It's the future of the iPhone (maybe).

Apple just can’t keep its devices a secret.  The iPhone 4G was leaked early.  The MacBook was leaked early.  Apple employees lose phones in bars all the time.  There’s just no real way to keep anything secret.  In that spirit, who wants to see what the upcoming iPhone looks like?  Leaked images of the iPhone 5 have been released, revealing design changes and material changes.  If that’s not mouth-watering enough, 9to5Mac has a full image gallery of the iPhone 5.

So what’s different?  Well, the connector port at the bottom of the iPhone looks to be smaller than the current generation, and the headphone jack is in a different place.  The iPhone’s body looks to be longer, suggesting a larger viewing screen on the device.  The back appears to be aluminum with glass sections at the top and bottom, which would make the phone a bit more responsive when it comes to actually making phone calls.  The antenna is believed to be built into the metal casing, which would make the iPhone 5 more like the unibody construction trend Apple follows.  In addition, the speaker grills are redesigned, there’s a new port for what may be a second microphone on the front, and no doubt the internals will be all different, too.

So, is this a positive development for Apple?  If it works as a phone and improves battery life, then that’s definitely a victory for the notoriously energy-hungry smartphone.

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
