From the creators of the banned iPhone 4 promo and antenna videos, the banned outtakes. It’s NSFW, so save this for later if you’re at the office.
I love these videos, by the way.
Banned iPhone 4 Outtakes
Walt Mossberg’s Six Week Rundown of the iPhone 4
I don’t know why a report like this is still necessary, but Mossberg has written a short article on the performance of his iPhone 4 over the course of six weeks out in the real-world. It doesn’t reveal anything we don’t already know between reception and the dead spot, though I decided to pull this particular piece out as it’s something that’s not often taken into consideration when discussing Apple’s design.
A key reason Apple moved most of the antenna to the outside of the phone was to free up room inside for a larger battery, while keeping the phone thin. In my six weeks of experience, the battery life has been outstanding. I have never run out of battery in a day’s use, despite constant, heavy email traffic, lots of Web surfing and app usage, and frequent checking of social networks.

Here’s What Twitter In Real-Time Looks Like [Video]
Last night Twitter opened up the API for real-time user streams. The first apps to come with this much-requested feature are Tweetdeck and Echofon for Mac, but only if you’re a registered user (Echofon) or have been invited (Tweetdeck).
I have my doubts about this new feature, but I don’t want to judge yet. In the meantime, take a look at the videos showing real-time Twitter on these two apps, courtesy of The Next Web.

Must Have Safari 5.0.1 Extensions
Once you’ve rebooted your Mac into a state of 5.0.1 bliss, you’ve probably navigated to extensions.safari.com to download some of the hottest upgrades available for your speedy browser. Simple one click installs can immediately enhance your online experience, but for those unwilling to download every extension known to Apple, we’ve got a few recommendations.
Don’t forget! Apple’s official gallery is quite small at the moment, so you may want to browse through the official unofficial list at http://safariextensions.tumblr.com/.

First Look: Prizmo for iPhone, Beautiful Mobile OCR App
OCR on the Mac? You gotta be kidding me.
I still can hear those Windows fanboys yelling at me years ago. But when I showed them Prizmo for Mac, they actually shut up. Prizmo by Creaceed is an awesome (yes, awesome) application for Mac OS X that allows you to snap pictures of, say, documents with your digital camera, import them via USB and see the magic happen as the app recognizes text (10 languages are supported), makes a Spotlight-searchable index, adjusts the picture’s brightness and perspective, too. It is indeed magic.
Prizmo is coming to the iPhone, and if you think about the new iPhone camera…that’s a new app on my waiting list.
