Just went on a couple of trips, and all I had with me for pictures was my iPhone 4s and I did not miss having a stand alone camera. My daughter had her Nikon S8200 compact with her, and for outdoor shots my iPhone was it’s equal.
Check out the iPhone 4s gallery here, or click on the picture above.

Just dowloading the update took over 3 hours and then the backup/restore part and then the verifying and the …. you get the picture. Of course it’s my fault for wanting to have it on the first day of release when everyone and their mother, brother, uncle, sister etc want is too. Earlier in the day I downloaded OS X 10.7.2 for my Mac Pro, and that took about 3 hours as well.
Apple’s new data center really can’t take all this traffic, can it? I hope all goes well with your updates. Maybe you should wait a couple of days for the traffic to die down and you’ll probably download the updates in about 20 minutes.

Sad news to report, Steve Jobs has passed away.
Apple co-founder Steve Jobs announced on Wednesday that he is no longer fit to serve as the company’s chief executive officer, officially resigning from the position, which has been be filled by Chief Operating Officer Tim Cook.
The announcement came Wednesday evening in a press release directed at the Apple Board of Directors, as well as the company’s community. Jobs said he would like to stay on as Chairman of the Board, director and Apple employee, a wish that was granted by the board.
This is the letter below:
]]>To the Apple Board of Directors and the Apple Community:
I have always said if there ever came a day when I could no longer meet my duties and expectations as Apple’s CEO, I would be the first to let you know. Unfortunately, that day has come.
I hereby resign as CEO of Apple. I would like to serve, if the Board sees fit, as Chairman of the Board, director and Apple employee.
As far as my successor goes, I strongly recommend that we execute our succession plan and name Tim Cook as CEO of Apple.
I believe Apple’s brightest and most innovative days are ahead of it. And I look forward to watching and contributing to its success in a new role.
I have made some of the best friends of my life at Apple, and I thank you all for the many years of being able to work alongside you.Steve
I'm going to download it, are you?

If your 2TB Time Capsule is filling up, you can now upgrade to 3TB. Personally, I have never used the Time Capsule but wired external raid drives. If you don’t require super speedy backups, then this would be a good idea with many placement options since it’s wireless.
Apple has now posted store pages for the updated 2 TB ($299) and 3 TB ($499) Time Capsules. The new models offer the same price points as before, but with the upgraded capacities.
Apple has also posted a new store page for the AirPort Extreme, although it is still unclear what improvements are included over the previous generation. Price remains $179.
It’s finally here. Apple has released Final Cut Pro X, a brand new version of its flagship professional non-linear video editing software. It should be available as a $299 download from the App Store now. You can add Motion 5 and Compressor 4 for $49 each, for a total of $397.
