Review - Apples New Lineup - Are they worth buying for the Holiday Season?


After visiting the Apple store, I finally got to get some hands on with  Apples new Lineup of items that were brought to us in October. Now the real question is. Are they worth it? The answer is yes. The new iMacs are stunning! I noticed that they are a good bit thinner than the previous gen. The screen is phenomenal. Best picture Iv ever seen on a computer. For its price, its worth every penny. For $1,999.00 you get a gorgeous 27" screen. Quad Core processors that boost performance up to 2x, 1 TB Hard drive, 4Gb of memory, SD card slot, and the ATI Radeon HD 4850 GRaphics card with 512 mb. The iMac is also available in 21.5". The new MacBook is beyond a great computer to get for your first Mac. For $999 your getting a Notebook better than the lower end MacBook Pro. The Screen is now glossy, the Computer is just as the as the MacBook Pros. The MacBooks Specs include a 2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor. 2Gb of memory. You get a 250Gb harddrive compared to the lower  end MacBook Pro(160Gb), a superdrive, NVIDIA GeForce 9400M graphics, and a 7 Hour battery. The new Magic Mouse is the first ever Multi Touch sensitive mouse. After testing it out, I cant wait to receive mine for Christmas. Everything about the mouse is accurate. Scrolling is great, and it actually fits perfect for my hands. Its a mouse like iv never seen. The best mouse iv ever tried. 


Now for the Big Question? Are these new Apple products worth asking for as  a gift for Christmas? Of course! Iv actually asked for the mouse the first day it came out. These new Apple Products are amazing, and so is the price. You getting a whole lot more for the same price as the previous generations. As for the Magic Mouse. Its worth all $69 of it.

Apples Music Event "It's only Rock and Roll, But we like it" - What to expect

Apple recently announced that their 2009 media event is coming on 9/9/09. Rumors have spread like crazy all over the internet about what to expect from apple on that day. Their have been tons of rumors on Apples iPod Touch, and the so called MacBook tablet. Here are the rumored thoughts on what Apple may be releasing this wednesday.

1) iPod Touch 3rd Generation - Rumor has it that Apples New iPod Touch will now have a Built in 3.0 Mp Camera with Auto Zoom/Video Capabilities. The needed built in microphone to get the most out of the app store.

2)iPod Classic and Nano update - Just recently people have rumored about the iPod Classic, and Nano will also have a smaller camera, and microphone with an added App Store. [Bad Idea] Apple in my opinion wouldn't kill there two main Mp3 players. These iPods should be strictly for media. App Store/Camera/Mic should remain with the iPhone/iPod Touch

3)New Apple Tv - Rumor has it that there will be a new Apple Tv with a whole new software, and added features to make your Apple Tv experience a whole lot better.

4)iTunes 9 - The all new iTunes. New Interface, and Social Networking capabilities with Twitter, Facebook etc.

5) Apple Tablet - The Rumored new Handheld touch screen Mac. [Most Likely not coming this keynote

These are the top 5 rumored things to be released at apples new media event. There is also rumors on a Steve Jobs appearance which is highly likely. Only time will tell what Apple releases, and what they don't release. With Apples event only a day away, all you can do is wait. Comment on your thoughts about what apple may release at there media event.

The Future Is Touch?

It Seems As If Everything That Is Coming Out Now Is Touch Screens Examples:Ipod Touch/Iphone,DS Which Already Came Out But Had To Mention It And Others Like Surface, Intel 3d Touch-Screen Display, Touch-Screen Vending Machine..Yeah A Vending Machine..., Windows 7 Touchscreen,Sony Walkman X-Series,Palm Pre,iBar,HP tx 2000(Laptop) And Many Others That I Never Mentioned But Is It Really The Future? We Will Just Have To Wait And See What Comes Out Next.

Computers+Tables+Touch Screen=$15,000?


A Little While Back Microsoft Introduced The Microsoft Surface And I Wanted To Talk About It So Heres A Little Review Even Though Basicly No One Has One.Basicly Its A Giant IPhone/Pod Touch The Size Of A Table.....LOL...There Are Many Things You Can Do With It.First Of All Im Gonna Tell You About Bars With These.When You Put A Drink On The Surface It Senses Or Recoginizes The Type Of Drink And Or The Ingredients And Tells You.Also You Can Pay Right From The Surface.You Just Put Your Credit Card On The Surface And It Transfers The Money Off Your Card To The Company/Bar.
(Games?)Yes Their Is Games Which Are Pretty Neat So Far There Is A Couple Games For The Table. 1.Firefly,Basicly You Have To Round Up The Fireflies With Your Hands/Fingers And The Cool Part Is That As Many Players As You Want Can Play Without Interferring With The Other Players Touch. 2. Checkers, Basicly It Is Normal Checkers But It Has Extra Features Which Are Pretty Cool. 3. Chess, Same As Normal But As I Said Extra Cool Features. 3. Ribbons, Which You Draw And It Repeats It Over And Over Again But When You Put Something On The Table It Collects The Ribbons. The Game Is Basicly Like Paint. 4. Tiles, You Just Line Up Your Pieces And You Try To Destory Your Friends/Other Players Wedge. Thats About It For The Games. Their Are Some Other Features Like Transfering Music To Your Phone Or Opposite. Its $15,000 For The Non-Buisness One And $20,000 I Believe For The Buisness One.
