I previously posted a link to the RocketryPlanet.com story about Steve Eves and his giant 36 foot tall model of the Saturn V rocket that took us to the moon.

As you can see from the above video, the April 25th launch went off perfectly. You can read more about the launch celebrating the 40th anniversary of Apollo 11 at Ars Technica.

Should Apple Continue to Advertise Apps?

There seems to be some debate going on over Apple’s iPhone more recent commercials. Some critics, such as Macworld’s David Chartier believe that Apple should go back to advertising the core iPhone features, while Dan Moren believes that apps are what generate the most iPhone buzz.

Personally, I agree with Dan Moren. While the iPhone is a great piece of hardware with a slick interface, I’ve found that the user experience is most served with the rich supply of apps available. The tag line of “There’s an app for that” is simple, but also effective because it’s true.

Sure, the competition are putting in place their own app stores, but I think that the rich world of iPhone apps will always be the biggest draw to the platform for consumers.

I loved The Dark Knight, but this YouTube spoof of the Joker’s interrogation scene perfectly skewers one of the most laughable parts of the film: Christian Bale’s Batman voice.
