Hurricane Irene is hammering the North East and is now expected to include New York City, Long Island, New Jersey and southern Connecticut. Even casinos in Atlantic City aren't gambling with Hurricane Irene as the 11 resort properties shut their doors for only the third time in the city's history and prepare to face their biggest losses ever.

you can track Hurricane storms on Tv and on your computer but tracking it on the go with the iPhone and the iPad can be a life saver.

Here are a couple of these apps to check out to keep you safe out of the rain:

On July 20^th Apple released its 8^th  major OS X release, and if you upgraded to this Mac Lion you are more likely to start finding system settings and changes you are not used and even dislike, the auto correct and event behavior in iCal, the new natural scrolling, and many more annoyances set through the OS.

There's always the terminal coding and deploying write commands that fixes these irritating settings, Apple called "more than 250 new features” during the press release, but there has to be an easier more user friendly way.

It's called LionTweaks, developed by Fredrik W, and it allows you to dial back some of the annoying features Apple calls new, and turn Lion OS into more OS X like you are used to.

Grab it Here.

Here is a list of what you can do with LionTweaks;

 • Showing and hiding the User Library folder

 • Enable the 2D Dock – from 10.5

 • Remove the new window animation in Lion

 • Disable Mail animations

 • Disable spelling auto correct

 • Enable Stack list view – from 10.6

 • Highlight Stack items on mous eover – from 10.5

 • Change iCals leather to aluminum – changes the image files for you

 • Enable repeating keys

 • Always show scroll bars

 • Show hidden files in Mac OS X – since the dawn of OS X

 • Disable Crash Reporter dialog popup

 • Change Address Book to aluminum – great one if you don't like the book-look

 • Disable resume on a per app basis

 • Enable FTP server – FTP server was pulled out of Lion but existed in Sharing prior to 10.7

 • Customize Launchpad Folder background image

Designer ADR Studios, an Italian designer, posted what an Apples iWatch should look like. I am sold,  Just think of what apple could do with it besides displaying the time from syncing with the iPhone / iPad to interacting with remote apps and data, and maybe even help you cheat on the exam.

You could pair it with your phone to display incoming calls, instant messages or text messages.

Other features of the concept design include Wireless for connectivity, Bluetooth for attaching a headset and a built-in Pico projector.

Of course, the iWatch is just a concept and Apple should take the idea and run with it. If Apple wants everyone to have an iDevice this one would be a must have, and I must have one.
