it's Friday July 16th I'm Natali del Conte and it's time to get loaded Apple's announcement about iPhone 4 it's later today but Apple already released an update to iPhone it is iOS 4.1 it claims to improve the reporting of how much reception you have on your phone if you want to follow along with Apple's event we will of course have a live blog for you at news.com and Amazon is being sued by Discovery Communications discovery claims that Amazon infringed patents having to do with eBook delivery on the Kindle discovery said the patents in question were obtained in 1999 and 2007 and do not click on a video in facebook promising you the truth about coca-cola it is the latest facebook scam looking for the truth about you namely your personal information the message accompanying the video claims to have discovered something horrific about Coke it asks you to share the video and then your personal info don't do it and the newest version of Ford's Sync now recognizes over 10,000 commands Ford Sync is the in-car navigation calling an entertainment system the new MyFord Touch system will come in the 2011 Ford Edge it will be able to recognize commands like call mom or directions to Starbucks or increase temp and Firefox released an iPhone app it isn't really a competing browser instead it lets you keep track of where you were on your browser on your PC from your mobile device it's called Firefox home for iPod Touch or iPhone it gives you your desktop history bookmarks and open tabs on iPhone if you install the Firefox plug-in you can then open those sites on your iPhone either from within the app or on mobile safari and finally the UK government launched a scary layer on Google Earth it demonstrates what will happen if carbon emissions are not curbed it shows the Earth's temperature rising leading to things like drought instability and violence it is not a feel-good thing but hopefully it's enough to motivate us to make some changes the free layer is called 4 degrees Celsius that's your news for now thank you for watching I'm Natali del Conte vecina TV and you've just been loaded
