Things to know about helping Haiti.
Watch out for scams. Don’t open any email asking for help or donations for Haiti. If you want to donate go to a website like the Red Cross, The Salvation Army or UNICEF. Here are a couple reports about Online Charity scams.

Space JunkWe are begin invaded!!! Nasa doesn’t know what is going to fly by the Earth on Wednesday, but I think its aliens doing a fly-by. Their just checking us out and getting ready for 2012.

Astronomers say it may be space junk or it could be a tiny asteroid, too small to cause damage even if it hit. It’s 33 to 50 feet wide at most.

Check out Yahoo for the full story

OK EVGA published an image on their TwitPic account today of a new motherboard that supports 2 Intel Core i7 Processors. This is the motherboard that I have been waiting for. I just hope it doesn’t cost a thousand bucks. We will have to wait until CES to get more information about this motherboard. CES starts January 7th and runs until January 10 2010.

OK first thing I need to say is watch the whole video first.

Yes that is a real TV and real video on the screen. Now this would be awesome for video games and certain computer programs. I agree with Johnny Lee, we need some game made with this software.

MacRumors.com is reporting that Apple has applied for a patent for 3D computer displays. Back in 1995 Apple built a similar system called Hyper Reality display. The demo is amazing enough now just imagine what it could with a little fine tuning.

UPDATE: You can see more demos of this on Johnny Lee’s Website or @ http://procrastineering.com

Are you having problems updating your iPhone apps?

Is the iPhone App Store having update problems? It seems that some people including me are having issues updating there apps either through iTunes or on the iPhone.  Here is the problem: The app downloads and installs on the iphone. Then the app store still shows that you have an app to update. Once you click on the App store it shows you the app you just installed. If you use iTunes the same thing happens, it just downloads and then shows you that you have an app thats need to be updated. If you check the version of the app is it still the old version. It seems that the previous version is being downloaded and installed. This is affecting both Macs and Windows version of iTunes.

There are posts on Apple Discussion forum and MacRumors Forum. If you are having the same problem let me know, either in the comments or on Twitter.
