Apple's just announced ios 4.1 boasting a number bug fixes and some pretty notable additions. Those fixes include remedies for the proximity sensor issue, Bluetooth, and iphone 3G performance, while the new features include High Dynamic Range photos, HD video uploads over Wifi, TV show rentals, and, at long last, Game Center. That latter bit is pretty much what we've been seeing all along, and boasts a range of new capabilities for multiplayer gaming including the ability to challenge friends, keep track of scores, and new ways to find games -- of which there will be some pretty interesting new ones that take advantage of the added capabilities. Look for the update to hit itunes sometime next week as a free download for your iphone or ipod touch.

When the Great Depression came, the Lehmans rolled up their shirtsleeves, politically as well as financially. Bobbie ’ s cousin, Herbert Lehman, had become Franklin Delano Roosevelt ’ s right-hand man in the late 1920s, when Roosevelt was elected New York governor and Herbert the lieutenant governor. When FDR moved into the White House, Herbert was elected governor in his own right and countered the Depression with what came to be called the Little New Deal, including measures on minimum wages and unemployment relief.

In my reporting of the news, I took issue with that sentiment. "Avatar" did something special, sure, but not all film is created equally. Just because so-called "important" films are being produced in the new format, it doesn't mean there's no longer a place for schlocky genre film. That's my argument anyway.

Sorry for the tardiness, but it ’ s been a hectic weekend for us here at the Bridge. Between moving and working my “ real ” job, I ’ ve barely had time to even think about the fallout from one of the UFC ’ s most hyped cards of the year. UFC 118 featured fights from Deathwish Inc. - sponsored fighter Joe Lauzon, trash-talking extraordinaire Nate Diaz, the undefeated Gray Maynard, ESPN ’ s Kenny “ Kenflo ” Florian, James Toney, Randy Couture, BJ Penn, and the first ever title defense for Frankie Edgar.

For those disinclined to follow media circlejerks, the latest one involves Washington Post columnist Mike Wise, who, for whatever fatuous reason, decided to take to his Twitter account on Monday to try an “ experiment with online media ” where he made up a report saying he heard that Ben Roethlisberger ’ s suspension is being reduced to five games. A few online media outlets, including Profootballtalk, fell for the ruse, which Wise later stupidly bragged about on his radio show. Wise did an interview that day with Dan Levy, in which he responded to Florio ’ s contention that the Tweets were a dick move by suggesting that Florio has no right to talk because he ’ s a remorseless ethically challenged dick, which is true but doesn ’ t make Florio ’ s claim any less right.

Coach Tom Coughlin has said the team would explore acquiring a veteran reserve.

This project seems really interesting. It includes for now, a really great cast. Chris Pine taking on the lead role in this, might elevate his acting chops to a new level.

It ’ s also rumored that Clooney himself could play the politician Myers works for, in a short appearance (this character is never seen in the original play). Pine should join this now! It ’ s a great career move. Do it!

The good news is that if all goes according to plan, the rotation will receive a significant upgrade in mid-september with the return of Andy Pettitte. While not impossible, it also seems unlikely that A.J. Burnett and Javier Vazquez will continue being as bad as they were in August. Additionally, the Yankees will be getting both Alex Rodriguez and Lance Berkman back within the next several days, lengthening and strengthening a lineup that has already been doing quite well without them. If the Yankees get everyone back, healthy and effective, they should be primed for a solid end-of-season stretch run and can hopefully take that momentum with them into the postseason.

Ending this war is not only in Iraq ’ s interest — it ’ s in our own. The United States has paid a huge price to put the future of Iraq in the hands of its people. We have sent our young men and women to make enormous sacrifices in Iraq, and spent vast resources abroad at a time of tight budgets at home. We ’ ve persevered because of a belief we share with the Iraqi people — a belief that out of the ashes of war, a new beginning could be born in this cradle of civilization. Through this remarkable chapter in the history of the United States and Iraq, we have met our responsibility. Now, it ’ s time to turn the page.

” reported Tuesday that a funny thing happened to Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Mo Williams on his way back to Cleveland this past Sunday. The guard unexpectedly ran into former teammate Lebron James at Hopkins Airport in Cleveland. It was the first meeting between the two since James announced his decision back on July 8, to take his services to South Beach joining Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh on the Miami Heat. Williams took the announcement that the back-to-back NBA MVP winner was leaving the team particularly hard, as he realized with James went the Cavaliers legitimate shot at winning the Larry O ’ Brien Trophy.

That left Howard and Werth on 2nd and 3rd with 1 out, Broxton comes in to relieve and well u know what happens next, Carlos Ruiz pinch hitting for Brian Schneider rakes a hit, 2 runs score and all the momentum that the Dodgers gained from James Loney ’ s two run home-run (James freakin ’ Loney people … he finally did something right) and Podseknik ’ s diving catch in left field.

That envelope is already getting pushed, based on today ’ s demo of Project Sword from Epic, a game coming soon for ios devices. Aside from multiplayer matchups with two ipod touches and Game Center, Project Sword offers an immersive 3-D world due to use of the Unreal Engine. Apple ’ s A4 chip — now in the new ipod touches — handled the high-resolution game flawlessly on the new retina display of the device. Based on the demo, Apple ’ s handheld runs the Unreal Engine at least as well, if not better, than Nvidia ’ s (s nvda) Tegra 2 chip, which I saw first-hand earlier this year, and surpasses performance of any handheld I ’ ve seen yet.

Providing good customer service is often a matter of common sense, but that doesn't mean it comes naturally to all business owners. For some, in fact, it means behaving differently than they do in other business situations, says Richard Proffer, a counselor at a University of Missouri Small Business & Technology Development Center. If you are used to fighting about every detail of a business deal, say, you may have to adjust your attitude. Ditto if you feel that selling is a zero-sum game; to win customers, you will sometimes have to make them feel they have won, too. The pages that follow are a guide to providing excellent customer service.
