**** Full Commodore 64 Emulator Rejected From App Store <http://toucharcade.com/2009/06/20/full-commodore-64-emulator-rejected-from-app-store/>
by Touch Arcade

Aside from Apple Europe's early assurance, Lyscarz pointed out to us that there are a number of apps in the App Store that do exactly the same thing from CHIP-8 emulators, programmable calculators and, of course, Frotz, a Z-machine interpreter.

**** It Really Should Have Been Called The iPhone 3G V - For Video <http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TechCrunch/~3/Jv_a9oeEHRM/>
by MG Siegler, TechCrunch

But really, it’s the whole package of the iPhone as an extremely consumer-friendly device mixed with this video functionality that is killer.

**** Steve Jobs' Return Is Still Vaporware <http://www.joewilcox.com/2009/06/steve-jobs-return-is-still-vaporware/>
by Joe Wilcox

Apple is once again up to its media manipulation tactics, or so I allege. Surely I can’t be the only person seeing just how transparent was yesterday’s Wall Street Journal Steve Jobs liver transplant story. The timing, on day of iPhone 3GS launch, helps protect Apple’s share price and deemphasize an important fact: Steve isn’t really coming back this month.

by Anne Eisenberg, New York Times

Now people who shoot impromptu videos on their cellphones and other handheld devices may find some help in stabilizing the rough spots — or in bringing their new baby’s face into focus — before posting their clips online. And it comes from specialized algorithms more common in a forensics lab than on Facebook.

by Doug Glanville, New York Times

Despite living the dream of so many Americans and reaching its highest level, I have no doubt that he would be even prouder of what I am doing with my words. Words that I can leave for my son to read...one day.

**** My Book Launch ... And Some Reflections On Airports <http://mrwangsaysso.blogspot.com/2009/06/my-book-launch-and-some-reflections-on.html>
by Mr Wang Says So

Since Changi Airport had lost, even a very little bit, therefore something - and someone, somewhere - needs to be blamed for the defeat. This time the blame goes to the airport toilets. And also to the management person in charge of the toilets - you can be sure about that. Whoever he is, he can say bye bye to his bonus.

It would indeed be sad if Singapore has unwittingly played itself into the hands of rogue states like North Korea and Myanmar.
