As this is expected from the release of iOS 4 that many apps will be updated, the official Twitter app is already updated to support iOS 4 and multitasking. Directly, it means you can do whatever you want with your iPhone, switch back to Twitter, and check some updates, or just literally send out “Damn that guy is cute!” tweet instantly without re-launching the app. After the crazy tweet fest, you can easily leave the app at background, and continue at whatever you are doing, letting it cat nap at the back just like a good kitten. With the update comes along some “improved secure” tweeting practices. All that’s missing now is the “sent from Twitter for iPhone 4” tag that will increase your exotic points by over 9000, which many of you surely love to have.
Not a very popular market, but we’re now starting to see some LCD displays from manufacturers that provides mini DisplayPort which will eventually replace DVI port. Belkin has jump in to sell converter which takes the 1080P signal from the HDMI cable, and downgrade the signal to 720P for the mini DisplayPort, along with a stereo-out for the audio signal, though DisplayPort will soon carry audio signal too. The market for such converter also seemed skeptical, as not many has jumped over to the DisplayPort boat, and many displays are coming with HDMI ports despite the display size. With the price tag of $150, it doesn’t seem to be very encouraging.
Retina display, something that Apple claims is 30 times stronger than conventional plastic, doesn’t seemed to convince us a lot when the front glass-like thing cracked after 4 drops. With the new display design being 2 glasses that sandwich the aluminum chassis of the phone, I really wonder how we are going to fix this $499 phone if we drop it 5 times in a week, or even a day. Not really a phone for those clumsy and clueless.
If you’ve not notice, YouTube has added a small ball icon on their video player, which creates the annoying mosquito sound. But somehow I’ve got accustomed with the noise, that I actually started to like it. Let’s add some world cup fever to our daily routines for these few weeks.

As usual most clocks are powered by AA batteries or AAA batteries, and designers have been keeping the ugly part hidden for decades. Now “The Wrong Objects” has done it again, by forgoing the traditional design, and putting those ugly batteries where it shouldn’t belong. The Front & back clock uses the battery positions to act as the hour and minute needles. The design is sleek and clean, with totally no wordings and no designs on its surface. I believe it would look awesome if someone actually go and create a glowing battery, or glow-in-the-dark sort of stuff. But I’m still unsure which battery is showing the hour and which is showing the minute!
