Apple Unveils New In-Phone Ad System
Last Updated on Monday, 7 June 2010 06:20 Written by servbot_kill Monday, 7 June 2010 06:20
Well, it’s finally here: along with Steve Jobs’ introduction of a shining, tempered-glass and aluminum shelled new generation iPhone that’s had a good part of the internet in uproarious joy, so too came the ad service that more than a few people had speculated would come (I’m sure they have anyways).
Called iAd (duh), the service will see in-app ads that will be themselves interactive in some form or another. While these ads will take up the entire screen, there will be options to close out the ads and won’t be locked in place. Additionally, since it’s Apple, there’s a rather high probability that we’ll see advertisers wrung through the same strict standards that app developers are. Anything remotely resembling a Head-On commercial on the iPhone is, I think, doubtful (unless you pull it up deliberately on YouTube to annoy someone else).

Smartphone Operating System Marketshare
Last Updated on Monday, 10 May 2010 08:59 Written by DarkKnightH20 Tuesday, 11 May 2010 10:00
A lot of people assume that either the iPhone OS or Google Android OS are the #1 smartphone operating systems used. Actually, they’re not! The number one spot belongs to….RIM! With their BlackBerry operating system. Android takes second place, which use to belong to Apple, who now takes third place instead. Here’s a chart to put things in a more visual perspective–
Obviously Android will stay on the rise and, in my opinion, overtake the number 1 spot easily. This is because Android is an operating system that isn’t specific to a certain brand of phone, unlike Apple, and therefore can expand easily.

Free Apple iPod Touch / iPhone App: Top 100s by Year
Last Updated on Monday, 3 May 2010 09:40 Written by DarkKnightH20 Monday, 3 May 2010 09:39
This cool app, which uses Microsoft’s Bing, allows you to not only see what the top 100 songs were each year (from 1947 to 2009), but also listen to them! That’s right, you can stream each song. How are these lists made? “These lists are not solely based on the Billboard charts and record sales, instead, these are lists of songs that have stood the test of time based on their initial and lasting popularity, and on their impact on the overall scope of musical history.” Neat! “The songs are streamed in shuffle mode like a web radio station through 3G, Edge or Wi-fi”.

Free iPod Touch / iPhone App: Safe OR – Safety Checklist
Last Updated on Saturday, 13 March 2010 07:29 Written by DarkKnightH20 Saturday, 13 March 2010 07:29
This particular app, though well-rated (4/5 stars), is for select people really — people who work in the operating room. That doesn’t mean you can’t still go ahead and get it anyway! It is FREE for a limited amount of time. You can get it from HERE. Basically, this is a 19-point checklist with rules to follow in the operating room. Imagine someone whipping out their iPhone or iPod Touch in the operating room to make sure that they don’t kill you, lol. Here’s some information on it:
The WHO Surgical Safety Checklist has recently been reported to reduce post-operative mortality by over 40%. This checklist has now been adapted into an easy to use iPhone App.
No need to remember the 19-point checklist – run through it on your iPhone. This tool is designed to help surgeons, anesthetists, OR nurses and other health care professionals reduce the risk of surgical complications and mortality.
Designed for use in the OR, this software was converted from cutting edge research to an iPhone app within a week of online publication. Now that’s knowledge translation at its best.
