You get a crossfadar which balances the two tracks and you have separate controls for the volume, speed, pause and play etc. Each track will be represented by different images so no fear of getting them confused, you also have a different color for the base helping you to control the sound more smoothly. You then can just work away and get whatever sound and style you wish to hear, there are tons of different effects and sounds you can use so search and have fun.

Can you believe that a group of thieves decide to seal iphones. The amount of the stolen gadget was worth 2 million euro. The incident happened in Belgium.
Local reports from De Standaard and Gazet van Antwerpen vary on whether it was 3,000 or 4,000 iPhones stolen, but at a worth of 575 to 675 euros each, the market value is said to be around 2 million euros, or $3 million U.S. The handsets were allegedly stolen from a Netherlands-based logistics company CEVA Logistics in Willebroek.

According to reports, the thieves climbed a fire ladder to get on the roof of the warehouses where the phones were being held. They then cut a hole into the roof, directly over where the iPhones were located.

From apple insider reports:

“Reports suggest the detail and precision of the theft implies someone had inside knowledge of the delivery and location of the iPhones. Officials with Ceva declined to comment on the theft, but were said to be “seriously annoyed by the intrusion,” according to Google Translate.

The theft is apparently an issue for wireless carrier Mobistar, which has reportedly had trouble keeping the iPhone 3G and low-end iPhone 3GS in stock. Officials with the wireless provider contacted their supplier and expect to have a new stock of phones within days, but the company is anxious to resupply before their existing inventory runs out.

Because the serial numbers on the stolen phones are known, Mobsistar officials said they can block the handsets from accessing their network. Police are said to be looking into the matter, but currently have no leads.”

Ever wonder how pretty you are or how ugly you might be?Well I phone has an application which allows you to experiment and see the diference if your Fit or Fugly. Honestly it can be harsh.

From Iphone hacks.

“If you have always been curious to know how attractive you actually look, here is an iPhone app that might be able to finally declare whether you are attractive or not.

Developed by teenage iPhone app developer Ed Nash, the iPhone app ‘Fit or Fugly‘ measures attractiveness based on the premise that it is a factor directly related to the symmetry of the face. With help from Fibonacci Golden ratio principles, the app calculates the symmetry of the face and hence tells you whether you are ‘fit’ or ‘fugly’.

To use the app, one needs to upload a picture and mark the key anchor points like the nose, eyes, ears, mouth and chin and then the app would calculate how symmetric your face is. But here’s the problem – Your facial symmetry as measured by the app gets distorted with even a slight tilt of the face towards the left or right. This means that a smashing side pose of yours would return a fugly rating while the nerdy looking front pose could be labelled fit.

Anyway, this app is meant to be more for fun rather than any scientific analysis and we think it does a good job on this aspect. Emphasizing on the entertainment value of the app, Ed Nash says

“The app itself is seriously funny and I really am expecting it to be a chart topper, certainly in the entertainment category. It is the first of its kind and uses some of the iPhone’s best features to give you an amazingly enjoyable experience which costs as little as a can of coke”

The iPhone app is available for $0.99 and you may purchase it from the App Store by clicking on this link. Please don’t forget to tell us how you find the app – fit or fugly.”

Mac World announces the new application.

“On Thursday the companies announced that, effective immediately, several comics from Marvel Comics will be available for purchase via in-app purchase from the free Comics app.

The Marvel comics available initially from Comixology are Joss Whedon’s 24-issue run on Astonishing X-Men, Robert Kirkman’s five-issue Marvel Zombies miniseries, Ed Brubaker’s first 30 issues of Captain America, and two other X-Men-related books, X-23 and X-Men: Age of Apocalypse, each six issues long.

Each individual issue is priced at $2 on Comics and iVerse, and $1 on Panelfly. (Presumably Panelfly is running a special sale or taking a loss on the sales as a way to promote the Marvel additions.)

This isn’t Marvel’s only foray into the world of the iPhone. The company recently launched two “motion comics” sold directly via iTunes: Spider-Woman and an adaptation of Whedon’s Astonishing X-Men.”
