Apparently Professor Mullen of Physics at the University of Oklahoma isn’t a fan of gadgets, nor is he of computers. And yet computers help in the discovery of many things in physics, as well as vice versa. Moving on, our dear professor took a bricked laptop, gave it a bath in liquid nitrogen, and then smashed it against the floor. Yet somehow a student near the front row was allowed to have a camera to tape the comedy. But my reasons for posting this is not because I wanted to show you a lunatic professor. No. My question here is this: Should computers be allowed in the classroom as long as the students actually using them to be productive? Oh, and of course the video that might make your day is after the break. Literally.

While we’ve been snoozing on a lackluster Sunday (as have all other blogs right now) Apple blog 9to5Mac was digging through the new iPhone SDK, and found some valuables. First, 2 PNG button files, one to accept a video call and one to reject it was found in the Telephony UI file. You can connect the dots, can’t you? This file is the telephony user interface, which is for making calls. In this case it looks like Apple is planning to add video chat in the next iPhone, but what would really make this take is having a front-facing camera. That would be cool. Secondly, a line of code that displays the words “Video Chat” was also seen, which is included after the jump.
