Cue the fanfare and get ready to go down to your local Apple store and get into line.  Apple has a scheduled press event at the Yerba Buena Center in San Francisco, California, for September 12, 2012.  Whenever Apple does this, that means there’s a new announcement upcoming.  Given the leaked images of the iPhone 5 and the traditional loss of an iPhone prototype at a bar, that can only mean one thing.  Apple is announcing the iPhone 5 on September 12, or so the rumors say.

“A new iPhone is in line with all of our expectations,” said ISI analyst Brian Marshall.  “Frankly, the iPhone 4S is a bit long in the tooth from a technological standpoint.  For example, most smartphones now have the larger 4-inch screens, so I’m sure we’ll see the new iPhone with that larger screen as well.  They could sell 50 million or more that quarter if things go right.”

Selling 50 million phones in a single quarter is impressive, though it is soon to be the heart of the December holiday season and the iPhone is undoubtedly going to be a popular gift.  Apple has a built-in fan base, so there will be a ton of immediate upgrades on that account alone, not counting all the older iPhone editions Apple will lock out from upgrades and force upgrades of some sort on.  Here’s hoping some of the rumored upgrades prove to be true.

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.
