Foo Fighters (and iPhone 5 announcement) at Yerba Buena Center video is available

Video of Foo Fighters performance from Yerba Buena Center on September 12, 2012 is now available for streaming and download.

MC of the show, Tim Cook.

The opening act went on and on for 1 hour and 40 minutes announcing some kind of phone, music player or something like that.

This is probably the weirdest opening act to Foo Fighter show I have ever seen.

The Foos performed “Times Like These”, “My Hero” and “Walk” acoustically.

Not sure what happened at the end as Nate Mendel walked off the stage while the rest of the band stayed with Tim Cook.

iOS 6: Panorama

iOS 6 brings Panorama to iOS devices.

It is available for iPhone 4S in addition to iPhone 5. What about iPhone 4? Stay tuned.

UPDATE:
Panorama is available only on iPhone 4S, iPone 5 and the new iPod touch.

I took a low light panorama picture using an iPhone 4S. I had to resize it because it’s too huge.

24 MegaPixels photo anyone?

No Microsoft, you didn’t Bing It On.

First I saw the promoted Tweet in my feed:

ORLY?

Then it came down to this:

Bing lost to Google.

I searched for “Natalie Portman Ridiculous Movie” back in February 2011, and Google returned results that mentioned “Your Highness” movie.

Sorry Microsoft, you lost… this time…again.

It sounds less creepy saying “I’ll Google it” compared to “I’ll Bing it.”
