With everyone wondering what Apple will reveal about the next-generation iPhone at the Worldwide Developers Conference on Monday, there is debate over whether the new iPhone will feature some sort of video messaging, with perhaps a video camera lens on the face of the iPhone.
Apple may be working on video messaging, giving users the ability to send short clips to each other. Think YouTube, delivered.
— Scott Moritz
An iPhone with video messaging capability might have a lens on the face, and use the 3G chipset to send the video.
Some blogs question the usefulness of such a feature, but I can think of situations where people would like to send video clips. Here are three:
-
While traveling.
From 3,000 miles away, I could send a video message like “Hey Dad, check out this view. You would love this place.”
-
While shopping.
Imagine your partner sends you a video message from a fitting room. “Which of these looks better on me?”
-
On the road.
e.g. a video message from you to a friend: “I can’t find the place. Is this the neighborhood?”
If Apple introduced video messaging on iPhone, they would set a new precedent for the future of mobile phones.
Would you video message?
Is video messaging pointless? Or does it add an appreciable intimacy to our digital interactions?
When would you use video messaging if it were on your iPhone?
I would love to hear your opinion in the comments.
P.S. I will add needed links later. This post was written on my iPhone. Shame on Apple for leaving out a copy/paste function. Blogging on the iPhone is hard work!

Hi!
Proudly presenting you the new beta of
Installer -
4.0b6.
New and changed:
- Search. It searches among packages from the repositories you have added, and, if you let it sit for 5 seconds, will query our server and return packages that are available from repositories you don't have added (that we know about) with an option to automatically add and install. Repository owners, upgrade to the latest version of the repo code (below) to have your repository added to the search engine.
- Uninstall now works correctly.
- Fixed a lot of locking issues especially with custom HTML info pages.
- Updated the Categories and Tasks icons so they are less ugly.
- Fixed a bug with multiple copies of Installer appearing in Installed Packages under some circumstances.
- Installer will now correctly check and prompt for an update of itself.
Also, to accompany the Installer release, a new edition of the Repository code is up. Grab it here:
repo-r1114.zipWhat's new in the repo code?
- Added an option to ping the Installer search server so it reindexes your repository. The ping occurs during regenerate.php run.
- Much better handling of ZIP archives, since this is what most people had troubles with. It now attempts to determine which way to use to unzip your files (PEAR::ZipArchive, zip_open or shell_exec("unzip")). Please note that we didn't test zip_open piece of the code as we don't have a server with that plugin compiled in PHP.
- DOMDocument::load() should work under PHP4. We hope.
- Slightly better handling of the multiple versions of the same package.
How to upgrade? Simply replace regenerate.php with the new one, and add new configuration parameters from config.inc.default.php to your config.inc.php. There are two: REPOSITORY_URL, that should have a full path to your repo (with a trailing slash), and ZIP_CMDLINE_PATH (only add this if needed). Refer to config.inc.default.php for the descriptions and copy-paste goodness.
Don't forget to regenerate your repositories once upgraded, and also don't forget to put 2.0.2 into POSSIBLE_FIRMWARE_VERSIONS array so people on the new firmware can see your packages!
Thanks. :)

With the release of a new Ubuntu (Linux for human beings) distribution, Karmic Koala, we felt it was time to go back to the roots and beyond. This guide that’s both great for Linux initiates, and Linux intermediates. Over 50 pages of cool copy-paste tutorials and hacks, it belongs in the virtual library of every Linux user!
