Check out this video from Stargate Studios. Whats being illustrated is how TV and movie studio are using CGI rather then filing on location to cut costs. I was impressed.

Sure the four digit passcode on the iPhone is cool, but looking for something a little more secure you can enable an alphanumeric password on your iPhone with a free utility Apple provides.

First Download the iPhone Configuration Utility from Apple (for Mac or PC, and connect your phone.

Then launch the utility, go to “Configuration Profiles”, “New”. Give it a name and identifier, then go down to Passcode, enable it and set your own options.

Once you’re done, go to your phone in the left pane, “Configuration Profiles” tab, and click install next your profile. It’ll pop up on your phone and you can install it!

Simple and secure way to lock down your iPhone a little more.

As we wait patiently with baited breath (and wallets burning) for the iPad (insert joke here) to grace the world with its presence I was asked this question:

Hey, I have an iPhone that I play games on. If I get an iPad in addition to the iPhone, what happens to my game data? Does it stay in sync?

Interesting question. How will Apple handle the iPad? Will it be a companion to the iPhone and share data or will it be a standalone device? Surely Apple had to consider such a scenario. Hmmmm. Will iTunes sync data? MobileMe? Or SOL?

Neat!

I must admit, if a few applications I rely on (such as LogMeIn) were to move over to Android I think I would use the Nexus One over the iPhone.

year ago, Sling Media, a subsidiary of EchoStar, introduced a nifty application for the Apple iPhone that allowed users with a Slingbox at home to watch and control their home television signal from their handsets.

The only problem: AT&T said that such a bandwidth-intensive video service would overwhelm its network, so it limited the application to work only over an iPhone’s Wi-Fi connection. TV lovers and techies worldwide cried out in anguish.

But all that is about to change. AT&T announced Thursday morning that it will now allow the SlingPlayer iPhone app to stream live over its 3G network.

“Since mid-December 2009, AT&T has been testing the app and has recently notified Sling Media — as well as Apple — that the optimized app can run on its 3G network,” said the carrier in a press release.

Sling, in addition to various consumer groups, had complained to the Federal Communications Commission that AT&T’s policy was discriminatory, since other applications, such as Major League Baseball’s, also stream live video over AT&T’s 3G network.

AT&T appears to have recognized that its position was indefensible and relented.

Nothing like the words “relented” and “indefensible” in the morning!

Ok, is it me or if you question Steve Jobs all knowingness he will put you in your corner. Poor ol’ Mossberg seems to have awoken the ire of el’ Jobs-o.
