Apple Special media Event is coming!

The Apple Special Media event is coming at your FACE! At all of our faces, actually. Official invitations are OUT, rumortown is ramping up, and people are eager beavers. Some people are just beavers.

Either way. The event is tag-lined “Let us Loop you in”. It’s all happening in Cupertino, at Apple’s 1 Infinite Loop campus at 10 am PT/1 pm ET.

What can we expect? Well, the following product announcements are expected:

A 4-inch iPhone called iPhone SE. This model will have an A9 chip and M9 chip with always-on Siri, Apple Pay and Live Photos, although it will look more like an iPhone 5 with the power button on top of the phone.

A smaller 9.7 inch iPad Pro. Basically, exactly that. A smaller 9.7 inch iPad pro (regular size is 12.9-inch). Also somewhat expected is for it to have A9X and M9 chips and upgraded camera specs.

We can also expect new Apple Watch bands. And, who knows, maybe a teleportation Apple Watch feature? Yeah? Mr Cook? Mr Ive? Yeah?

Fingers crossed?

Yelp for people is here.

Peeple is a free  app that launched recently, and yes, it’s exactly like Yelp, but for people.

From the Sauce: “Peeple is an app that allows you to recommend and be recommended by the people you interact with in your daily lives in three ways: personally, professionally, and romantically.”

Uh oh, says nearly everyone.

The app was announced late last year, and nearly everyone thought it was a prank. But it’s not. Get ready for people to rate you, guy. Yeah, I’m talking to you. You better not look at me like that, because I have Peeple.

BUT it’s not quite the end of the world as we know it, as you can’t be super anonymous ( which we all know makes people into monsters), you have to have a FB profile that’s been active for at least 6 months and a cell phone number, and you need those things to create a profile, and from there you can rate people.

We can see this turning into a weird dating site. Guy likes girl he knows vaguely, he ‘rates’ her and tells everyone she’s awesome. Girl must approve of rating, girl likes being told she’s awesome, girl dates guy. Guy is actually a big meanie, girl breaks up with guy, guy rates her badly, girl doesn’t approve rating and moves on with her life.

Right?

That, combined with Linkedin, Kinda.

UNTIL next month, when they’re planning to release a paid version, where anyone who pays can see all reviews written about everyone, even if they’re not approved. Ouch.

Will you use Peeple?

iPhone Tip Of The Day! How to block a caller.

Do you have a stalker?

If the answer to that question is yes, you should probably speak to the police. But this might help too.

To block a caller, go to their most recent call. Add them as a contact. Use fake names, like Stupidhead Don’tanswer.

Now, go to Settings> Phone> Blocked> Add New.

BAM! Stupidhead Don’tanswer can no longer call, message or Facetime you. Sucker.
