People Chill Out!

May 11, 2008

Okay so everyone is freaking because of the iPhones unavailability. I’d love to say that the new 3G iPhone is coming out, but I doubt it. Knowing Apple, they’re gonna make a big deal about this new iPhone. So I’m gonna go with a few of the other blogs and say that we probably wont see one till WWDC.

MacBook Love

May 9, 2008


So this isn’t a new tech item or anything, just something I felt like talking about. I was on IM, chatting with a friend, while reading Jonathan Livingston Seagull for school. As my hands were reaching to the keyboard to respond, I had one of those Apple love moments. Where I just see the beauty in the design. Apple’s biggest selling points (next to the solid OS) is their signature design. It didn’t look like I had a laptop sitting on my desk, but just a keyboard that almost appeared as if to be “built into” the desk. I know the MacBook isn’t as thin as the Air, but its still so thin and small compared to a good handful of PC Notebooks that it amazes me. The MacBook doesn’t sit there and buzz or click, it just sits there making my life easier. I can’t recall where I herd it, but is was basically capturing the idea that a Mac just gets out of your way and lets you do stuff, however a PC you kinda have to work around it (if it decides it wants to crash or BSoD). It’s amazing how their innovation works. So there you have it, a few words I just wanted to put out there.

 

Also, Apple, if you wanna send me a MacBook Air to test out I’ve got plenty of time. Seriously though, I would love to know what its like to have a MacBook air (not really to own, just for like a month-3 months). I’d like to see what kind of difference its size would make in my day-to-day life (and I’ve already got an 80GB harddrive on my notebook, so that wouldn’t be a hard transition :-p).

Catching Up

May 8, 2008

For those of you who haven’t been paying attention to tech news over my break here’s what you missed:

-Tons of 3G iPhone Rumors

-The Psystar Mac is still around

-Microsoft dropped their proposal to buy Yahoo

-NBC delivered the ultimate “b**** slap” to Apple by teaming up with Microsoft. NBC shows are now available on the Zune Marketplace

-Supposedly iPhone owners would receive free wi-fi in some locations, courtesy of AT&T. However, then the “service” disappeared, and now there’s talks of it happening…..again. Don’t you just love rumors?

 

Well I’ll be sure to keep you all updated, sorry about the break.
