Steve Jobs has announced in the live iPhone 4 press conference today that 3,000,000 iPhone 4s have been sold in just 3 weeks. Despite the negativity around the Antenna issue, this is a huge number and speaks volumes on the success of iPhone as a product.

As forecasted by NASA back in December 2008, there is expected to be a strong display of the Leonid meteor shower. Its predicted that there’ll be “20 to 30 meteors per hour over the Americas, and as many as 200 to 300 per hour over Asia” according to NASA. It is due to peak on 17th November 4a.m EST and could very well be one of the best Leonid showers in years.

The 2009 Perseid Meteor Showers will be start on 11th August after night and continue till sunrise on 12th August. If you live in North America you might be able to see them live by lying on the ground and looking straight up.

If you followed the E3 conference, you must have noticed how Sony and PS 3 fanboys were claiming that Microsoft only showed scripted/acted demos and not live one for Project Natal ( they acted as the Paint Party and Ricochet demos weren’t live ). Microsoft had promised demos behind closed doors, for people attending the conference and they did stick to their promise. A lot of celebrities, amongst other people, got a taste of Project Natal at E3, and the reaction has been amazing. Felicia Day, Brittany Snow, Aisha Tyler and many others got live demos of Project Natal and the videos are up at the Project Natal Youtube Channel. I’ve embedded Felicia’s hands on video of Project Natal below, others can be seen at the Youtube Channel.
