Tevez sparks controversy with 'RIP Fergie' banner
|
|
Air Jordan Retro Shoes On SaleCarlos Tevez landed himself in fresh controversy on Monday when he was pictured waving a mocked-up tombstone for Sir Alex Ferguson during Manchester City's Premier League title celebrations.
The 28-year-old Argentina striker held up a banner designed to look like a gravestone and bearing the words 'RIP Fergie' as City celebrated their title triumph over Manchester United during an open-top bus parade.
Manchester City later released a statement apologising to Ferguson while Tevez also said he "didn't mean any disrespect".www.shoesjordansforcheap.com
There was speculation it could have been a reference to a comment made by Ferguson in 2009 when he was asked whether United would ever be underdogs to their city rivals.
"Not in my lifetime," the United manager said.new air jordan fusion shoes
Tevez left United in 2009 and joined City.
He spent several months in exile earlier this season after refusing to come off the bench during a Champions League game at Bayern Munich in September but returned to play a key role in the title run-in after making peace with coach Roberto Mancini.Air Jordan Womens sale online
City were crowned champions for the first time in 44 years on Sunday when two injury time goals saw them to a 3-2 win over QPR that consigned United -- 1-0 winners at Sunderland -- to second place on goal difference.

Griffin says he'll play in Game 1 despite knee
|
|
New Jordans 2012 For SaleSAN ANTONIO (AP) — Blake Griffin woke up Monday with his sprained left knee not feeling worse, but not really much better. Rest is the only remedy, a luxury the Los Angeles Clippers don't have, and doctors guess he might miss two weeks if this were the regular season.
Griffin? He says he will play in Game 1 on Tuesday night against the San Antonio Spurs.
Clippers coach Vinny Del Negro is making no such guarantees.
"I don't know yet," Del Negro said Monday. "I'll make that decision tomorrow after shootaround, after I talk to the trainer."
Griffin doesn't think that conversation will be necessary.
Griffin said there is "no doubt" about his availability for the start of the Western Conference semifinals, which start two days after the hobbled All-Star played fewer than two minutes in the fourth quarter of a Game 7 win at Memphis. His injury is the most worrisome for the banged-up Clippers: All-Star Chris Paul said Monday that his bothersome right hip is OK, and forward Caron Butler is expected to play despite his broken left hand.www.shoesjordans23.com
Following a light shootaround and film session Monday, Griffin put his health between 75 percent and 80 percent.
"Hopefully more than that, but realistically, probably about that," he said. "But my knee hasn't gotten worse. That's the encouraging thing. It just needs time, and we haven't had much of it."
They've barely had any at all.Womens Nike Air Shoes
The Clippers flew straight to Texas from Memphis on Sunday night, leaving them little time to savor one of the biggest wins in the woeful 41-year history of the franchise. Never had the Clippers won a Game 7 before Sunday, and this marks only the third time they've advanced to the second round of the playoffs.
Then there are the Spurs.
Few things about the No. 1 seed in the West could be more different than the Clippers, and not just in terms of franchise history. While the worn-out Clippers are facing their sixth game in 11 days, the Spurs haven't played for eight days since sweeping Utah in the first round.
That the Spurs are not the most hobbled team in a playoff series is a refreshing change of pace for them. Winners of 14 in a row — one of the NBA's six-longest winning streaks sustained in the playoffs since 1986 — the Spurs are not just well rested but also in unusually good health for this time of year.
They're also in a good mood: After the Clippers won Sunday, Spurs guard Tony Parker sent Paul a text message.Kids Jordan Shoes sale
"See you soon," Parker wrote.
What took the Clippers so long, anyway?
"I was kind of expecting to play on Sunday," Manu Ginobili said. "The uncertainty is not always good. I came here (Saturday) thinking I was going to know, and then I didn't. It's demotivating. Because you can't prepare for nobody."
The Spurs won two of three meetings with the Clippers this season, their only loss coming when Parker sat out with a sore thigh. That was March 9; the Spurs have lost only three more times since then, and once was when coach Gregg Popovich didn't play Parker, Ginobili and Tim Duncan so his stars could rest.
By Monday afternoon, the Clippers were so starved for rest that Griffin was talking about the Game 7 afternoon start almost as though it were a blessing, because it gave them another precious half-day to recover.
"Going through a seven-game series is definitely exhausting," Griffin said. "We may have some guys that are a little beat-up. That's how it is. But a lot of teams have that, and we can't use that as an excuse."

Bass player Donald 'Duck' Dunn dies in Tokyo at 70
|
|
Air Jordan Retro Shoes On SaleNEW YORK (AP) — Donald "Duck" Dunn, the bassist who helped create the gritty Memphis soul sound at Stax Records in the 1960s as part of the legendary group Booker T. and the MGs and contributed to such classics as "In the Midnight Hour," ''Hold On I'm Coming" and "Sitting on the Dock of the Bay," died Sunday at 70.
Dunn, whose legacy as one of the most respected session musicians in the business also included work with John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd's Blues Brothers as well as with Levon Helm, Eric Clapton, Neil Young and Bob Dylan, died while on tour in Tokyo.
News of his death was posted on the Facebook site of his friend and fellow musician Steve Cropper, who was on the same tour. Cropper said Dunn died in his sleep.
"Today I lost my best friend, the World has lost the best guy and bass player to ever live," Cropper wrote on Twitter.
Dunn was born in Memphis, Tenn., in 1941, and according to the biography on his official website, was nicknamed for the cartoon character by his father. His father, a candy maker, did not want him to be a musician.
"He thought I would become a drug addict and die. Most parents in those days thought music was a pastime, something you did as a hobby, not a profession," Dunn said.
But by the time Dunn was in high school, he was in a band with Cropper.
Cropper left to become a session player at Stax, the Memphis record company that would become known for its soul recordings and artists such as Otis Redding, Sam and Dave, Isaac Hayes and the Staples Singers.www.jordansretroforsale.com
Dunn soon followed Cropper and joined the Stax house band, also known as Booker T. and the MGs.
It was one of the first racially integrated soul groups, with two whites (Dunn on bass and Cropper on guitar) and two blacks (Booker T. Jones on organ and Al Jackson on drums), and was later inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.Save on Nike Women's Running Shoes
The group had its heyday in the 1960s as backup for various Stax artists. Dunn played on Redding's "Respect" and "Sitting on the Dock of the Bay," Sam and Dave's "Hold On I'm Coming" and Wilson Pickett's "In the Midnight Hour."Shopping Results for Kids Jordan Shoes
Booker T. and the MGs had its own hits as well, including "Hang 'Em High," ''Soul-Limbo" and, before Dunn joined the band, the cool 1962 instrumental "Green Onions."
"I would have liked to have been on the road more, but the record company wanted us in the studio. Man, we were recording almost a hit a day for a while there," Dunn said.
In the 1970s, the group's members drifted apart. Jackson was killed in Memphis in 1975 by an intruder in his home.Fusion Shoes Jordan Sale
Cropper and Dunn reunited when they joined Aykroyd and Belushi's Blues Brothers band and appeared in the 1980 "Blues Brothers" movie.
"How could anybody not want to work with John and Dan? I was really kind of hesitant to do that show, but my wife talked me into it," Dunn said in a 2007 interview with Vintage Guitar magazine, "and other than Booker's band, that's the most fun band I've ever been in."
Dunn also did session work on recordings by Clapton, Young, Dylan, Rod Stewart, Stevie Nicks and Tom Petty, according to his discography.
Dunn once said that he and Cropper were "like married people."
"I can look at him and know what he'll order for dinner," he said. "When we play music together we both know where we're going."
Dunn received a lifetime achievement Grammy in 2007.
He is survived by his wife, June; a son, Jeff; and a grandchild, Michael, said Michael Leahy, Dunn's agent.

Fox plans new stars for 'X Factor,' 'Idol'
|
|
Nike Air Jordan 6NEW YORK (AP) — Fox is promising changes to underperforming competition shows "American Idol" and "The X Factor" and trying to breathe new life into "Glee" by moving it to a new night and adding guest stars Kate Hudson and Sarah Jessica Parker.
The network will add two comedies to its schedule in the fall, turning Tuesday into a sitcom night, and will add one drama. Fox on Monday became the second broadcast network to announce next season's schedule, following NBC on Sunday.
"American Idol" remains Fox's centerpiece, as it has been for the past decade, but the show has lost a quarter of its audience this season.
"This year was a bigger drop-off than we anticipated," said Fox Entertainment President Kevin Reilly. He said "Idol" made no changes from last year, and there was little "urgency to view" at the beginning of the season.
He promised changes for next season, but he wouldn't give any details.
"There's a lot of life left in it," he said.Shoes Jordan Fusions Sale
Simon Cowell's "The X-Factor" did well in the fall, but it didn't live up to the creator's inflated expectations. Shortly after the season ended, judges Paula Abdul and Nicole Scherzinger and host Steve Jones were dispatched.Womens Nike Air Shoes
Fox executives on a conference call Monday would not discuss persistent reports that Britney Spears will join as a judge. They have a chance to make a splash later: the executives show off the new schedule before thousands of advertisers at a Manhattan theater later Monday.new jordan shoes
"Not to be negative about the people leaving, but we just felt the mix could be more effective and more entertaining," said Peter Rice, entertainment chairman for the Fox Networks Group.
Once a sensation, "Glee" saw its viewership drop by 21 percent this season. It will move to Thursday nights and a comfortable 9 p.m. ET time slot following "The X Factor" in the fall. Reilly said the show is "poised for a creative renaissance," and has Hudson and Parker lined up for multi-episode guest slots.
Part of the reason Fox moved "Glee" is to make Tuesday a four-sitcom night, with two new shows joining "New Girl" and "Raising Hope." Mindy Kaling, actress, producer and writer for "The Office," creates and stars in "The Mindy Project," a romantic comedy about a doctor looking for love. The other new comedy, "Ben and Kate," is about a pair of odd couple siblings.
"We've been building comedy momentum on Tuesday and we finally have the shows that have exactly the tone that we are looking for," Reilly said.jordan shoes for sale
The fall's only new drama is "The Mob Doctor" on Monday night, about a young doctor who has to pay off her family's lifelong debt to the Chicago mob.
Actor Kevin Bacon has signed on for a drama that will air in midseason that Reilly called "the new '24.'" The show, "The Following," features Bacon as a former FBI agent asked to uncover a network of alliances between serial killers.
Another comedy focused on a family, "The Goodwin Games," is due at midseason and stars actor Scott Foley of "Felicity" and "Grey's Anatomy."
Fox's long-running drama "House" is ending its run this spring, and the network is cancelling high-profile dramas "Terra Nova" and "Alcatraz."
Fox has also made changes to its long-running Saturday night lineup, where "COPS" won't return until midseason. In the fall, Fox will present live sports events like college football and NASCAR races that night.

'30 Rock' getting odd exit from NBC
|
|
Kids Jordan ShoesNEW YORK (AP) — Emmy-winning comedy "30 Rock" is being ushered out in an odd way by NBC.
Within the space of four days, NBC officials confirmed that "30 Rock" will call it quits for good after 13 episodes next season, denied it and then confirmed it again.Jordan Fusion for sale
Asked to comment last Thursday on rumors that the Tina Fey-created sitcom was on its last legs, network entertainment spokeswoman Lauren Roseman said the series would end after its final hurrah next season.
Yet asked in an interview Sunday whether any of NBC's current Thursday comedies would be on their last seasons, network entertainment chief Robert Greenblatt said they weren't. All could return beyond next year if they do well in the ratings, he said.www.buy-retrojordans.com
"The audience gets a vote," Ted Harbert, chairman of NBC Broadcasting, added. The two executives repeated that contention in a conference call with reporters nearly three hours later.
But when he went onstage at Radio City Music Hall Monday morning to present the fall schedule to advertisers, Greenblatt said it was the last season for "30 Rock."cheap jordan for sale
NBC hoped that it would continue to work with Fey for "years to come" on other projects, he said.
An NBC spokeswoman had no immediate explanation Monday for the changed stories.

Best Buy Chairman steps down after CEO probe
|
|
Jordan 8 Fusion on SaleNEW YORK (AP) — Best Buy's founder Richard Schulze is stepping down as chairman of the beleaguered consumer-electronics chain after the company's investigation revealed that he failed to alert the board of directors when he learned that the CEO was having an inappropriate relationship with a female employee.
Best Buy Co. said Monday that a probe it launched in March determined that former CEO Brian Dunn, who resigned last month, violated company policy and showed poor judgment by having a "close personal relationship" with a subordinate.
The inquiry also found that Schulze, who first heard about the relationship in December when another employee gave him a written statement regarding it, acted inappropriately by not telling human resources or the company's board about the allegations.
"I confronted him with the allegations (which he denied), told him his conduct was totally unacceptable and contrary to Best Buy's policies and everything I, and the company, stand for," Schulze said in a statement on Monday. "I understand and accept the findings."Save on Nike Women's Jordan Shoes
The latest revelations are part of a scandal that couldn't have come at a worse time for the 46-year-old retailer. The company, which has more than 1,400 U.S. locations, is struggling to regain its footing as it faces increased competition from online retailers and discounters. Customers have all but abandoned buying at so-called "big box" stores like Best Buy.www.buy-jordansretro.com
Best Buy reported in March that it widened its net loss to $1.7 billion, and the company announced a major restructuring. That included closing some of its big-box stores, cutting 400 corporate jobs and trimming $800 million in costs in addition to opening 100 smaller, more profitable locations.
Later that month, Best Buy's board learned about the allegations that Dunn was having an inappropriate relationship with the employee after they were brought to the attention of a senior human resources executive — several months after Schulze questioned Dunn. Best Buy's board then hired an outside law firm to investigate the allegations.Kid Jordan Shoes For Sale
The company probe found that although Dunn did not misuse company resources or aircraft related to the relationship, he and the employee were in significant contact for no identifiable business purpose. For example, during one four-day and one five-day trip abroad in 2011, the CEO contacted the female employee by cell phone at least 224 times, including 33 phone calls, 149 text messages, and 42 picture or video messages.
Both Dunn and the employee said the relationship was a close friendship but not romantic in nature. Still, the relationship has claimed the executive roles of two long-time Best Buy executives.
Dunn was a 28-year company veteran who worked his way up from being a sales associate to head of the company in 2009. He will receive a compensation package worth $6.6 million, which includes a 2012 bonus of $1.1 million, stock grants of $2.5 million, a severance payment of $2.9 million and more than $100,000 for unused vacation.
Schulze created the company by opening his first store called the Sound of Music in St. Paul, Minn., in 1966. He was CEO for more than 30 years, overseeing it through decades of steady growth before relinquishing that title in 2002.Fusion Shoes Jordan Sale
Schulze's resignation is effective June 21 at the company's annual meeting. He will become chairman emeritus, an honorary position, and serve out his term as director through June 2013. He will be replaced at Best Buy by Hatim Tyabji, who is currently chairman of Best Buy's audit committee and CEO of Bytemobile Inc., a provider of video optimization and traffic management systems for mobile network operators.
R.J. Hottovy, a Morningstar analyst that follows Best Buy, said Schulze's departure might be good for the company as it seeks a "fresh start." It also may open up the door for a takeover offer, he said, since getting Schulze to part with his shares has been a barrier for private equity companies. Schulze currently owns 20 percent of Best Buy's shares.Shopping Results for Nike Air Jordan 1
"Schulze has been influential in building the business from the beginning," Hottovy said. "That said, the company has struggled to keep its relevance in today's consumer electronics retail environment."
On the news of the departure, shares closed up 28 cents at $19.56 on Monday after earlier sinking to $19.02 — the lowest they've been in more than three years.

Two California policemen ordered to trial over videotaped beatin
|
|
Jordan Shoes For Sale
SANTA ANA (Reuters) - A judge ordered two Southern California policemen on Tuesday to stand trial on homicide charges in the death of a schizophrenic homeless man who was beaten and repeatedly shocked with a stun gun by a group of officers last July.
The fatal confrontation between police in Fullerton, California, 30 miles southeast of Los Angeles, and 37-year-old Kelly Thomas was caught on videotape and touched off a series of protests in the city.
Officer Manuel Ramos, 38, is charged with second-degree murder and involuntary manslaughter, faces a maximum penalty of 15 years to life in prison if found guilty.Jordan Shoes
The second officer, Corporal Jay Cicinelli, 40, is charged with involuntary manslaughter and the use of excessive force. He faces up to four years in prison if convicted. Both officers have pleaded not guilty.
Prosecutors said the pair turned a routine police encounter with Thomas into an unnecessary and savage beating that cost the unarmed drifter, the son of a former sheriff's deputy, his life.www.shoesjordansforcheap.com
Judge Walter Schwarm said he based his ruling on "the totality of the evidence in this case," including a video and audio recording of the incident that showed Thomas lying on the ground screaming, "They're killing me," as several officers swarmed over him, delivering repeated blows and Taser shocks.
Both men, who remain on unpaid leave and are free on bond, sat motionless and stared straight ahead, showing no emotion, as the judge said he found sufficient evidence to order them tried on all charges in the case. Thomas' father fought back tears as his face grew visibly red.

Jury begins deliberations in Jennifer Hudson family killings
|
|
New Jordans 2012 For SaleCHICAGO (Reuters) - Not a single fingerprint or scrap of DNA was found to prove who murdered three family members of Oscar-winning actress Jennifer Hudson in 2008, but prosecutors said there was overwhelming circumstantial evidence to convict her jealous brother-in-law as the jury began deliberations on Wednesday.
Hudson, her head bowed at times when graphic photographs were shown to the jury, sat with family members in the Chicago courtroom.
The defense attorney for accused killer William Balfour poked holes in the prosecution's mostly circumstantial case in her final statement and accused the police of concocting evidence to convict her client.
"They were trying to convict a pre-chosen defendant," defense attorney Amy Thompson told the Cook County Criminal Court jury in her closing statement following two weeks of testimony.
Balfour, 30, a sometime drug dealer married to Hudson's sister Julia, is on trial for shooting to death Hudson's mother Darnell Donerson, 57, her brother Jason Hudson, 29, and her nephew Julian King, 7.
Balfour's lawyer said police fixated on Balfour, while the real killer was an unknown enemy of Hudson's drug-dealing brother, Jason Hudson, whose body was found in his bed, shot twice in the head while he slept.www.shoesjordans23.com
Donerson, armed with a broom, was shot three times, and Julian was killed in the back seat of Jason Hudson's sports utility vehicle. His body was not discovered until three days later in the vehicle, which had been abandoned.
Jennifer Hudson had testified on the first day of the trial that she had never liked Balfour, and begged her sister not to marry him.
She flew back to Chicago on October 24, 2008, after learning that her mother and brother were dead in the South Side home they had shared, and her nephew was missing. She ultimately identified all three of their bodies.
Jennifer Hudson burst on the music scene in 2004 when she performed on the television singing contest "American Idol." She subsequently won a Grammy for her debut album, and an Academy Award for her supporting role in the movie "Dreamgirls."Jordan Shoes
PROSECUTOR PAINTS JEALOUS STALKER
Hudson hung her head or buried it in her fiancé David Otunga's shoulder when prosecutor Jennifer Bagby showed gruesome photographs of the victims.
Balfour, Bagby said, was obsessed with his estranged wife, Julia, stalking her and consumed with jealousy, though he had several other girlfriends and the couple still occasionally had sex.
The night before the murders, prosecutors said, Balfour sent her text messages while in bed with one of his girlfriends, then went to the Hudson family home in Chicago's tough Englewood neighborhood to try to catch her with her new lover.
Using cell phone records and witness accounts, prosecutors painstakingly traced Balfour's whereabouts for the jury and how he enlisted friends to help him create an alibi. Balfour even went so far as to be purposely videotaped at a gas station, they said.
Prosecutors pointed to Julia Hudson's testimony that Balfour had frequently issued threats, saying he would kill her family first, then her. She had been angry with him the morning of the murders, blaming him for having her wages as a bus driver garnished.
Balfour changed his clothes three times the day of the murders, and avoided telling Julia Hudson where he was when she called after the bodies were found, prosecutors said. He had turned off his cellphone for four hours, giving him time to get rid of evidence and wipe down the discarded gun and stolen SUV, they said.
"If you're innocent, you get back to your wife. You man up," prosecutor James McKay said, gnashing his teeth in anger. "A child is missing."Cheap Air Jordans
"A guy who changed his clothes three times, do you really expect him to leave fingerprints? To leave DNA?" McKay said.

Vengeful teeth-pulling dentist story deemed a hoax
|
|
retro jordans for cheapRemember the tale of the jilted Polish dentist who pulled all the pearly whites from the mouth of her ex-boyfriend?
Turns out the story has no teeth.
The report that dentist Anna Mackowiak removed all her ex-boyfriend's teeth after he came into her dental office complaining of a toothache turned out to be false.
[Related: Do clean teeth really protect against heart disease?]
The popular story, which included quotes from both parties and ended with statements that Mackowiak was being investigated and that the man had already lost his new girlfriend because of his toothless look, was picked up by Yahoo! News, MSNBC and dozens of other major U.S. media outlets.
[Related: Dentist fines patient for negative online review]www.jordansretroforsale.com
Kudos to MSNBC contributor Erin Tennant for chipping away at the story and getting to the truth of the matter.
Here's what Tennant learned:
The Polish police agency in the region where the incident reportedly took place is not investigating any such case.Retro Jordans
Poland's Chamber of Physicians and Dentists is not investigating any case like the one reported. Nor, is a dentist named Anna Ma?kowiak listed on its professional register.
News outlets in Poland did not report the story. Some, however, reported the foreign media's coverage of what they called a "prank."
The original story was traced back to Britain's Daily Mail newspaper. The writer Simon Tomlinson, says he does not know where the story originated, despite its bearing his byline. "I've drawn a bit of a blank," he told MSNBC.Air Jordan Retro Shoes For Cheap
American Dental Association's national spokesperson, David Johnson Jr., said the story was highly improbable because most dentists are equipped to administer drugs only for conscious sedation dentistry. That would mean the man would've known all his teeth were being pulled as it was happening.
It looks like, in this case, the only thing pulled was our leg.

iPhone5: Worth Waiting For?
|
|
Nike Air Jordan ShoesThinking about upgrading to a new iPhone? But you want to know if waiting for the next version is worth it? First, consider the rumors on what features it might have, new design ideas, and maybe most importantly, when pundits think it will be announced.
Design
One thing is certain: this phone will have a new design. Many of the new Android phones sport bigger 4-4.5 inch screens, so Apple is feeling the pressure to increase screen size. Rumors suggest a 4-inch screen — that's .5 inches longer than the current 3.5-inch screen. But the thinking is they will keep the same width (1.94 inches). Basically you'll get another row of icons on the home screen without adding another column of icons.
Apple acquired the rights to use a product from a company called Liquid Metal Technologies in 2010 and many have predicted that the back of the new iPhone will be made from this material. It has superior elastic properties and the hope is that it would be more durable than the current glass back.
Apple has also filed patents involving carbon fiber, which could also provide more strength to the phone's body and an added benefit: color. The specific patent Apple filed was for injecting color into the resinous carbon fiber. But many think they've moved away from that thinking and are looking to a metal back.
Rumor site iLounge also predicts a 20% thinner iPhone 5, decreasing from the 9.3mm iPhone 4S to a sleeker 7.4mm. And what will be a painful transition for peripheral makers and those of us who hope to slot all our IOS devices into speakers, chargers, and add-ons: a new dock connector. The new connector is said to be the shape and size of a pill. Much smaller than the current 30-pin connector that has been used in all of Apple's iPhones.www.jordansretroforcheap.com
LTE
Another certainty with the iPhone is its inclusion of the super-fast LTE data connections. We saw it in the new iPad, and it is a clear trend in phone iterations for all platforms.
Processor
The new iPad sported the faster A5X processor, some predict an even faster A6 processor with a gig of RAM in the new iPhone. Hard to know which of these will make it into the iPhone, but you can bet it will be a lot snappier than the current iPhone.Cheap Jordan Shoes
Battery
The inclusion of LTE, a faster processor and a bigger screen all mean a greater drain on the battery. So while I think the new iPhone will have a more efficient battery, I think the phone itself will have roughly the same battery life and performance as previous models.
Timing
Every year Apple hosts a developer conference in San Francisco in June. For many years, the company debuted the new version of the iPhone at this conference, but last year they waited until October to announce the iPhone 4S. This year, analysts are betting on October for a new release, primarily because a new version of IOS 6, the iPhone operating system (which is expected to be on the next iPhone), has not yet been released to developers.
But as with all things Apple, you just never know. To stoke the June release rumors, some are seeing cryptic hints of a potential iPhone 5 release in the logo for the WWDC event. The number 5 can be discerned in the pattern of boxes that cover the logo. The smart money is on October, but at this point I'd wait until June 11th to buy a new phone, just in case.
Whack-A-Doodle Predictions
The best part of researching iPhone predictions is seeing the outrageous predictions tech sites come up with. This year's no-way-don't-even-bother predictions are: a glasses-free 3D screen (way too gimmicky for Apple), a holographic keyboard (I've tried them: they stink), and a 4.6-inch iPhone (any company that values usability the way Apple does will know you can't comfortably hold a phone that big).Retro Jordan Shoes
The one crazy prediction I really love is the holographic projector built into the phone. Pico projectors have been all the rage in years back — pocket sized devices able to project a movie or photos on a blank wall to increase the image size and transcend the small phone screen. Do I think this is a possibility? Not really. But would I love to see Apple take a leap on something new and cool? YES!
