Apple iPhone 4S for Sprint & T-Mobile? Have you heard about it?
If you haven’t heard, it is rumored that there will be an iPhone coming before the iPhone 5. They say it will be named the iPhone 4S and will be Sprint and T-Mobile compatible BGR.com reports. 
It’s said the phone will have an improved camera with a separate flash; probably 8MP. It is already known that Apple has been testing an iPhone compatible with T-Mobile’s network for some time. This claim supports previous speculation that the next iPhone won’t have 4G capabilities such as LTE. Would you get a Sprint or T-Mobile iPhone?
1900’s Music the 21st Century Way: The National Jukebox
Thanks to The Library of Congress and Sony we now have the oldies to enjoy. When I say oldies I mean OLDIES! Scores of original recordings have been digitized and readied for your listening pleasure and made available free of charge to the public on the Library of Congress Jukebox site. The library recordings currently stretch from the year 1901 to 1925 and is expanding; from around the world. There are recordings ranging from ethnic characterizations, monologues, classical music, popular music, religious (including negro spirituals), and spoken word. There are all sorts of interesting things to listen to and could be used as an educational tool. They do disclaim that “these historical recordings may contain offensive or inappropriate language”….I Bet. A few interesting ones I’ve found: (click to listen, will take you to the Library of Congress page)
