So far the camera on the new iPhone appears to be quite a bit better. Have a look at some photos I took today here on the western end of Rockaway.

Welcome to Hunch! Hunch is a decision-making tool, built by its users. In ten questions or fewer, Hunch gives you its best hunch of what you would like. Read the FAQ for help, post to the forums for questions or suggestions, and let us know how we can make Hunch help you. We’re glad you’re here.

Although I’m not entirely sure I understand what this site really is, or why I might need it, I’m pretty sure that its users did not “build” the lines of Javascript code necessary to obtain your information.  That said, after asking me some basic questions (Do you love Apple products?) was able to predict with a 99% certainty that I would prefer the iPhone to the Palm Pre.

My personality type, according to Hunch is INTJ….. “Also known as the Scientist. INTJs are logical, self-confident, independent, long-range thinkers driven by the inner world of ideas and possibilities.”

You can “teach” this website to “know” you, but do you really want anyone, let alone the owner of a website, to know you this well?

On the other hand, I queried the site asking “What author should I read?” … the answer: Nabokov.

June will be a great month for two reasons: the new iPhone, and Wladimir Klitschko’s next fight.  But before either event will happen, Miguel Cotto will face Joshua Clottey, in an interesting (if ultimately uncompetative) boxing match.  Checkout my boxing predictions for more picks….

HBO
June 13
Madison Square Garden, New York, New York
Miguel Cotto vs Joshua Clottey (WBO/IBF welterweight championship)

Cotto on points.  Want to know what a man on a mission looks like?  Well, assuming Cotto still has his mojo (and this is very likely given the Margarito disgrace), then Joshua Clottey will receive a boxing lesson on June 13th.
