“Google Earth is once again changing the world or, more specifically, they’re changing the way swastika-shaped buildings are built. The Navy is spending upwards of $600,000 to modify a 40-year-old barracks that, when viewed by satellite imaging programs like Windows Live and Google Earth, looks like a giant swastika.”

Apple releases iPhone firmware 1.1.1
Yes yes, friends. The day has finally arrived. Apple dropped a new iPhone firmware revision, bringing the official software notation up to version 1.1.1. This new software brings a host of changes and upgrades. Here’s a rundown of some of the more significant changes:
- iTunes Wi-Fi music store
- Louder speakerphone and receiver volume
- Home button double-click functionality
- Double-tap spacebar to intelligently insert period and space
- Apple Bluetooth headset battery status now appears in iPhone Status bar
- Support for TV Out
- EDGE/GPRS can now be manually turned on and off
- Adjustable alert volume
Apple elegantly states they have “discovered that some of the unauthorized unlocking programs available on the Internet may cause irreparable damage to the iPhone’s software. If you have modified your iPhone’s software, applying this software update may result in your iPhone becoming permanetly inoperable” For now, if you’ve “modified” your iPhone, we suggest you wait and see what the word is before updating. Although, the new features look oh-so-good! If you do decide to hit the update, let us know what happens!

Apple’s Mac Sales Are Surging
“While it’s a “beautiful and breakthrough” product, as Wall Street Journal columnist Walt Mossberg wrote in his influential review of the touch-screened smart phone, it simply isn’t worth its initial $599 price tag—a fact that Apple CEO Steve Jobs all but admitted earlier this month.
“This is life in the technology lane,” Jobs said of his decision to slash the iPhone’s price by $200.
You might have thought such capitulation would send shivers down Apple investors’ spines. Indeed, after it had surged to a record high of $146 a share in July, rumors that the iPhone wasn’t selling like hotcakes sent the stock down by nearly 10 percent after Apple’s price-cut announcement. (It was off by twice as much during the stock market’s mid-August swoon.)”
