It’s been a short wait since Apple released iOS 4.3.1, but because a lot of people have been experiencing issues with frozen FaceTime calls and 3G connection issues on the iPad, here’s your fix. The iOS 4.3.2 update fixes connection issues on GSM (AT&T) iOS devices, which includes the international version of the iPad. Everyone on Verizon also gets an update to iOS 4.2.7.
Before anything else, remember that this post is about a quick clip that was showed on Conan last week. And the quote above shouldn’t be taken seriously. It’s Conan, people! Anyway, check out the video where they spoof the usual intro video that Apple does when introducing a new product. Basically, the message is: it doesn’t matter what they say. You’ll buy it anyway. Actually they’re partly correct on that one, since the thing can sell itself. If Steve Jobs said “screw it, we don’t need to hold an event for this one,” we’re pretty sure a lot of people would still line up for it. But the part where the one dude mentioned that they added “two holes with cheap cameras in them,” that was priceless. That part actually borders a bit on fact, but we never planned to buy the iPad 2 for the camera anyway. Did you? Video after the break.
Never thought you’d hear (or in this case, read) that sentence in your life, did you? Well, it’s true anyway. Here’s a 10-minute video of a guy an idiot who, for some reason unknown to us, decided to cover a working PSP in batter, deep-fry it – essentially ruining a perfectly working handheld console – and then eat it. Or at least try to. At around the 9-minute mark, he’s still gagging. Yeah, it made us squirm. Not because of the potential dangers of ingesting burned plastic, metals and battery acids, but… you know, it’s a waste of PSP. Somebody tell these guys that Jackass is so 2002. You’ve probably seen worse, but if you were looking for idiotic videos on YouTube, here’s an effective way to waste 10 minutes of your life. Video after the break.
Thanks to last year’s successful trials where they streamed live Indian Premiere League cricket matches (they got 55 million views from more than 250 countries), Google plans to stream more live sports soon. According to this report, Google is talking with the National Basketball Association and the National Hockey League, as well as soccer leagues in Europe. Not that we don’t already spend more than enough time on YouTube, but if they ever pull through, that’s good news for sports fans like us who hate having to stand up from the computer desk just to turn on the TV.
Yahoo just put out word that they won’t be accepting video uploads to Yahoo Video from users anymore. Not that a lot of people would mind since it looks like most people are more likely to use good old YouTube and Vimeo anyway. Yahoo didn’t give any reasons for the move, but if you’ve got videos on their servers, you’re going to have to pull them out before March 15. If, for some reason you do have a user-generated video you want to download from Yahoo Video, you can do so using a software utility on your profile page, along with a suggestion to upload them to Flickr. Yahoo’s message after the break.
