Yerba Buena Center Gets Dolled Up For Apple [Update]

By Peter Ha | January 25, 2010 | +

And so begins our on the ground coverage of Apple’s upcoming “Latest Creation” event in San Francisco. I just stopped by the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts and they’re just now starting to set up the exterior. Poked around a little bit but everything is locked up pretty tight. Didn’t see anything on the inside worth taking photos of other than the graphics that are being put up now. I’ll check back in a couple hours to see what progress they’ve made.

Who’s excited? *this guy*

Live coverage will begin around 9AM PST with the event slated to start at 10AM PST this Wednesday (1/27). We’ll be using a fancy live blog tool to save you the trouble of refreshing to see what’s going on.

Update: I just went and snagged a couple more photos of the YBC, but the rain seems to have halted all progress thus far. At least we can see the almighty Apple. Also, the following interaction just went down between one of the security guards and myself.

YBCsecurity: Stop taking pics.
Me: What?
YBCS: Stop taking pics.
Me: What?
YBCS: Yo. Stopping take pics.
Me: No.
YBCS: *waddles back inside*

    With all due respect to smartphone apps, sometimes you don’t want to open a new program just to get some quick info or perform a minor task. That’s where Android widgets come in handy, bringing the functionality of those apps right to the phone’s home screen. But not all widgets are wonderful. Some are glorified app launchers, while others are downright ugly. Here are the 12 best widgets that no discerning Android user should be without.

    Review: Soulo Converts iPad into Karaoke Machine

    Karaoke lovers typically fall into two categories: Those who enjoy it, and those whose arms have to be twisted to get up and sing in public. Enter Soulo, a software and microphone kit that can turn an iPad or other Apple device into a karaoke machine. It gives you instant karaoke in the privacy of your own home, or wherever you carry your Apple gadgets. That’s the idea, anyway.

    well done. polite but unintimidated.

    what about the pic immediately above your met-with-security exchange, the one with the two columns of rectangles 1-12 on left, 13-24 on right? is that just bleedthrough from YB signage? or is it part of the apple signage? and if the latter, is there anything else that doesn’t show in the small illustration, to hint at what it means?

    When I first walked by I thought they were indicative of other things, but they just denote window and signage dimensions.
