      <![CDATA[<p>Check out National Geographic&#8217;s article on the video editing system used by an Everest expediiton to send daily 3 minute dispatches from the summit. 2 macbook pros, lacie rugged drives and a sony camera were rigged up to transfer videos and photos, all powered by solar energy. It&#8217;s great to see that the same technology we are using for holiday videos and snowboard clips is just as viable up there @ Basecamp. Good thing they chose Macs. You wouldn&#8217;t want to encounter the blue screen of death (does this still happen?) up there.</p>

Using the iPod/ iPhone&#8217;s touch interface, you flick the screen to send paper balls careening towards your objective &#8211; the red bin. Each toss is affected by the office fan which pops up in different spots, so you have to account for both wind speed and direction. As your skill improves, pick a higher dificulty level and roll your <a href="http://www.hermanmiller.com/Products/Aeron-Chairs">Herman Miller Aeron</a> back a couple of feet to increase the distance.</p>
<p>The graphics deserve a mention. Your offices is rendered in gorgrous detail from the stock blue office carpet, to the windows XP wallpaper on the PC. And the audio is worth putting on your headphones for. An ambient loop of typing clicks, office fans and monotonous office sounds will have you cringing before long. lob a stray ball into someone&#8217;s cubicle and hear them complain. But sink one in the bin and take in the Applause.</p>
<p>5 out of 5 for time wasting value. It&#8217;s <span class="caps">FREE</span>.. So get paper toss and get your score up on the blackboard.</p>

<p>Apple has just announced the iPhone 3Gs &#8220;the fastest, most powerful iPhone yet.&#8221;. Until the next product cycle commences anyway. The new iPhone will be 2x faster than the iPhone 3G when surfing and loading apps. Looking cosmetically the same on the outside, the new phone does come wiht a slew of new features under the hood. Of note are the improved 3D support &#8211; more games. A new 3 megapixel camera which is video capapble &#8211; Let nothing ever go uncaptured. Voice control, which will no doubt be used in some amazing apps. &#8220;Computer, read email&#8221; or &#8220;Computer, find me the nearest toilet&#8221;. Proper <span class="caps">GPS</span> like navigation which knows which direction you are facing. Again great for gaming.

	<p>Kondobots are human like robots from Japan which have been quite a hit with basement robophiles. Not satisfied with watching their creations dance and do push ups, some evil minds have unleashed their robots against one another in fight club style battles. Not suprising given that Mecha anime genre orginated from Japan. One step closer to the complete annihilation of the human race? Only time will tell..</p>

	<p>But there is a cuter side. Check out the RoboChan, an ipod touch controlled kondobot. From the video, the app is able to control and program the robot&#8217;s movements . Craazy stuff.</p>

	<p>It&#8217;s nothing short of amazing how the iPod / iPhone have in a short space of time given us such a vast number of applications. Sure a whole lot of them may be Kwap, but every now and then one appears which just blows your mind away with how creatively people are making use of the iPhone&#8217;s interface.</p>


	<p>Take a look at Smule&#8217;s Ocarina &#8211; a wind pipe instrument which Zelda fans should be familiar with. This app cleverly utilises the speaker on the iPhone and the touch interface to mimic an ocarina. Once you have mastered a couple of tunes (you can get sheet music from SMule.com), you can even upload the music to share with other players. All via an amazing globe interface.</p>

	<p>Low profile protection for your ipods/ iphones and laptops!<br />Condom jokes aside.. InvisibleSHIELDs provide maximum protection for your  ipods/ iphones and laptops and they are so low profile you won&#8217;t even know they are there. It&#8217;s hard to believe that such sheer protection will actually safeguard your ipod/laptop from scratches. But invisibleSHIELDs were originally meant to protect military helicopter blades from high speed damage and those things spin at around 450 rpm. Each invisibleSHIELD is made of a thin, clear film which is virtually invisible keeping your device&#8217;s original aesthetics intact.</p>]]>

      <![CDATA[<p>The iPhone 3G launch has been set for June 9th at the <span class="caps">WWDC</span> according to &#8220;someone very very close to the 3G iPhone launch&#8221;. This fits with what we have heard here at MacStylez. Apple has stopped production of the 2nd gen iPhone and the first batch of 3G phones is being made in Taiwan as we speak. If all goes well, we should be getting our sweaty hands on some very very soon.</p>

	<p>You can check out their review of Gelaskins where they are put through scratch tests. Proves that Gelakins not only look great but do a damn good job of protecting your iPods as well.</p>

    <title>Klear Screen iKlear kits - Ultimate Mac hygiene</title>

      <![CDATA[<p>Klear Screen&#8217;s iKlear Apple cleaning kits definitely come with some respectable street cred. They are recommended by Apple and used on <span class="caps">US </span>Space shuttles and space stations. And if <span class="caps">NASA</span> trusts iKlear to protect their multi-dollar investments in space technology, then it&#8217;s probably good enough for the rest of us.</p>


	<p>Each kit comes with a bottle of cleaning solution, special high tech equipment cleaning chamois, and a host of travel wipes. The iKlear polishing formula is non-toxic and environmentally free (yay!) and the optical grade clothes are made of the softest materials which your mac will love. This is the ultimate in Apple care.</p>]]>
