Apple Announces September 1, 2010 Music Event.

Just in case you’ve been waiting to get a new iPod, waiting for another week would be a good idea. Apple has sent out invitations to select few that don’t rhyme with bizmodo to a September 1, 2010 Music Event. The event will be held at Yerba Buena Center for The Arts Theater in San Francisco. The event starts at 10:00 AM Cupertino Time.

As usual some sites will be bringing live coverage from the event.

What do we know so far?

  • iOS 4.1 availability will be announced for iPhone and iPod touch; not the iPad.

  • The next iLife suite.
  • New iTunes software and services.

Crazy Speculations:

  • Rounded corner of something.
  • White iPhone 4.

Anyway, as usual check back for list of live coverage links here.

Futurama “The Prisoner of Benda” and Stargate SG-1 “Holiday”

Gotta love the Futurama episode titled “The Prisoner of Benda” that aired on August 19th, 2010.

Don’t worry if you haven’t watched it, there will be no spoilers here. Well, with the exception of the screenshot above.

The Futurama gang tried to solve a group theory and it does remind me an episode of Stargate SG-1 titled “Holiday” (Season 2 episode 17). The SG-1 team also tried to solve a group theory but with a smaller set of variables.

In the spirit of South Park episode titled “Simpsons Already Did It” (Season 6 Episode 7):

Stargate SG-1 Did It!

Some cast and crew of RENO 911: A XXX Parody are also in the audience.

The RENO 911! cast making colorful commentaries to the parody of their show during the showing of the XXX Parody sans the nudity and sex. Well, they are “dissecting” the acting and the set.

There were some Q&A sessions and RENO 911! props giveaway. Niecy had to leave early because she had a shooting schedule in early morning. Audience members walked home with free copies of the parody DVD.

After the show I talked to Cedric and Carlos while the rest of the cast either gone or busy talking to other people. The last time I saw both of them was back in May at Carlos’ wedding. We are making plan to bring you more updates really soon.

Apple to Hold Press Conference on Friday, calling Moon Landing as a Hoax.

In the mind of many people in the world, July 16th is an important date in the History of the World. It is definitely not about some nobody’s birthday, but it is the launch date for Apollo 11 Mission. The Mission that landed Man on the Moon!

July 16th, 1969
Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins and Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin blasted off the Earth to the Moon.

July 20th, 1969
Neil Armstrong and “Buzz” Aldrin became the first and second human to step on The Moon, respectively.

These Days
Nut jobs still believe that Apollo 11 Mission was a hoax.

July 16th, 2010
Apple to hold a press conference, exposing the truth about Moon Landing Hoax. After all, it would be the one information that will take the attention away from the so called iPhone 4 Antenna Issue.

Futurama pokes fun at Apple with eyePhone.

In the third episode of the new season, Futurama pokes fun at Apple with the eyePhone. Mimicking real life, the episode “Attack of The Killer App” shows:

  • People are lining up to buy the eyePhone.
  • People don’t care if it costs a lot of money.
  • People don’t care if there’s no Carrier choice.
  • People don’t care if the battery doesn’t hold charges.

By the way, Planet Express Crews also figured out that the eyePhone also makes calls.

Other tidbits from the episode:

  • The Real Housewives of Sim City
  • Mentos
  • Twit-worm
  • Spybot
  • Susan Boils that sings show-tunes.
