The Newsroom Premiere

About 2 hours ago I had no idea what The Newsroom was. When I sat down to watch TV after coming home from work and eating dinner I simply flipped on the tube and it was already on HBO (I think I was watching True Blood before work). After I watched the entire episode I did some searching and came to find it was the series premiere. The opening scene caught my attention and had me glued to the TV for the remainder of the show. I love how they related it to real world events that occurred (BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico) and made the show around that event. The characters were vivid and enticing and I felt like they were right here in the room with me (or maybe I just wanted MacKenzie McHale, played by Emily Mortimer, to be in the room with me - that accent, oh my!). I think it's safe to say I will definitely be watching the show next time it's on, and keeping up with it weekly. I highly recommend this show!

iPhone 5

It's that time of year again when speculations and rumors hit their high point surrounding the newest iPhone model to be unveiled by Apple. After a large hype last year and many people thinking the 2011 release was going to be a new design, this year has built even higher. There is little doubt the new iPhone will be redesigned. Many rumors hint towards a slightly larger screen. I think I can speak for most people and all iPhone enthusiasts when I say a bigger screen is wanted. With the competition releasing larger screened phones, borderline tablets (Galaxy Note), customers want to see a larger iPhone screen. I'm not advocating for a screen as large as the Galaxy Note. Personally I think the Note's screen is too large, but I do believe the iPhone screen could benefit from a larger area.

Some other rumors are listed below;
- New, smaller dock connector
- Different color/finish on the exterior
- HD front-facing camera
- World phone (supporting LTE networks)

Different sources give different release dates for the phone due to different variables. Overall I'm pretty certain you can bet on a September/October release.
