In approximately one hour, Christina Aguilera's first music video since the disastrous "Keeps Getting Better" will be released, at 12:01 AM.

Let me preface this by saying that I am a HUGE fan of Miss Aguilera. I have bought every single one of her albums, and I've been following her career since the beginning. She's an incredibly talented woman, and we all know this. Her vocal ability is undeniable, she's beautiful, and she is already incredibly famous. No matter what she puts out, people ARE going to pay attention.

This is why I do not understand the way she is blatantly copying Lady Gaga in her new music video. See left, she wears the exact (EXACT!!) same dress that Gaga has been seen wearing, she has pink highlights in her hair, she's wearing the same tights, and the same black pumps.

Christina has addressed the comparison before, and she's made it evident she doesn't want it to be said that she's copying Lady Gaga, so why would she so blatantly copy her by wearing the exact same outfit that Gaga has been seen wearing? Was her stylist playing a cruel joke on her or something? There has to be some explanation for this.

What's Missing in iPhone 4.0?

On Thursday, April 8th, 2010, Apple announced and previewed iPhone OS 4.0. However, there were a few things missing that the iPhone community really wanted to be addressed. Although we got an excellent implementation of multi-tasking, which I believe--although it lacks the visual flair of WebOS-style multi-tasking--is the best solution on a mobile platform at this time, push notifications were not addressed.

The big problem with the current implementation of Push Notifications in iPhone OS 3.x, is that they are too intrusive, and too modal. You can only view one at a time, so if you were to receive three in a row, you'll only know about the most recent one.

I've developed a visual representation of what I believe would be the best solution, given the new UI elements Apple has just introduced and the problems we are facing.

(You'll may also notice that the Clock and Weather are live icons that display current information, and the dock has been flattened and supports 5 icons, or more if scrollable. These are other UI enhancements I would like to see on the iPhone)

Note: I realize that Mail and SMS don't actually send Push Notifications, I was simply using those as examples of applications.

Closed App Tray	Open App Tray	In-App Notification
Revision (So As To Not Block Out 4th Row Of Icons)
