

 

I was considering buying an HTC phone among other phones … hmm !!
