TAG HEUER MIKROTIMER FLYING 1000 CONCEPT WATCH

Here’s a new watch from TAG Heuer if you’re looking for one. TAG Heuer announced its game-changing new concept in very high-frequency chronograph technology at BaselWorld 2011 with interactive online press conference. The TAG Heuer Mikrotimer Flying 1000 concept watch is known as the first mechanical chronograph to achieve 1/100 accuracy and a speed of 500Hz. Set to debut later this week at Basal, the timepiece features a highly modern design with an innovative case system made of black titanium carbide and silver titanium horns. As this model is currently a concept watch, there is no word on when it will go into production, and how much, but I’m sure it’s going to be quite sky high.

PENCIL VS. CAMERA

Here is the legendary "Tram 28" in Lisbon, Portugal. These awesome photos were done by Ben Heine. It runs through the narrowest and steepest streets of the Alfama district. He drew the sketch and took the photo.

Tram 28

Lisbon, Portugal
In a tram 28
A drawing erasable
Or a living state

Situation is complex
We are its fact
Visions from our cortex
Those we on react

Dream world between
Is it really so?
Frame of mind seen
The rest we don’t know

iPHONE 4- TV AD - APP CHANGES EVERYTHING

Because Google’s Android is starting to eat up their apps market, and there’s the new contender WebOS that’s about to try and gobble some tiny bits of Apple’s smartphone and tablet market, and let’s not forget Microsoft, Apple’s biggest rival that started way back in those old days. Therefore, Apple is gearing up some ads to brainwash you and tell you what you’re missing out when you don’t have an iPhone. Basically, they’re just saying to you, that because you’re missing out lots of other iCraps because you don’t own a magical iCrap.

IN iOS 4.3 APPLE WEB APPS DOESN'T SPEED UP

"Apple is aware of the issues, which are currently filed as bugs. But according to Matt Asay, who is vice president of business development for mobile Web framework maker Strobe, Apple supposedly has no plans to fix them. Instead, they are marked "not to be fixed by exec order," suggesting that a higher up at Apple is preventing engineers from fixing the problems. Asay characterized that scenario as "slimy" and "malicious," believing it is designed to make Web-based apps appear to perform poorer. That might persuade developers to create native apps that must be distributed via the App Store, where Apple has full control over what is approved or rejected."

Apple gave Safari a JavaScript boost in iOS 4.3 to make pages load faster, however in-app browsers or web apps seemed to have missed that ‘training session’. Ars Technica has confirmed that pages or web apps loaded using those methods aren’t getting the optimization that Safari gets in iOS 4.3, which is found to be 2.5 times faster than Safari in iOS 4.2. However, do remember that they’re still running the same speed as when they’re in iOS 4.2, so you shouldn’t be feeling a big difference compared to when you’re still on iOS 4.2, besides feeling that all of a sudden Safari seemed faster in page load. Not surprisingly, that has prompted some to speculate that it’s all part of a grand plan on Apple’s part to force developers to use full-fledged apps instead of mobile apps, but Ars Technica points out that it could just as easily be due to some technical problems.
