When you hear the words “auto industry” in this day and age, it is hard to think of a properous and youthful market. One that is expanding and on the leading edge of automotive technology. However, we all know that the U.S. auto industry is anything but “leading edge” or prosperous. Unfortunately, they aren’t the only market to start feeling the pinch of not only economic times, but also the technological times as technology and digitized goods become more and more a part of our daily lives. So what area of the market has been thrust into the spotlight claiming to be in the most dire need of help and a solution…the newspaper industry…

Do you cherish the internet? See it as the portal to the world? Do you download gigs of data everyday? Every week? Every month? Are you downloads pirated content or legitimate stuff?

At the iPhone OS 3.0 preview, Apple stated the delay was because of “developers suggesting ideas and methods of implementing the push service that they had never thought of”, which in return required a complete re-write of the service, hence the massive delay.

Everyone has been getting all hot and bothered lately about Apple’s next UI overhaul. What will it look like? Well, since iTunes 7 came out with a darker look, you have probably been staring at the next Apple OS UI and didn’t even know it. Apple loves simplicity, eye candy, and used to cherish uniformity. However, with the darker look in iTunes 7/8 and now the new iLife ‘09 suite, Apple seems to either be going through a slow transition as to not shock us all at once, or they themselves don’t even know what they want to do, like they’re stuck between Aqua and “Marble”. All of this uncertainty on UI styles brings up the question: Why one style? Come inside for a look at several styles OS X has taken and the possibility of what future renditions hold…
