NBC and Apple are offering some free content for your pleasure. The one that caught my eye was a free High Definition version of 30 Rock. If you want to check out the HD quality, here is a direct link. Be sure to click the 'FREE EPISODE' button.

When you get an HD version, they also include a standard def specifically sized for fitting on your iPod, iPhone, or iPod Touch.

Apple has sent the invitations for their September 9th event.

My Predictions:

- iTunes Subscription service. I wish it would be $9.95, but knowing Apple, I foresee it becoming $19.95 a month. Yes, I'll probably subscribe.

- Firmware updates for iPhone and iPods to support this. Minor new features. Maybe a copy/paste.

- iTunes 8 released. Still won't be a Cocoa app. READ MORE »

Pretty interesting stuff. Before I read this, I always used what I thought was going to render the best... even if it took days on my iMac.

Well folks, I finally bought an iPhone. I'm loving it. I started my second semester of grad school this week and about half way through, realized I could really use some digital assistance. So, I'll end up paying Sprint some money but after using Mobile Me to sync a bunch of new contacts, to two Macs and the iPhone, I was totally sold. I think it's well worth the $99 price, to be able to sync the tiny details of my life.

So far my favorite apps from the apps store are: WhitePages, Enigmo, Checklist and UrbanSpoon. There are so many more I hope to try though. Feel free to post your favorites in the comments. I'd love to hear what apps everyone likes. READ MORE »

Thanks to Cindy for sending this in.
