So, iPhone 5 is about to go on sale in the United States in a few hours. Apple is sending emails to everyone in their mailing list and won’t shut up about it. I took a screenshot and obliterated the personal info.

Bring your torches an pitchforks to AT&T, demand unrestricted FaceTime access.
As reported by many GigaOM, Net Neutrality complaint against AT&T is about to be filed with FCC.
From GigaOM:
Free Press, Public Knowledge, and the New America Foundation’s Open Technology Institute have informed AT&T that they intend to file a complaint with the Federal Communications Commission against the wireless carrier for violating network neutrality rules. The complaint will address Ma Bell’s plan to keep certain subscribers from using Apple’s FaceTime video calling on the AT&T cellular network. The move was expected, but the timing on when the FCC responds is unclear.
From Free Press:
WASHINGTON – On Tuesday, Free Press, Public Knowledge, and the New America Foundation’s Open Technology Institute notified AT&T of their intent to file a formal complaint against the company. In the complaint, the three organizations will assert that AT&T is violating Net Neutrality by blocking the popular video-conferencing application FaceTime. The groups will file the complaint with the Federal Communications Commission in the coming weeks. Under the agency’s Open Internet rules, which prohibit companies from blocking such applications on their mobile networks, anyone filing a formal complaint must give at least 10 days’ notice of their intent to file.
With iOS 6, Apple adds the ability to make FaceTime calls over cellular. AT&T told MacRumors that customers are required to subscribe to Mobile Share data plan to use FaceTime over cellular. This certainly does not sit well with AT&T customers with iPhone 4S and soon to be released iPhone 5. As reported by AppleInsider, both Sprint and Verizon will not restrict the use of FaceTime on their network.
It’s time to bring your torches and pitchfork to AT&T. Sign the petition at Free Press.
Yet another reason to ditch AT&T: FaceTime over Cellular restriction.
At time of this post, AT&T will only allow FaceTime over Cellular if customer subscribed to Mobile Share data plans. AT&T is restricting the use of FaceTime over Cellular network unless you pay more. In the mean time, other video communication apps such as Skype are not restricted.
Following the iPhone 5 announcement, Verizon and Sprint will allow FaceTime over Cellular on any data plans. It is time to ditch AT&T and take our business to Verizon or Sprint.
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?
