Live from Apple's fall 2010 event -- Engadget -
Jus wanted to pop on and say… YES! finally, camera (front & rear) on the iPod Touch.
32gb you are on my radar now… I may even want you more than an iPad.
Retna display, and hd video recording too. Basically an iPhone without the AT&T nonsense.
Yeah this is the iPod I have been waiting for, for a few years now.

1001 Inventions That Changed the World
As a student of Architecture (or at least once upon a time I was) This is a very cool idea. I hope it gets expanded and comes to Android. :)
The new “Buildings” app for iphones tells you about the local architecture.
A free new iPhone application that shows architecture from across the globe is now available for download from iTunes.
Buildings is an application containing an encyclopaedia of architecture at the user’s fingertips. It supplies information, images and videos on over 2500 historic, contemporary and conceptual buildings. It lets the user find and learn about architecture nearby, across their country or overseas.
Using GPS technology to pinpoint the users location, Building is also a perfect mobile guide for travellers who can use their iPhone to find directions to buildings of interest.and an excerpt from Archinect’s review:
The app is simply titled “Buildings”, and after playing around with it for the last week, I’ve become hooked. I’m finding myself launching the app as I move around Los Angeles to check which buildings surround me. The database is a little sparse for this user’s city, at the moment, but the open-source nature of this well-constructed platform will inevitably help fill out the gaps quickly.
Seems pretty cool to me.
Sidenote: Peter, please download this. Thanks!
I just downloaded and began testing the new Netflix App for the iPod Touch and iPhone.
The thing I have to complain about is that the interface is a tad sluggish. Other than that, it’s a great app. Videos start almost instantly, and video playback is smooth as silk on WiFi.
I am running it on a Second Generation iPod Touch, which is admittedly getting a bit long in the tooth these days. So my only complaint thus far may be moot if you have a third gen iPod or are running an iPhone 3GS or higher.
By the by, it looks as if Apple has another event scheduled for September 1st. My guess is we will see the refresh of the iPod line, featuring an fouth generation iPod Touch with Cameras, both front and rear, to take advantage of Facetime and the new movie capability of the iPhone 4G.

“
A top Pentagon official has confirmed a previously classified incident that he describes as “the most significant breach of U.S. military computers ever,” a 2008 episode in which a foreign intelligence agent used a flash drive to infect computers, including those used by the Central Command in overseeing combat zones in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Plugging the cigarette-lighter-sized flash drive into an American military laptop at a base in the Middle East amounted to “a digital beachhead, from which data could be transferred to servers under foreign control,” according to William J. Lynn 3d, deputy secretary of defense, writing in the latest issue of the journal Foreign Affairs.
