This is a video by Josh Robert Thompson, an voice actor, who is doing impressions on Arnold Schwarzenegger, Robert De Niro, Morgan Freeman and Sylvester Stallone. You might have seen him on “The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson” or heard him on “The Howard Stern Show”. He has done a lot of voiceovers and some acting too. He even did voiceovers on over 15 major game titles – quite impressive.

Apples tablet the iPad is announced and the whole world is waiting for its release in March 2010. The iPad is running a modified version of the iPhone OS 3.2 and the iPad SDK has been released to developers around the world. The usual fight between people who like the product and others who doesn’t see any future in the product, has begun. It has always been like that with Apple products and it was exactly the same back when the iPod was first introduced. Something is missing in the iPad though.
I’ve always thought about getting a tablet or some kind of touchscreen device for taking notes at school. I like to have all my notes stored digitally so I can easily search and reorder them, but one of the downsides of digital notes is when you need to draw figures – it’s just not the same as drawing them by hand. I personally think OneNote does a pretty great job as a note-taking/storing application but it’s only for Windows and I have no plans to install Windows 7 just so I can run OneNote. I’ve tried quite a few drawing applications for Mac OS X but just haven’t found one that I really like yet. So what do I do when I have to draw a figures – well it depends on the situation but I would do one these things:
There is some solutions to this problem, Livescribe for example is a great little product. It’s a pen which records what you draw and write and then you can download the content onto you computer with the Livescribe application. Sounds pretty great but a little expensive and there is some limitations.
I’ve had a little drawing app on my iPhone 2G(Silverback) since I first bought it back in 2007 and I’m really impressed by how sensitive and precise the touchscreen really is. Clearly the iPhone screen is way too small for serious note-taking and handwriting recognition.

Here we go again. It’s almost becoming a standard that every time Apple announces something new; be that hardware, software or unicorn dust, someone else have to quickly claim that they actually already have a product or a trademark with exactly the same name.
You guys have certainly heard about the newest thing from Apple, the iPad right now at least. Well it would seem that Fujitsu already have a product called iPad, it’s a (smart)phone from 2002 running Windows CE.
History behind the trademark:
Fujitsu’s original application for the trademark “iPad” was stalled because the company Mag-Tech had already filled the trademark for a handheld number-encrypting device. U.S. Patent and Trademark Office’s gave Fujitsu’s application a status of abandoned, be Fujitsu reapplied back in June 2009. A month later Apple applied for the international trademark through a proxy and has until February 28th to decide whether they will oppose Fujitsu’s original trademark application.
This is not the first time Apple has chosen a name that’s already used by somebody else. This also happened with the: (more…)
The idea behind the Apple TV is really great but it’s missing some core features that would make me buy it. Just like the “22 things Apple should implement in the iPhone OS” post I’ve been keeping this list with features which I would like to see in the Apple TV. Apple branded the Apple TV as being the thing that your HDTV needs to display HD television shows and HD movies. It’s able to stream your iTunes purchased HD movies from an iTunes library on the same network as the Apple TV, it all sounds great but it could be good. (more…)
