Fall is here

It's the year 2010. October. Rapid City. The landscape is changing. The severe and rough winter is approaching. It's fall time.

It's the season of halloween, it's time for football, and it's the festive season of the year! But what is more fascinating is the changes the trees undergo. The leaves change color, and start to shed. The grass is green no more. In this part of the country, change in grass color indicates the onset of snowfall. Walking by trees on a breezy Sunday afternoon, I was greeted by the yellowish-brown leaves falling off from the trees. The sidewalk was covered with fallen leaves, which were once decorating the trees. Some leaves turn yellow, some brown, and some, even red! It's such a fascinating sight! Putting my gloomy self aside, I take a few snapshots of the trees.

They tell, there is always a calm before the storm. In analogy, if the beautiful, scenic, magnificent, and breath-taking fall colors are the 'calm', then the freezing winter with snowfall would be the 'storm'. I guess it's time to bring those warm clothes on, as fall is here, and freezing temperatures are around the corner. This is the time to enjoy the sun, and all his offerings, before the weather god overpowers him!

Mrs. Santa Singh caught her husband Santa Singh searching high and low all around his living room. 

Mrs. Santa Singh: What are you searching for?

Santa: Hidden cameras!

Mrs. Santa Singh: And what makes you think that there are hidden cameras here?Santa: That guy on TV knows exactly what I am doing. Why every few minutes he keeps saying, You are watching the Star World channel. How does he know that?

Apple to launch Lion in Summer '11

Steve Jobs today announced the arrival of the next major OS X upgrade- Lion (after Leopard and Snow Leopard's success), in summer of 2011. He gave a sneak peak to what Lion would offer. It seems like Apple has made an effort to bring together Mac OS X and iOS devices like iPhone, iPod and iPad, in Lion. Here are some images I ripped off from www.apple.com.

Lion will have new features like "Mission Control", which kinda combines expose and widgets; "Mac App Store", that will bring the App Store to the Mac where users can download and use the 1 billion apps available in the store today. I think that is a very nice addition to the Mac. This move was pretty much anticipated after the success of the iPad. Apple had to bring the app world full-fledgedly to the OS X before some other competitor would do the same. Anyways, the good news is that Mac App Store will be released in 90 days from today, meaning, you don't have to wait for Lion to release.

Another major software leap was the introduction of FaceTime calling on Macs. Yes! Now, FaceTime video calls can be made from any Mac to any iPod Touch, Mac or iPhone 4- for free! This new application for the Mac is available for download today in beta version (for Mac on Snow Leopard or later).

Some other updates like iLife '11, were also announced at the October 20 Apple Special Event today. These updates along with the new line of MacBook Air was announced. This is another leap in the Apple industry, as now, unlike ever before, phone, computer and entertainment devices will start to sync together in our lives! Kudos, Apple!

Limera1n is out!

So, finally, geohot makes a comeback with a bang! Limera1n released on 10/10/10, before the release of the Chronic Dev Team's GreenPois0n. In fact, greenpois0n is now delayed so as to not give away both exploits (SHAtter and Limera1n's exploit) to Apple to patch in their next iOS update. There are also rumors that geohot might also release an unlock for the new baseband on iOS 4.1, called limesn0w. If that's the case, then it might be party-time for many iPhone users, who are not on AT&T. Kudos, Geohot!
