iPhone 4: Incredible Strength
by EkosDeux on Jun.29, 2010, under Off Topic
The newest iPhone has hit the streets. While everyone is complaining about their antenna issues, and wiesel lawyers are finding reasons to sue. I find myself amazed at how strong this new model is, and the strength of the new glass. After watching the video below by Richard Ryan I expected the phone to blow into pieces, at least for the glass to explode, due to the round’s power. A .50 BMG round can produce between 10,000 and 15,000 foot pounds(between 14 and 18 kilojoules) or more, depending on its powder and bullet type, as well as the rifle it was fired from. I found it hard to believe the phone was in one piece. What are your thoughts?
Twitbird

Twitbird was recently updated to version 2.5. I have been using twitbird for about a year now, and have been very satisfied. The developers are always working to make theirs apps better, and ask customers lots of questions in order to achieve great success.I personally prefer the new espresso theme, but you can choose your own from a few different ones. This will be a brief, photo based, review of what I like the most.
The home screen allows for multiple identities, but since I am using the premium version I can have two.
Once inside your chosen account you will see the very familiar layout. This is an option, as you can also have it be in rows.
You have multiple options on how to read your tweets.
It allows for easy tweet management.
Also, you have options on how to read your links. Now, ReadItLAter, Instapaper, etc.
And finally, one of my favorite is the ease with which you can send tweets.
If you are looking for a twitter client, and don’t like the twitter app, give twitbird a try. What is your favorite client?

Welcome and thanks for reading. This post will cover how to run Android inside of a Virtual Machine on your Mac or PC. I will do the video on my Mac, but the same steps can be followed on a PC. The problem arose while attempting to install Android 1.6, but the video displays a way to get it to work. Thanks for reading, and please leave a comment if you have any tips.
