I bet your new laptop doesn’t have a floppy drive OR a trackball. Thanks @ozsultan!

(…and yes, it works.)

If Microsoft releases an SDK for Kinect …
… And if Apple has its eyes on the living room in a quest for seamless media + iOS integration (as seen in ever-more-useful improvements to Apple TV) eventually leading to iOS apps-on-TV …
… Then is it just me, or can anyone else smell a really good fight brewing?

The updated iPhone signal meter

Perhaps it’s due to that fancypants retina display, but I noticed after updating my iPhone 4 to the newest firmware today that Apple seems to have changed the look of the signal meter. 

This picture is a composite of an old iPhone publicity shot and a screenshot I took on my phone. The status bar with the old signal meter appears directly above a cropped screenshot I took running iOS 4.0.1. Basically, they raised the height of the lowest-most signal strength bar and tweaked the heights of the other bars just a bit and in doing so gave the slope of all five bars just a hint of a skewed curve.
