It has been rumored that the iPod Touch will receive an update very soon at the end of this year. What’s more is that the Touch might also have Apple’s FaceTime video-calling function. Now of kush the iPod Touch will not have mobile numbers as it doesn’t have SIM slot, but instead Apple will be using email for the Touch’s FaceTime app.

With this getting into the iPod Touch, we can certainly guess that the iPod Touch will have camera or even 2 cameras (a front vga camera and a back 5-MegaPixel camera) perhaps? But my bet is a front vga camera with a back 3.2MegaPixel camera with LED flash. But the Touch’s price will surely shoot sky high with such features included.

Net neutrality has always been a bitter discussion. While many civilians want neutrality and privacy in their Internet space, many governments prefer a monitored and controlled Internet censorship, nodded by many ISP. However, one of the big boys of Chile, The Board of the Chamber of Deputies has voted almost unanimously to pass Bulletin 4915, which includes the statement below.

“…ensure access to all types of content, services or applications available on the network and offer a service that does not distinguish content, applications or services, based on the source of it or their property.”

So far there’s still no comments coming from the ISP of Chile. Must be scratching their heads till bleeding right now.

Just before the arrival of iOS 4.1, Apple has released a minor update for the iPad. Version 3.2.1 (cute number eh?) fixed some minor issues like frequent disconnection to Wi-Fi, errors in watching videos, or errors in opening single-page PDFs. Just hook up your iPad and get it loaded. Go, go, go!

Remember when we mentioned that the Windows 7 Service Pack 1 would be coming soon? Well, it’s here! But I never expect it to come this early. The SP1 packs all the updates and patches from launch day till present, and with some other interesting additional patches, into a somewhat large package. We’re talking about 1.2GB worth of updates here. Head over to the download page if you really want it, but still this is in beta, so there’s no need to rush. There’s also nothing much from this Service Pack except for patches and updates.

Remember Tony Stark’s transparent smartphone? Well there are some very smart people out there, that go further a distance and done something to have the ‘similar’ effect.

If you own a Samsung Galaxy S, you can download Samsung’s custom Android app called Road SMS. It’s a simple text messaging program, but instead of the usual backdrop of your phone, Road SMS displays a live video feed from the rear of the phone behind the UI.

This is Britain’s train expert, Paul the Octopus Priestman’s design, the double-decker Mercury train.
