Pool wizard who’s still in diapers

Pool or Billards, little Keith Jr’s not fussed which game he plays, as long as he plays.

He’s only 23 months old – but just watch him sink the balls.

Now, if you’re doubting what you’re seeing, according to NYDailyNews, he was even invited to perform at the American Pool Association’s championship.

His proud parents say he’s not only learning pool, but also his colours and how to count. 

Cute! :)

Apple: Hands on learning, product previews, software launches

- all the usual things that Apple developers and fans wait with bated breath for…

Apple has been confirmed this year’s Developers Conference (Apple WWDC09) will be held 8-12 June.

Over 1,000 Apple engineers will be at Moscone West to present the latest Apple technologies and provide you with code-level guidance. You’ll learn how to harness the power of iPhone OS, Mac OS X Snow Leopard, and Mac OS X Server Snow Leopard in the most efficient and sophisticated way possible — saving you time and accelerating your development.

Gossip & expectations for WWDC09

It is rumoured that iPhone OS 3.0 will be a highlight (currently in Beta) and possibly the next generation iPhone.  Or as seems more customary, announcing the new iPhone to be released in July.

Equally talked about is what they might name it – iPhone HD (following rumours of it being HD)? continue with iPhone 3G, 3G iPhone (as in 3rd gen iPhone)?  Check out some of these suggestions (compliments of The iPhone Blog).

But what other gems will Apple have up their sleeves for WWD09?  The net is abuzz with rumours… Like,

• Apple improving their iPhone & iPod range cameras (it’d be about time) and adding video recording
• The return – or the departure – of CEO, Steve Jobs (contradictary rumours are the best)
• Mac OS X: Snow Leopard

With the Microsoft Zune HD being released, surely Apple would be close on the tails of that?

Guess it’s just wait and see.

Once the dust has settled and Apple launches all / any new gadgets, you’ll be able to find out more about where to buy them:

Warning about insurance fraud

Check out our post on iPhone & Smartphone insurance fraud.

Use your commonsence when buying a second hand mobile phone – and any other similar items for that matter.

(Another similar situation I’ve personally heard of was a friend buying a second hand mobile on eBay, and then being contacted by the Police for using it – as it was stolen)

The world is full of sharks!
