I’ve been “hearing” some updates regarding the iPhone 2.3 update. So here’s the goodies:

• Release date: April 9th, 2009 (Estimated Release)
• Use the iPhone as an External Modem
• MMS Service will not be included in this update
• AppIn Suite: Summary of the best apps available on the AppStore
• You will not be able to disable the Auto Correct feature, a better fix will be released on another update
• 30% better UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System) and HSDPA (High-Speed Downlink Packet Access) speeds
• 20% better battery life, configured via settings

I’ve been talking about the whole Circuit City business, and how they’re going out of business. They are in fact going out of business, if you’ve had the time to check their website, www.circuitcity.com, they have the PR release and such. But anyways now continuing the draft, so that I could actually go to there and see what was going on, first of all the lines were Black Friday all over again and the sale prices are not even worth the effort of standing in the line. Some example sale prices are, 10% off all video games, 30% off cables, at most it’s 30% off of certain items (a nice big sign telling you that when you walk in the doors). In my opinion you can get the same thing, just as cheap from Amazon or even Steam (for video games). I’m sure that the prices will go down, but most companies will make the announcement that they are indeed going under, take a couple dollars off a product (still selling at msrp) and then eventually lowering the price; they still have to pay off the creditors! I do welcome your comments, I would like to hear what other people think!

I’ve been having a couple friends asking me what I’ve been using for firefox a lot lately, so here are to the tools that help me get more done.

TwitterFox- Notifies you of your friends updates, also allows you to update directly from Firefox.

Foxmarks- Foxmarks Sync’s all of my bookmarks on all installations of firefox on all of my computers.

Flagfox- Tells me where the current website I’m viewing, where there web server is located; also including the ip address of the server(s).

Firebug- A great tool for both web designers and web developers, helping you to inspect and edit html and css files, debug javascript, and monitor network and file usage; including loading times!

FirePHP- A great firefox extension to debug ajax, using a php call function.

Google Gears- Google Gears allows you to let normal web applications operate offline in a desktop environment. Its a great application for WordPress installations, Google Docs, and Myspace (If you still use it).

Prism- Prism is a great firefox addon for making websites launch as a normal application on your desktop. This addon will work with any website, twitter, facebook, google. Check it out for yourself!

Know any other good addons please post a comment and let me know!

Why can’t there be presidential debates with third party candidates? It seems from what I’ve read and heard, is that most debates are sponsored by: Commission on Presidential Debates. On which this organization is actually funded or shall I say recive donations from a several amount of major donors, **cough** republicans, and democrats. Politics really irritate me, as people can probably tell. So what I don’t understand is why can’t third parties be in the debates also, I think it would really mix it up, and then again maybe that’s why no one wants them in?!?!?

I’ve been reading about the G1; Google Phone since about 2006 when the rumors started. Now that some people have gotten their hands on one to test it, such as Engadget… I’ve been reading a bit more. The overall design isn’t that great looking, but who care’s if you’ve got a great phone that work’s amazingly well. I’m actually going to switch to ATT, thus I will be getting an iPhone (I know, I’m kinda slow). I acctually thought about waiting and getting the G1 until I heard that T-Mobile got the contract, bad move Google! Anyways from the reviews I’ve heard so far the G1 is just a failure at this point until they maybe release a new version, and improved version of Android… maybe it’s just me and I’m negitive about the whole thing.

This is a hilarious video spoof of the DTV 2009 crap going on right now, I’m not even sure where I stand on the issue right now, but anyways; check the video out at www.hulu.com

I was just browsing around for some opinions on decent domain name auctions around, Ah! there it is… I see it! Below the title of the search result I just noticed, ‘2 posts – 2 authors – Last Post: Mar 26, 2007′. Since when did Google start updating when forum posts have been updated, thats a pretty awesome feature!

I’ve just now decided to take the time and renew a couple domains; as I would like to sell a couple (So if your interested, contact me). Just kinda realized that GoDaddy changed their website, it was due for a update and redesign. But all I could think was, ‘this is really going to take some getting used to!’. Now that I’m really using it I really don’t like it, with their old design it was so easy to navigate around and do the things that I wanted to really quick, as now I have to navigate all around to figure out what I’m doing… **frown**

Well, I’ve been doing some thinking for a while now. Still trying to decide on what the best option is to do. So I’ve kinda came up with a solution that I hope will do me well, now as in the future. I’m going to recode justinlosh.com in ruby on rails, create a completely new theme; add some odds and ends to enhanced the features, then… So I’m still thinking about what I want, but it will be really cool when I’m finished with it.

I’ve also been working on aggregating all of my feeds, from all of my accounts; such as twitter and such all into one giant feed, a lifestream and possibly a feedburner feed.

Until the next update, depending how far away that might be…

Personal Note- I will update once I get everything settled on my main website, and start updating things more often!!!

I’ve just relaunched my website redesign at www.justinlosh.com, please let me know what you think. I’m thinking it could use a couple changes but please post your comments regarding the website!!!
