Blink 182 album to be completed this Summer
Blink 182 front man Tom DeLonge has spoken to the Chicago Tribune saying that the new Blink 182 album would be completed during this summer. In news which will thrill the band's loyal fans, DeLonge confirmed that the band were getting close to completing the long-awaited follow-up to the bands 2003 self-titled release.
Delonge also admitted that if it wasn't for the plane crash that almost killed drummer, Travis Barker, the band would not have reunited. The musician said 'if that accident hadn't have happened, then we wouldn't be in a band, pure and simple. It was fate'.
I guess you don't realise how much you need something, until it is almost taken from you. I am interested to see what the band have come up with.

DJ John Peel's son gets BBC Radio 6 show
The son of the late, great John Peel, Tom Ravenscroft, has been signed up to present a show on BBC Radio 6. People are bound to have large expectation of what Tom will come up with, especially seeing how loved and treasured his father was. For those who don't know, John Peel was BBC Radio 1's longest serving DJ (37 years) and is seen as launching the careers of Nirvana, The Pixes and hundreds more.
Tom will be taking over from, Iron Maiden front man, Bruce Dickenson, who has been with the station the 8 years since it's been launched.
6 Music editor,Paul Rodgers, has praised Tom for his musical knowledge, and feels the new signing will be a good omen for the struggling station.
Good luck to Tom, and I hope it all goes well when he starts his new job on 4th June.

Apple says bye bye to Lala
In December 2009 Apple purchased online music company Lala, and has caused a lot of conspiring in what it plans to do with the utilities the service has. Lala was an online music site, where users could upload music, and stream the songs through various devices. You could also buy songs to download, or buy 'web songs' which you bought for a lower price, but couldn't download to your PC.
This has caused a lot of chatter about itunes opening up a site where you can stream your itunes library from anywhere. This would be useful in that it would see Apple release apps for Android and Windows 7 Mobile phones. Some tech bloggers, have started calling the project 'itunes.com', but ever secretive Apple, doesn't seem to be wanting to give anything away before its annual conference in June. Although it should be mentioned, Lala will shut completely on May 31st, 1 week before the Apple conference in San Francisco.
This is some exciting news for user of the world's most popular media player. It would be great to be able to access my library over the web, but I am cautious that it could mean it could get hacked into.

Team Adobe FTW
Hey there.
Having issues uploading videos on Youtube, hence the reason my Fujifilm review video is not part of this blog. It was supposed to be here, and showing how the video function works, but allas that is going to have to wait another day. So kinda irked abouth that.
Also thanks to the marvelous Jon at Tehkseven (http://www.youtube.com/user/tehkseven ) who, in one of his Phonage vids (sooo good check 'em out) talked a little about novelty cushions. Now this sounds incredibly boring, until you see them.
I mean how cool are these. I'm sure I was not the only person who got EXTREMELY excited over them :P
Okay, maybe I was, but I am geek. I get away with all sorts. The pillows cost $16.99 (£11) each and are from the lovely peoples at CraftSquatch, who speciallise is making geeky pillows. They also are selling Social Networking pillows as well, starring the Myspace logo, facebook, etc. If you are like me, and decide that you MUST HAVE these, then visit their store at http://www.etsy.com/shop/Craftsquatch
Also a news story, which has a rather large importance to me, and many other web developers, is the wonderful Steve Jobs and his anti-Adobe stance. Where the issue stems from is that when Apple released the new iPad, it became apparent that there was going to be NO Flash. For the unitiated, Flash is the software used for videos, games and many other features of your favourite websites. *very simplified analysis of the situation* I have heard people say that this will be the 'end for Adobe Flash'. Which I am hoping is a slight exaggeration, I mean I am just getting to grips with working on Flash. I am hoping that Apple and Mr Jobs, backtrack and do start using Flash again, buuuutt I seriously doubt it. I mean days before Adobe CS5 launched, Mr Jobs issued a statement saying that there was no way that Apple were going to backtrack on the Flash issue.

Also, visit http://techcrunch.com/2010/04/09/adobe-go-screw-yourself-apple-2/ to read about Adobe's response.
It sounds like neither side will give. Adobe should take a leaf out of Apple's book, and just sue them. I mean Apple is sueing just about every smartphone producer for infringing on patents, so why not. As a developer, I do have to side with Adobe. Sorry Apple, I was becoming a wee fan, but you are acting like a spoilt child. So Team Adobe FTW.
Hopefully this stress test for the worlds web developers, will come to an end soon. *crosses fingers*
See ya on the flipside *aka- tomorrow*
