Top Secret Aircraft Caught In Kandahar
Everyone loves to see some secret aircraft from our U.S. arsenal. This picture was caught in by a French photographer and published on his secret defense blog. Previously this aircraft was captured visually in Kandahar, but in your typical blurry images that lacked any real detail. The photo seen above is of what is thought to be a UAV or an unmanned aerial vehicle. Some sites have commented that it appears it may be large enough and show a canopy that you can slightly make out at this angle.
The exhaust outlet looks like a Skunk Works project called the P175 Polecat although there is no way to tell if this is a result of that project. The most interesting part of this whole aircraft is the fact that it has not been seen by the public. What is it that makes this aircraft so special that its existence must be kept a secret from the public? If you know, we would really appreciate it if you would share.

Apple Responds To The FCC About Google Voice
Apple has rejected a lot of apps in the past year of its existence and usually without giving the reason. The latest app we all heard about was the Google Voice app. Since then, Google brought the issues to the attention of the FCC to investigate.
The FCC asked Apple to answer quite a few questions and today Apple has finally answered. The list is lengthy and fairly comprehensive and claims to have not rejected the app from Google, but rather that they are still investigating it. The document is worth the read if you have the time and has been posted by APple in full on their site. Check it out [Here]
New iPhone Air Concept Brings Hope To The Future
A new concept photo shows what could be an iPhone of the future. The "iPhone Air" as they call it, shows a very slim phone with iChat capability. Many have wondered why Apple has left out iChat and instead left instant messaging to those of the App community. We assumed maybe it was due to SMS, but maybe not? Video iChat on your iPhone would be quite a great idea, although we doubt its existence will be anytime soon. The form factor and look of this concept really look Apple-like, and may show what could be coming in the future. Lets hope at least some of these ideas get implemented.
Apple Hits 300 Million Apps Downloaded
Without question, the App Store has been an unbelievable success. In a mere 5 months since the store entered existence, they have hit the 300 million mark. It is hard to believe that there would be this kind of success on even an Apple product, let alone anything else in this short time frame. The great thing about the popularity of the App Store is the capitalistic model can only bring better and better apps for us all to enjoy. With over 10,000 apps now available and that number increasing ever day, Apple is sure to hit 1 Billion next year.
New Rumors of Apple’s Own HDTV
Cnet is reporting that they had a chat with Jason Calacanis who informed them that Apple was working on their own HDTV. We have heard this rumor years ago and it sort of trickled out of existence with the Apple TV.
Now the new rumors say that Apple is creating its own fully networked HDTV with Apple TV built in features. The new TV’s would feature an iTunes movie and TV show rental service and allow full integration with you Mac or any PC running iTunes.
This comes as no surprise , but it could be just something Apple is playing with in their labs that may never come to be. There is no reason Apple could not make their own TV’s and maybe we will see them soon, but I certainly hope the price is nothing like their current displays if they do come to market.
