Apple iPad
Jan 27th
The rumors have been finally answered: The iPad is here!
The iPad is basically a touch-only netbook that looks like an enlarged iPhone. Now, if it were up to me, I would try to make it look/feel like a Macbook, but they drifted towards the iPhone look, which should stay small.
The iPad features 6 different versions: A WiFi flavor with 3 different flash drive volume sizes (16GB, 32GB, & 64GB) and a 3G version with the same different flash drive volume sizes. It also features a new Apple chip dubbed ‘A4’ and no, it is not a piece of paper in Europe. The A4 is a new, energy efficient, processor just for the iPad, clocking in at 1GHz. It works with all of your apps that you have downloaded from the App Store, but there is a catch – Its rendered ratio is exactly like that of the iPhone/iPod Touch and you MUST scale that rendered image up to fit the iPad’s LCD screen. Now, this scaling of the image may or may not scale it on a raster level or vector level, that I cannot confirm.
UPDATE #1: It scales pixels up to 2x, so 200% larger pixels. It WILL be blurry and not sharp like iPad dependent apps.
With that being said, I have only ONE question:
When is this going to be jailbroken? st33lsn0w anyone?
Sean Clayton Productions is now Moosetrack Productions
Jan 16th
I proudly present Moosetrack Productions! Along with my good friend, Tyler Mudd, we make up Moosetrack Productions. It was either going to be called Moosetrack or Deer Stool, so I think we made the right decision. And Moosetrack sounds like a good ice cream flavor, so +10 points to us!
Here is a screeny.
By the way, the intro video is temporary until I make our awesome one…
Web Reviews: New Section coming soon!
Dec 14th
So I have been taking my precious time for my viewers by registering my face off to a lot of websites recently. All of these websites are for Twitter, entertainment, resources, or file hosting. I will submit links and my personal review for all of the websites.
So please patiently wait while I go through these useful sites and experience it enough to submit a review. Hopefully this will encourage you to enjoy their services with a thought in mind on their quality.
Google Chrome 4.0.x (Dev Build) Review
Nov 30th
I have been dev testing Google Chrome 4.0.249.11 for only a few hours and I am AMAZED!
I usually only use Safari because its Web Inspector is much better than Chrome’s JavaScript Console, even though they are supposed to be the same.
But in this new version of Chrome, they haven’t updated JSC, but instead they added one feature that Safari lacked on Windows: Extension/Plugins.
There are not any official websites for these extensions/plugins, but there are many that still host quality ones.
I would recommend everyone to get this version of Chrome, but it is only in a dev build, and it is not ready for non-testing purposes as of right now.
So I give Chrome 4.x a 9/10, only because they have yet to improve on Web Inspector/JavaScript Console.
Umm… no vlog or podcast, at least not yet.

Alright I lied when I said a week or two. Its pretty complicated, video blogging. I will be delivering one, but not quite yet.
Well, that is the news for right now. Oh, before I forget, here was my NFL Week 7 predictions from twitter before Sunday. Follow me @hegrindsmygears if you want to.
