what's up Brian song here we welcome you to the Alpha bite with a big hug from our producer Jamie see that's how we get your attention for all the good and bad inside the world of apple with hugs from cute people all right let's get to the stories and with pre-orders online sold out and slipping a two to three weeks out before they ship the only way to get an ipad on its release date is to get in line with stores officially opening at eight a.m. on friday now AT&T and verizon have also confirmed you'll be able to purchase units from them but what's the fun in only waiting 15 minutes in line and come on you know you want to see this guy now analysts are already predicting that Apple could sell over 1 million units on Friday alone with the iPad new launching in more markets this year a teardown in benchmark tests have revealed a duel 1 gigahertz processor that's the same classes the ipad 2 and an improvement with one gig of ram running geek benches test scored a 756 for the new ipad and that's pretty close to the ipad tues 751 but it's not built to factor in its new graphics performance and if you're wondering how did anyone run tests on the new ipad well the good people at tint a who have been credible before acquired a package ipad new before anyone else and i know you might be thinking oh you're really jealous are you well i'm not special delivery oh what's special coverage what is it what is this look behind you career yeah i know we'll check it out okay so painful scream I think I'm gonna be a little little time with this close the door Jamie thank you for god bless me I say Oh my gosh oh alright i was confused by the scrip oh my god wait it's not what it looks like well the good thing is that none of that actually happens in real life right guys all right now don't forget about the 7 inch iPad which makes no sense to me for Apple to do right now The Korea Times reports an anonymous Samsung executive says Apple is committed to purchasing nine point seven billion dollars worth of components driven by the new ipad macbook airs and get this he said the smaller iPad and they'll be using a new pls based LCD for the baby iPad now didja x is also keeping those rumors alive saying the seven point eight five inch tablet will use a slimmer bezel to maximize the viewing area resulting in your fingers covering the viewable area when you use it now even with all this talk I'm still not buying into the idea that Apple really has to do this right now alright let's take a breather with a few hidden photography tricks that you might not know about for your iPhone the iPhone the latest software it lets you snap a photo using the volume up button it's convenient but what's even cooler about this is that you can plug in your iphone headphones and use the volume up button here to snap a photo as well that means that you get super study shots and you can mount your phone on a tripod and use this as a remote shutter release now let's talk about lighting and focus when you're taking a photo you can tap the screen to set the focus and exposure for any object but when you move around those settings change so to lock those settings tap and hold until the blue box pulsates and this message shows up here now as you move around those settings won't change you might have seen a new grid option on your iPhone's camera tap options turn the grid on and hit done now with this grid you can use something called the rule of thirds some people believe that if you align objects along these horizontal and vertical lines or along these intersections you can create a more pleasing photo so with this flower I'll put it on this intersection tap to focus and now I have a more interesting photo than just placing it in the middle once you take a photo you might want to crop it to change the composition iOS has that tool but here's an even easier way to do it open your photo in the photo gallery and pinch to zoom to change the composition now hold the home button and tap the lock button to take a screenshot now your cropped photo will show up as a new image in your camera roll alright thanks Sheriff for the tips now the iphone 5 rumors are quite right now but we're sure to see them soon with WWDC coming in june see i made a rhyme but the hottest rumors right now are all about apple television set and a new report from a Jefferies analyst claiming there's evidence that an ITV or whatever it's called is in the works with specialty parts and components shipping to apples Asia panel suppliers right now now the report says it will start commercial production in May or June with 225 million units expected to be built and a cue for launch now Apple still isn't any closer with the rumored streaming subscription TV service that they've been pushing with resistance from studios like our own parent company CBS and others according to reports CBS CEO les Moonves turned down a partnership in november when steve jobs offered to split the revenues for the subscription content but the thing we know studios don't like is losing money on you platforms even if they can't create them for themselves and there's a reason why CBS isn't on hulu I'm sorry Apple biters but I just don't expect to see anything like this anytime soon and in an update we told you last week that movies from Fox and universal we're not available for iCloud streaming due to specific agreements with HBO and movie studios now HBO is said that they should be coming to an end within a few weeks and they're working to loosen its arrangements for the Fox Universal content so that's good stuff there and in a nap we're checking out for you road warriors tether has launched their html5 based solution to use your iphones data connection with your pc or mac laptop now it also works with android and blackberry phones and you don't need to download anything from the actual app store but its own service that cost $15 for the first year and thirty dollars feature
