To think that the radio was created 90 years ago today is crazy to think about. The world of technology has defiantly advanced so much since then. But 90 years ago today, with a simple print advertisement, the bland department store sparked what would within weeks become one of the largest revolutions in communications and the arts of all time—commercial radio. However before 1920 radio was believe to be a practical for military but had no place in the home. Radio was considered “hobby” or more of a way to talk. Frank Conrad engineer at Westinghouse would not let his technology go to water he last created his own radio transmitter. growing tired of beeping of Morse code, flipped things over to his gramophone, letting people miles away listen to music he chose. He was DJing, almost a century ago. Within three years, over 500 other stations were operating around the country, and half a million radios had been moved off shelves. Ninety years later, you can't escape a passing car blasting Katy Perry on its radio or hearing the same drake song over and over. Radio was the begging of technology today.

Cross-eyed Timekeeping Arrives with Latest Tokyoflash Watch Concept
http://gizmodo.com/5648193/cross+eyed-timekeeping-arrives-with-latest-tokyoflash-concept
The image of this device caught my eye first. My curiosity made me investigate it further it turn out this device is a watch. It took me a while to see the time, even with a hint, but it's certainly there and once you see it you can't un-see that which you have seen. Now, if a person still cannot tell time with this watch, a button on the side turns off the illusion and displays only the numbers. Very confusing to tell time one but it quite and interesting concept. Someone out there will defiantly buy this.

This Aurora Photo Is the Most Insane I've Ever Seen
http://gizmodo.com/5642766/this-aurora-photo-is-the-most-insane-ive-ever-seen
While searching for media news I came across this jaw dropping photo. Auroras emit light because of the emission of photons by oxygen and nitrogen atoms in the upper atmosphere. Those atoms get excited—or ionized—by the collision with solar wind particles, which are accelerated by the Earth's magnetic field. As the atoms get excited or return to their normal state, they emit visible energy. When it is an oxygen atom, the light emitted is either green or brownish-red, depending on the energy level absorbed by the molecule. Blue happens when nitrogen gets ionized and red when it returns to ground state. I came across this picture and was in awe I thought it was so beautiful and it was taken over Norway.

iOS 4.2 on iPad: There's No Going Back
http://gizmodo.com/5639074/ios-42-on-ipad-its-impossible-to-go-back
This article discusses the iPad. Something I show much interest in because I myself want an iPad. However now that I don’t have one at this time I do find interest in looking at iPad information. This article is talking about the new addition to the iPad and how it affects it. It explains the multitasking mail and folder first. And talks about how much better this software makes the IPad that it better with switching from one app to the next. Also now u can collect the apps into different folder instead of having pages of apps you can organize them into one folder. Personally I love organization so this is defiantly a plus. This article also discusses the new wireless printing setting and its game center. The air printing seemed to be a good concept but as of now it has some bugs and problems. However we all know that in time it will be solved.
BETS IPHONE APPS FOR GETTING THINGS DONE
http://lifehacker.com/5639422/the-best-iphone-apps-for-productivity
This article discusses what best IPhone apps for getting things done is. “Whether you're in the office or on the go, the iPhone has become a pocket able workhorse for getting things done. Here are our picks for the best iPhone apps to keep you working productively”. First they speak of an app called remember milk. This app is not just a to do list but also can sync with your devices, email and sms as well as on the web to remind you of what has to be done. Personally I might think of purchasing this for my itouch. However this great app comes with a catch. Though the app itself is free to access its pro features you must pay a fee of $25 dollars a month. The next app is simple note. Its an easy fast way to take notes. I believe this would work best for a person with and I pad using it as a note book. And a plus is that simple note is free. And then they talk about the dragon dictation. This fills the void where voice recognition on the iPhone was lacking. Not u can speak and have almost a personally secretary write it down for you.
