The iPhone 5 Rumor Mill Kicks Into High Gear
Now that Apple has unveiled iOS 5, the media frenzy surrounding the next version of the iPhone is back with a vengeance.
We've written extensively about the yet-to-be-announced device already (proof here, here, here, here, here and here), but we're not the only ones. There's a cult-like fascination with Apple product rumors, and that fascination turns into an obsession when it comes to iPhones.
This week's flurry of iPhone rumors started with a Boy Genius Report story claiming that the iPhone 5 will be a radical departure from the iPhone 4. BGR's source told the publication to "expect a radical new case design for the upcoming iPhone" and that an event to announce the device could come in August.
This report is a departure from the intelligence we've gathered thus far on the device. We've been told to expect something that looks similar to the iPhone 4 but faster (thanks to the Apple A5 processor) and with a better camera. We're not the only media outlet that was skeptical of BGR's report.
It didn't take long until Bloomberg decided to publish a report of its own on the iPhone 5, complete with its own set of anonymous source. According to its sources, the iPhone 5 will be introduced in September, have an 8-megapixel camera and include the A5 processor. Bloomberg says that the September release date is meant to coincide with the release of iOS 5.
To put the cherry on top though, Bloomberg also added some juicy tidbits about the iPad 3. Specifically, the news outlet reports that the next-generation tablet will have a one-third higher screen resolution and a "more responsive touchscreen." Bloomberg also resurfaced old rumors of a cheaper version of the iPhone.
While we think Bloomberg's report is accurate, we want to stress this point: Only Steve Jobs knows what Apple is planning to do next. Besides, these reports fail to address rumors about the next iPhone having a brushed metal back, NFC technology or a wider screen. We're much more interested in finding out more about those rumors.
Don't expect the iPhone 5 rumor mill to to quiet down anytime soon; it's just getting started.

Loki: work in progress fragments
Various fragments and bits of tests for an animation I'm working on. Nothing's finished and it's all a bit rough around the edges. I took a break for February, but I'm intending to start back in to it for March.

I had thought that interlude would be the end of speedwork in my pregnancy. But 1. I have come to realize that my hip was the biggest factor in that pain. 2. I finished the book Graviditet og Motion by Bente Klarlund Pedersen
So my focus is now on finding a remedy for my left hip, which has been bothering me since 50 k I ran in the relay at the end beginning of June. And I was feeling a bit desperate since the Voyageur 50 miler is this Saturday. I discussed things with my friend and yoga instructor. She suggested I see my doctor, and I told her my doctor wouldn't have any helpful suggestions, except to rest, which would of course be helpful, but anyway, I went to an acupuncturist. I am a huge fan of acupuncture and used to receive it from a good friend for free about every month for a debilitating heart burn when I was living in France. Acupuncture works amazingly well as a painkiller for about 2 weeks, or at least that's my experience. So I went to The Nordic Center for Chinese Medicine in Naestved, which SR affectionately refers to as "the seediest place on the planet". I told the "doctor" about my hip and being pregnant, only to find out she was an MD, PhD who did a study at The London School of Tropical Medicine about using a woman's birth date to determine which organ was weakest and giving more strength to that organ through acupuncture and thus hopefully preventing miscarriage. I suddenly felt extremely Western. WHAT was that about birth date? Anyway, she gave me special acupuncture for the pregnant woman, which helped my hip, but also helped my kidneys. I do not know why kidneys are the pregnancy organ in Chinese medicine. Well, anyway, it worked!
I have had no pain in my hip in my last two runs: a one hour and a two hour run, where I shocked myself with my speed and energy. Though I can tell that something is still out of line as my left knee is now bothering me instead. It is as if that hip muscle is still pulling but I can't feel it. SR went on to make fun of me for believing this woman was an MD. Oh, well. I'll take the Nordic center of Chinese Medicine for my hip pain any day.
Oh, yeah, we're on the plane on the way to the US right now for our 2 ½ week vacation.

That's according to an Associated Press analysis of a securities filing made Friday.
The company also cited Iger's leadership in the acquisition of "Star Wars" creator Lucasfilm, which closed in December.
In the fiscal year through Sept. 29, shares of The Walt Disney Co. rose 73 percent.
The Associated Press formula considers salary, bonuses, perks, stock and options awarded to the executive during the year, but not changes in the present value of pension benefits.
That makes the AP total slightly different in most cases from the total reported by companies to the Securities and Exchange Commission. – Sapa-AP

Undoubtedly one of the weirdest BMWs the world has ever seen, this one of one 1969 BMW "Spicup" Convertible Coupé sold last week for €460,000 ($615,986) as part of Bonham's auction at the BMW Museum.
Based on a BMW 2500 sedan, this strange creation was the result of a collaboration between Italian design house Bertone and BMW. The name Spicup actually comes from a mixture of Spider and Coupe.
This odd Bimmer was initially shown at the Geneva Motor Show in 1969 where it was extremely out of place amongst the other significantly more conservative vehicles being offered by BMW at the time. After the show it was sold to a Dutch car dealer and eventually put into use as a daily driver. The car covered more than 60,000 miles during this period in time, which is a surprisingly significant amount of use for a one off show car.
The "Spicup" was thought to have been lost until it was rediscovered in a barn in 2008. The car was subsequently treated to a full frame off restoration returning it to the immaculate condition seen here. Although it isn't the most well known vehicle BMW ever created, this one off show car is certainly one of the most interesting. We're guessing whoever paid over $615,000 for it last week agrees.
