Engadget posted some new iPhone rumors over here….

The first thing people will notice: the 2nd gen iPhone will be about the same size and shape as the first gen.
It will, of course, have 3G. And proper GPS!
The most noticeable physical difference is back of the phone is no longer metal — the whole thing is glossy black, from top to bottom. The volume buttons are now chrome.
Because it’s got a little less metal to deal with, it doesn’t have quite as many angular edges. The battery is (still) not removable.
The phone itself will be slightly thicker than the first gen device.
The headphone jack will no longer be recessed, and will finally be flush with the body.
The device itself uses roughly the same size and resolution screen as the first generation product.
No solid word on battery life or storage capacity.

I’ve been looking for some better ways to do things recently. I found two pretty cool apps that make computer life a little simpler.

If I’m anything like you, I’m sure you have one too many email addresses. I recently started looking for a way to consolidate several of them to my gmail address. I’m sure like you too you’ve got that old hotmail address sitting around that you still check every so often. Now if you’ve searched for a solution to forward hotmail easily, there isn’t one. Microsoft does allow you to forward your address to other Microsoft owned sites, but what good is that.

Everywhere I go on campus I see people on their laptops. Their usually hunched over, sitting on the floor, next to an outlet. In fact it is almost a strange sight to see people not charging their laptops.

I don’t normally bring my charger with me, I guess I am one of the lucky ones. I get about 3.5 hours of usage on battery.

Note: While this post isn’t very Apple related, Hawk has asked me to post it anyways.

I’ve always wanted a personal secretary. Then again who hasn’t? I am constantly forgetting things, unless I write it down. My system never worked all that well. I could never find a pen or a suitable piece of paper when I was scrambling to write a thought down.

I finally got Leopard setup on my PowerBook. So far so good. I went out on a limb and decided not to do a fresh install. I would never have done that on windows. Oddly enough everything works. Everything but UNO, but I don’t really need to use it because Leopard has a unified theme.

Most of you have probably noticed that the most recent version of OS X was released on the 26th.  I’m sure some of you have already installed it and have been playing around with it.  I’m still waiting for my copy so I can’t give my opinions yet, but I thought you guys would have some great opinions, so let us know what you think in the comments….

I run all the big three operating systems. I’ve had experience with most of the respective instant messaging clients, AIM, Trillian, Kopete, Pidgen, iChat and Adium, etc. Adium was by far the best because it offers so much customization. Unfortunately I can’t be on OS X all the time. After a few days of searching I finally found a program that is just as highly customizable with very low overhead.
