Hello there welcome to Ephman RSS weekly review today is Sunday, January 31 year is 2010. So let's start by talking about what is hot.

Coming in at 41.9°C is Apple's new iPad. And there is a lot of talk in the RSS world, even beyond what Ephman follows about will this iPad from Apple. And the reality of the situation is it's just a bigger version of his crappy iPhone. Except his iPhone has a camera. That's right the iPad has no camera. Also, it doesn't multi-task. That is just CRAZY. So it's almost like a rock. You'd figure something so big would be able to run two programs at the same time. Even Ephman's old i386 could. Oh did he mention that there is no camera? At the same time Steve Jobs spoke about how great it was for surfing the net. The funny thing is that it doesn't have any flash support. NO Adobe flash support. Is Ephman repeating himself? Or is the hype of this iPad just repeating on him? So it's got kind of sucked actually surfing the net, but you could still come to ephman.com on it. The bezel itself is so big that look it's pretty difficult to type on. Looks like you got to leverage it, and put it up on something for you to really be able to type, and really do stuff with it. you know. It's like Ephman said, it's just the a bigger version of the crappy iPhone. It's Apple iPhone grown up. No interest on getting it. But a lot of people extremely excited, and there has been a lot of talk about the crap.

So looks like Google screws Apple on getting Google voice into iPhone. See these RSS reviews, if you follow these videos, you know that it's not always about Google and it's not always about Apple. But this is some interesting information. You know a while back Apple shot Google out of their app store. (aka CRAAP store). Google voice was makes the ability for you to take your email inbox and transcribe into telephone messages. So if someone e-mails you you can get a voicemail message with the email in it, as well as it can also send you an SMS. And you'd be able to handle just one telephone number from your office, your home, your mobile number, in your Google Voice app. What's really cool about Google's super wicked smart folks there is they developed a webpage that you can go to instead of download the app (which no longer exists) http://m.google.com/voice Essentially is the Google voice app so screw you Apple. Google wins that one.

This is a sad story, a very sad and pathetic story. A New York area newspaper called Newsday spent millions and millions of dollars to revamp their website. $4 million in fact to revamp their website to go from an ad type of revenue model to a subscription-based revenue model. And after a bunch of months only 35 people signed up. This is a pretty bad. So talk about somebody who really dropping the ball there.

If you follow this blog Ephman's been talking a bit about Haiti. He did his job and helped out a little bit and obviously as you know Ephman's blog Ephman.com is all about giving away money. All the money that he makes goes to help fight cancer, but little bit has gone to help the people in Haiti. But here's a little more. Prosthetics are something that they're really going to need in the future really need them right now as well. Lots of limbs are being amputated and if you have an extra leg or an extra arm that you might want to donate (not trying to make a joke), or even some money. You go and buy some of these pieces of technology. Go ahead and do so that. Little children could use the help as well as all the adults that have lost a limb.

So let's go on a nicer note. Nerd Boyfriend is cool. What they do is they take a famous photo of somebody. They try to match up as close as possible what they're wearing in the photograph to where online you can buy the clothes. Here is Jack Kerouac and Neal Cassidy. Ephman was really lucky enough one day to meet Carolyn Cassidy the woman who took the picture. You click on Neil's sweatshirt over here. Look only 99 pounds. Somehow Ephman thinks if you can find a simple white sweatshirt for less than 99 pounds but nonetheless, there you go really cool photograph really cool clothes

BMWSauber launched their 2010. Ephman used to be a Sauber fan. Lots of reasons why he is not any longer, but the car itself is pretty good looking. It's now powered by a Ferrari engine it used to be powered by a BMW engine. However, the car is still officially called the BMW Sauber. Go figure will see what happens we'll see if this car actually competes well. Ephman think their main goal is just to get the car on the road at this point. But with lots of manufacturers leaving Formula One, F1 should be happy that at least they've got BMW name their, in spirit.
