You know what that means? iPhone 4 could hit Verizon, and shortly after the release of Windows Phone 7, so will it matter? Will the antenna still suck, yes. Will the Verizon bandwidth be sucked down, yes as well. Two things to consider before dropping everything to get it. Two steps from going to Verizon and Apple looks like they will seal the deal, Verizon may get the iPhone 4 in January but remember Verizon Wireless is notorious for getting something and not releasing it until 3months after getting it. | 8/11/2010 11:20 PM | | | Brandon Bernicky | | I am the guy who informs the public of news. |

Wait one min. California is bankrupt, why are they spending more? Well anyway In San Francisco you may notice
something new if you drive a car and parallel park on the side of the street. The parking meters (powered by SFpark) take change like any other parking meters. Oh and they take credit cards, or debit cards too. If that sounds cool you haven’t heard anything yet, there is also sensors on the streets in the linked parking meters to charge more for parking if the areas busy (aka supply and demand) that means the parking meter could cost you between one quarter an hour to 6 bucks an hour. But that’s not all it does what the sensors, it also tells drivers by Phone, web, or text where they can park in advanced, to help the 1/3 traffic of driving in circles (Man Washington DC needs that). I don’t know about you but I like that better than $3.00 an hour from 9am to 3pm.

We’re not kidding, this is the world’s first bendable bicycle and it was made by a 21 year old student in the UK. This amazing bike rides perfectly and then can be bent into a shape to be securely locked to a pole. Bicycle thieves try stealing this! | 7/11/2010 7:52 PM | | | Brandon Bernicky | | I am the guy who informs the public of news. |

Zynga can’t get enough. You would think after having the biggest game on Facebook they would stop, but they have now moved to the mobile market. On June 25th Zynga released Farmville for iPhone/iPad/iPod touch. This app lets you access the same Facebook farm on your phone. So no more bringing your laptop to the mall so you can stop in JCPenny and sit down to harvest your crops because now you can do it where you won’t look like as much of an idiot. The app is free and is currently the number four app in the Apple Marketplace. | 7/6/2010 6:14 PM | | | Brandon Bernicky | | I am the guy who informs the public of news. |

Just when you thought the DS couldn’t be upgraded again, here comes the Nintendo 3DS, the first 3D portable gaming system that yes is still touch screen, Nintendo is back in the portable gaming race, and they are sure winning. One thing bad about it is the top screen is 3D and the bottom is not. That would sure be hard for people who get motion sickness easy. No word yet when this cool idea will come out.

| There are a few main differences that make Google Chrome and Internet Explorer different, such as Google Chrome has a strong multiprocess architecture, and Internet Explorer has Accelerators. Google Chrome also supports HTML5 while the current version of Internet Explorer does not. Internet Explorer however works flawlessly with SharePoint, while Google Chrome does not. The similarities are slim, but the differences are strong. What seems like such a small tool to surf websites like Facebook and MySpace, are in fact tremendously important to the reliability of your productivity and performance.
First, one of the main differences between Google Chrome and Internet Explorer is Chrome’s multiprocess architecture which was pointed out by PC World is one of the most significant differences between the browsers. Google Chrome has the best multiprocess architecture which keeps it from crashing as much as competing browsers. Internet Explorer’s multiprocess architecture is not as stable therefore not being as reliable for bulky websites.
In the workplace Internet Explorer excels because of its flawless support with SharePoint 2007, which Google lacks because of its lack of Office integration. Google Chrome does offer HTML5 support which is a new native support with websites that Internet Explorer cannot handle.
Those are the main differences between Google Chrome and Internet Explorer. Both great browsers, but in their own ways. | 6/29/2010 11:24 PM | | | Brandon Bernicky | | I am the guy who informs the public of news. |

iPhone 4 is a great gadget, we can’t cover it all, but we can try right? The iPhone has one setback though, it’s on ATT, America’s chickenpox network, but if you put aside the crap carrier you will find this phone is amazing. First feature, Facetime positive, one of the first phones to fully intragrate face calling, negative, only works with Wi-Fi, making the feature useless. Next up to the plate, 5mp camera, positive 720p camera in back and front, negative Droid and Windows Phone 7 as well as Kin have an 8 MP camera. Also you now have the ability to multitask on its more durable hardware. Won’t the battery die, nope. The iPhone 4 also has a bigger battery. There’s so much more that the iPhone does that we cannot fit in here, so for more information go to www.apple.com/iphone. This is a BSN Exclusive. | 6/26/2010 6:51 PM | | | Brandon Bernicky | | I am the guy who informs the public of news. |

Alright guys let’s run down some of the programs that PC Magazine said was the best of the best, here’s our review on these programs.
1. Wikipedia Companion
Okay this program looks pretty cool if you use Wikipedia, you can’t use it if you’re at a school because well, schools don’t trust Wikipedia. Wikipedia Companion opens your search term in a new frame/tab though making your searching easy and fun. Download the add-on here: http://download.cnet.com/Wikipedia-Companion-Mini-Wiki-Browser/3000-2378_4-75005205.html
2. Sepia Town
Sepia Town does one thing; it takes thousands of vintage photos and matches them up with their modern day location, why would you want that? Well if you were doing a research paper about a very very very small town in the 1890's and you needed to provide pictures this would be good for you.
Visit Sepia Town here: http://www.sepiatown.com/
PC magazine left us hanging at 2 so being amazing BSN will put in some of our own, 2 more in fact.
3. Dream Scene for Windows 7
If you had Windows Vista Ultimate you know what I’m talking about, the best program on earth right? This program was used in Vista to make your desktop animate using a video file, an AVI in fact. Do you miss it? I do, but not anymore, you can download it now FROM BSN's download center today, because we were going to link it to the original sites download page, but it makes you wait 60 seconds. Here at BSN we don’t want you waiting 60 seconds to DOWNLOAD, no, we want you to DOWNLOAD it in 60 seconds. Here’s the link for 64bit only (note I could not get this working, it works about 60% of the time with Windows 7 computers, why not give it a try) http://tinyurl.com/BSNwindows7-1
To install follow My Digital Life's instructions:
For 64-bit Windows Dream Scene: Unpack the DreamScene_Win7_x64.zip archive, then copy DreamScene.dll to %WinDir%\System32
\, DreamScene.dll.mui to %WinDir%\System32\en-US\. Run Dscene.reg to install the required registry keys and values. Restart Explorer or reboot to complete the installation.
A Windows Dream Scene folder has also been created in %WinDir%\Web\ folder. You can place any video file that you want to set as Dream Scene background wallpaper here as in Windows Vista, or anywhere you like. However, the folder is less useful as Windows 7 does not support direct viewing of video or animated media in Personalization Control Panel.
Windows 7 Dream Scene Usage Guide
To apply a video clip (in .WMV or .MPG format) as the Dream Scene animated wallpaper desktop background, right click on the video media file, and select Set as Desktop Background in the context menu. Due to Dream Scene been stripped from Windows 7 issue, video files may not be visible inside Personalization and Desktop Background configuration page. However, all features of Dream Scene, such as Play Dream Scene, Pause Dream Scene and sound/audio are supported.
