Opena is the world's first iPhone 4/4S case with a slide out bottle opener. This case was first available as a Kickstarter project and I was one of their many backers. If you don't know anything about Kickstarter, you should definitely check it out. It was great to see the guys behind this case with updates on the production side of things all the way to finished product.
As for the review, it works great opening beers. I've used it quite a few times already and it's rock solid. It does add some weight to the phone, quite a bit in fact. That's usually the comment I get from people when I pass my iPhone to them -- jeezus, that thing is heavy.
There is another issue to do the with the headphones. Your standard iPhone earbuds won't have an issue, but if you plug a thicker cable, it will still plug in, but will fall out unless you hold it in. I would suspect the guys to "round out" the issue in the next version. Still, it's the ultimate party case and certainly turns a few heads.
Stuff Magazine got a hold of the iPhone 4S early and have posted this video showing a demo of Siri. It's a little strange that the demo users keep hitting the microphone button even after saying something. Siri seems to work off the pause of speech, so don't why they're doing that. As Steve would have said, you're doing it wrong.
Steve Jobs, Apple's Ex-CEO and creative genius/visionary has passed away at the age of 56. He had been battling pancreatic cancer since August 2004 and only stepped down from the CEO role in late August 2011 due to his health.
RIP Steve. I'll remember him for not only the great products his company released under his reign but also for his superbly delivered keynotes in his black turtle neck and jeans with no belt. I was lucky enough to see the main in action at WWDC 2010 when the iPhone 4 was launched.
CNet writes "One of the most legendary businessmen in American history, Jobs turned three separate industries on their head in the 35 years he was involved in the technology industry."
PBDB.net, the Australian Paintball Database site, has decided to close it doors after 5-6 years of operation.
Back in the day, I use to play paintball every weekend and it was great. Samford had one of the best fields in Australia and unfortunately, when a thunderstorm damaged their poles and netting, they decided not to repair it -- hence killing off one of the best places to play.
Also during this time, two indoor fields, Velocity and Gord's Indoor were both places we frequented. Unfortunately, both these fields couldn't stay afloat and folded, leaving pretty much nowhere to play paintball.
The PBDB site was left up, as we all hoped that one day, paintball would become viable again but thanks to the lack of fields and the ever restrictive gun license laws in Queensland, the sport was never going to grow.
So, we shed a tear, drink a beer and think of all the good times.
