I was brutally murdered at a parking lot! (Hurry up the Cakes App of the Moment)

The Hurry up the Cakes App of the Moment is a feature on a particular iOS app that Mikey (or anyone in Team Hurry up the Cakes) happens to like, be fond of, or amused with, at the moment.

The past few weeks, my brothers and I have been running around looking like idiots in public places. We have been filming each other, all making short action scenes in which we get shot at, squashed by a giant wrecking ball, or we blow up to little pieces because of a missile attack.

It’s safe to say that our fraternal bonds are stronger than ever. And it’s all thanks to a little iPhone app called Action Movie FX (iTunes link)–a video camera app that integrates a lightweight editing suite to include such classic action movie staple effects as a bomb detonation, air strike, cars and helicopters dropping, and, my current favorite, a first-person perspective of a series of gunshots.

Speaking of which, here I am being brutally murdered in the parking lot of Palms Country Club:

iPad 3 > Cakes

From the best tech website on the planet, The Verge:

(Boy Genius Report) has obtained a number of images said to be taken of output from iBoot, Apple’s iDevice bootloader, running in debug mode on an iPad 3 — and in debug mode, you’re able to see some detail on the hardware running underneath. Notably, the processor is identified as model number S5L8945X, which is new — it’s apparently a quad-core Apple A6, which is exactly what everyone is expecting: we saw the single-core A4 in 2010 and the dual-core A5 last year

They go on to write that they also discovered an LTE (4G) model in the works, and the new iPad models should launch “any time now; the iPad 2 debuted in early March of last year.”

Now, since 4G (and, to some extent, 3G) is essentially useless as a mobile network in the Philippines, here is what Hurry up the Cakes can pick up from that article:

  1. The iPad 3 is coming, and soon.
  2. It will have an A6 chip in it, which means faster and better graphics, etc., etc.
  3. The iPad 3 is coming, and soon.
  4. THE IPAD 3 IS COMING, AND SOON.

Forget the cakes, I say hurry up the fricking iPad 3.
