New rumors suggest Apple will bring ou three new iPhone models this year, includin one dubbed the "iPhone Math," tech sites say. Brightwire.com, translating stories from the China Times and Taiwan-based Commercial Times, said the iPhone Math would feature a 4.8-inch screen and an 8-megapixel camera. Brightwire could offer no explanation for the odd moniker, especially since all previous and current iPhones have model names consisting of just numbers and letters, such as the iPhone 3G and the iPhone 5. If Apple does indeed release three separate iPhones, it will be a significant departure of its practice of unveiling just one high-end smartphone each year, PC Magazine reported. Also, Apple has moved to waiting until fall before unveiling its newest smartphone, reserving earlier announcements for its Mac computers and latest…

Former San Jose State University football player Kariem McFarlin was sentenced this week to seven years in state prison for burglarizing several Bay Area homes, including one that belonged to the late Apple cofounder Steve Jobs. McFarlin, 35, pleaded no contest Nov. 21 to eight felony counts of residential burglary and one felony count of selling stolen property. The Alameda resident could have faced up to 16 years and four months, but Santa Clara County Superior Court Judge Thang Nguyen Barrett agreed to cap his maximum sentence at seven years and eight months in exchange for the plea. McFarlin could end up serving just half of his seven-year sentence, said Deputy District Attorney Thomas Flattery. Every day Kariem McFarlin, left, talks with his attorney James Kellenberger in the courtroom at…

Genre: Drama Released: Jan 31, 2013 Price: Free 97 Ratings View in iTunes Preview It's not often that new TV series come from fresh and new ideas, as after all these years, most good ideas have been used up. Do No Harm, a new drama premiering on NBC is definitely a new idea, or at least a new combined take on a few other series. It's part Marcus Welby, M.D. and part Quantum Leap. Make no mistake, though; Dr. Jason Cole is more Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde than Dr. Welby or Sam Beckett. Dr. Cole is a very successful neurosurgeon with some strange habits no one else can understand. He only allows himself to perform surgery between 8:25 AM and 8:25 PM. He explains it away by saying he…

NOTES FROM THE UNDERGROUND HOLLYWOOD UNDEAD Genre: Rock / Hip-Hop Released: Jan 8, 2013 By: Octone Records 15 Songs Price: $13.99 2234 Ratings View in iTunes Preview Hollywood Undead has gone through some cosmetic changes in the last year. The sinister six look is as menacing as ever with some artistically-motivated updates to their trademark masks. These visual upgrades come hot on the heels of the group's latest tour in which they spent most of their time promoting their sophomore album, "American Tragedy." It's speculated that this sudden change in appearance is to celebrate the group's return to the studio and the recent release of their third collection, "Notes From the Underground." But new threads doesn't equate to a new sound. Hollywood Undead is just as vocally powerful and instrumentally…

When we heard Apple (AAPL) was looking for someone to spice up the virtual personality of Siri, the iPhone's virtual personal assistant, we decided to go straight to the virtual source. Here's what Siri had to say. Me: Hi Siri, how are you doing? Siri: Very well, thank you! Me: Have you heard about the new job posting over at Apple? They're looking to hire a creative writer who can help spice up your personality. It was first reported on the 9to5Mac blog and the news has spread like wildfire. What do you think of that? Siri: Fascinating, Captain. Me: It's not that we find you shallow or boring, although sometimes you do tend to get a bit lazy and cynical and even grouchy with some of your replies to…

THE TECHNOLOGY INDUSTRY MIXES WITH THE FASHION WORLD Technology has become our most latest accessory, meaning it needs to fit the bill of having great form while serving a function, as well as being fashionable in the process. This stands whether the device is owned by a man or a woman. Everyone now expects our technology to fulfill all of those needs. If it doesn't, then we're not going to spend the money. Our iPhones and iPads are out at all times, especially our iPhones. It's one of the greatest devices of our generation, and part of that has always been the aesthetics of the product itself. It doesn't look like a phone. It looks more like a great technology piece. Consequently, other brands of phones now resemble iPhones as…

Have you ever opened your e-mail and found a correspondence that appeared to come from your bank, credit card company, online retailer, etc. and directed you to click an attached link in order to provide sensitive information like passwords, social security numbers or account information, often with the explanation that it was to "confirm" your status as a customer or repair a grave monetary error? Or how many times have you discovered a message from an unknown sender imploring your help in retrieving lost treasures from remote locations by providing your bank information so that "deposits" could be transferred into your account? Most regular e-mail users are by now familiar with these and many other acts of deception, commonly known as "phishing"— online cons that rely on naivety, greed or…

TWENTY ONE PILOTS Genre: Pop-Alternative Released: Jan 4, 2013 By: Fueled by Ramen 12 Songs Price: $9.99 625 Ratings View in iTunes Preview This week we put the spotlight on a brand new band. More precisely, a duo that's been slowly infiltrating the world of pop-alternative for the past few years. Twenty One Pilots has been around since 2010, but their prior EPs and releases were all done on their own accord without the assistance of a label. "Vessel" is Twenty One Pilot's debut album (under the label Fueled by Ramen). The duo managed to crank out two prior albums, "Regional at Best" and a a self-titled album, and it's quite possible that the minor success of these self-released collections is what spurred a label to finally pick them up.…

As smartphone users consume more and more mobile data, wireless providers may be unable to keep up with the demand, a report by a U.S. research firm indicates. Owners of iPhone, Android or Windows Phone smartphone devices have consumed 35 times more mobile data than a typical cellphone user, an annual report by Deloitte said. The growing rate of data consumption could see a 50-fold growth in wireless traffic by 2016, it said. The likely outcome will be a slowdown in data speeds and connection problems, mostly felt in cities, on networks with the most subscribers and in peak wireless hours, Deloitte said. Users could see two to three times as many failed attempts to connect, three to four times as many dropped calls or frozen web browsing, and both…

Wall Street is worried that Apple's rotten quarter is about to get worse. With the stock down 30 percent in little more than three months, investors fret that the former tech darling will post a miss when it releases results later this week. Apple's stock has fallen as low as $498.51 from a high of $702.10 in September, wiping out some $200 billion in market value. If Apple's earnings for the crucial holiday quarter come up short on Wednesday, the shares could fall even lower. “The size of the miss will mean the difference between a $400 and a $600 stock," said analyst Trip Chowdhry of Global Equities Research. “There are a lot of people who think Apple is a broken stock." Cracks are starting to show at the once…

Genre: Comedy Released: Jan 17, 2013 Price: $34.99 7 Ratings View in iTunes Preview It was hard to tell where Charlie Sheen's career was headed after all his troubles a few years back. Off the series Two and a Half Men and replaced by Ashton Kutcher, Sheen's life seemed to get more bizarre with crazy outbursts and several arrests. It can't be irony that just after that he became the star of the series Anger Management based on the 2003 Jack Nicholson/Adam Sandier film. In the series, Sheen stars as a former minor-league baseball player who is now an anger management therapist. He nearly beats up his ex-wife's boyfriend with a lamp, then decides he needs more therapy for himself. His best friend Kate is the only therapist he trusts.…

Years ago, I worked in a local video rental store. When I first joined, things were great. I live in a ski town, a premier spot for tourist traffic, and I remember being really busy for most of the day. It was a very fun job, too, suggesting movies and ordering new releases. I worked there for a couple years, and unfortunately as time went on, I noticed the traffic begin to dwindle substantially. One day, it pretty much stopped. I assumed that maybe tourists just weren't traveling as much anymore. Maybe high gas prices and a combination of low wages caused a lot of people to stay at home. It wouldn't be until a few months after the store shut down completely that I would find out what really…

NEW YORK - For many investors, Apple's best days are behind it. Competitors are catching up, they believe, and the latest iPhone is stumbling. The company's doubters have backed their conviction with billions of dollars. Last week, the stock fell below $500 for the first time in 11 months. Since Apple's stock peaked at $705.07 on Sept. 21 -the day of the iPhone 5's release- it has fallen nearly 30 percent, cutting Apple's market capitalization by nearly $200 billion. On Wednesday, Apple -still the world's most valuable public company- gets a chance to rebut the skeptics as it reports financial results for the holiday quarter. But the report could also end up confirming beliefs that the company is losing its edge as an arbiter of innovation and a pacesetter in…
