Day 17

Fresh Start_17: iPhone 7 News Review 
If you didn’t know, yesterday was the day that apple announced the all new iPhone. 2016’s version will be the 7 and oh man has it changed. Of course the Operating Software (OS) will be different with iOS 10, but it also includes a better camera that offers better low light photos. As usually apple has made the battery life longer, which they do every year to try and compete with Samsung. This battery is twice as iPhone 6 and the longest battery life in an iPhone. On the 7 Plus, apple is offering a duel camera set up as a sort of bonus. The speaker system has also changed, added now a two speaker—stereo setup that is two times louder than the 6s. For the first time ever apple is offering a water resistant phone; which will be a huge selling point. As a cheap add-in apple is bringing back the color black instead of “space grey”, while also added “jet black” as an option. Finally, and probably the biggest news of all the headphones are changing in a HUGE way. Apple introduced “Airpods” which are wireless earbuds that connect via Bluetooth. But before, you click off the page in anger, they are also offering the same old earbuds that they have also had, but there’s a catch. These earbuds will now have a lighting connecter at the end (iPhone’s charger cable) with a headphone jack adapter for sale.
Now, let me get to my opinion on all of this. I have recently switched from a Galaxy s5 to an iPhone 6s this past summer. Let me tell you thank god I got the 6s instead of the 7. Mostly because I will end up losing the “Airpods” within days of having that phone. Not only that but I think it is cheap of apple to change the wired earbuds to get a quick buck. I know that apple has done this before changing the charger from the orginal iPod charger to the lighting cable. That however, doesn’t make it any less frustrating as a consumer. Yes, apple is a business first and they need to make money, but too much change is scary. The water resistant feature is an “ABOUT TIME!” moment for long time iPhone users, not to mention an important selling point keeping up with Samsung. Pair that with the longer battery, low-light camera, and duel speaker and you have a HTC One; which is a phone that was made in March of 2013. The reason I compare the iPhone 7 to the HTC One is because it basically is the same phone, the only differences being: there is a longer battery, slightly better camera, and of course it has an apple logo on it. Overall I give this announcement for apple a giant “Welcome to the 21st Century award” as the company is finally awoken from the Steve Jobs era.

2024 MLB Preview

  Opening Day is about 24 hours away and the Shohei Ohtani gambling story has stole all the headlines and fleeting moments of baseball conversation over the past few days, many have now forgotten about the exciting marathon ahead of us! Even with the ever-evolving Ohtani story clouding the beginning of the Los Angeles Dodgers season, that doesn’t change the fact that L.A. is still the team to beat in baseball. The Dodgers have put their chips at the center of the table, no pun intended, for 2024 to show they can raise another World Series trophy after sending upwards of a billion dollars in free agency. In division however, the surprise Arizona Diamondbacks are capitalizing on their newfound championship window with a fantastic offseason that will have them in the mix to get back to a second straight fall classic. The San Diego Padres are done shopping for superstars, sort of, following a massively disappointing season that saw them move on from one of the games generational talent...

Dan Hurley Saved College Basketball

When you think of Men’s College Basketball, the names of Wooden, Dean, Krzyzewski, Williams, Thompson, and Calipari shoot to mind right away. All the memories of the great teams from UCLA, Duke, North Carolina, Kentucky, the Big East, UNLV, and even the Fab Five start to rush back. Nostalgia of a time when the sport meant something different. For all those longing for the days when great teams didn’t dissipate into the transfer portal after one disappointing year—Dan Hurley and the Connecticut Huskies are here to save the day! UConn has done something that only seven other programs have done in the history of college basketball, repeat as champions. Forget all the talk about “best team of all-time,” even though if you look at point differential (like it truly matters), this UConn team is the best team to ever play in the NCAA Tournament. This team means much more to the game of college basketball than that. Coach Hurley has given college basketball what it has been missing since the in...

Last Year the Season was one game long, it's different this year

  It took 363 days, but Jets fans finally got the debut from Aaron Rodgers they waited for. This time around that debut ended in a blowout loss on the road to the San Francisco 49’ers. Last year the Jets won the battle but lost the war following their overtime walk-off win against the Buffalo Bills. This year, the Jets hope they lost the battle but because they have Rodgers they will win the war.   Of all the ways the game could have gone last night, having the Jets defense get thoroughly dominated on the ground by a third year running back, Jordan Mason, who wasn’t a household name until last night, wasn’t on the bingo card. The trademark for Robert Saleh has been his defense. That’s what got him hired from San Francisco. The defense is what Jet fans have pointed to as a reason for optimism heading into this year with Rodgers. The defense was finally supposed to get the complimentary football they have been dying for since Robert Saleh walked in the doors at Florham Park...
