My Thoughts of Apple Maybe Introducing a MacBook Tablet to the Current Lonely MacBook Family?

Rumors have been spreading for quite some time now about Apple releasing a MacBook Tablet. Well, A Picture of what the MacBook Tablet may look like has just recently been released. Back in Early June, Apple announced at their yearly WWDC Conference that they have taken the Aluminum MacBook and upped the specs so much that it is now part of the MacBook Pro Family. Making that choice left the original White Polycarbonate MacBook in the Dust. When they made the choice to have just one MacBook, I knew right then and there, that they were going to eventually add something new to that lonely White MacBook Family that started it all. Alot of People thought right then and there, that Apple was going to add a Netbook to that MacBook Family, then again there also were alot of people believing there would be a Touch Sensitive MacBook. Well with Apples Big Success in sales with their iPhone and iPod Touch, I can sorta see them going further with their MacBook line and making a NoteBook similar to the Glass touch of an iPhone. Then Again its sort of odd imagining a NoteBook that looks like a larger iPhone/iPod. But also you never know how the designs going to be, or if there even will be a MacBook Tablet until Apple Introduces it to the Public. What do you think Apple will add to the MacBook line? Simply Discuss in the Comment Section Below.

Losing Followers on Twitter? Heres Why

If you have recently noticed a substantial drop of followers in the past day or so, I got the answer why. Twitter has just recently announced that they have been going after Twitter Spammers(Adverts who continuously send messages or in this case tweets about whatever they are advertising), and they have been removing a ton of accounts. I myself has noticed a drop of about 50 followers, so you aren't the only one. So if you thought you lost them followers about either something you tweeted, or if people plain out just don't like you no more, its not that reason. Not a very blog post, but in simple terms, they removed spammers who may have been following you. If you noticed a drop in your Twitter followers in the past day, discuss by leaving a comment below.

Application Review - Synergy for Mac and PC

Lastnight I came across a new program, called Synergy. This program allows you to control 2 or more computers with only one keyboard and mouse. It works like this. You simply download the program and install. Then decide what Host computer you wish to use(What ever computer has the keyboard and mouse you wish to use with your other computer[s]). Then you simply type the names of both your computers, and manage what ones on the right or left. After that your free to use that one keyboard and mouse with any computers that you set it up with. This is a great program that can be download for Mac here:http://sourceforge.net/projects/syner... and for PC Here: http://synergy2.sourceforge.net/ . You can find my review video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=APu4zIwLIQE .

Review: Nintendo DSi

Yesterday, I decided to trade in my Original Nintendo DS and a few games for a Nintendo DSi. Gamestop was holding a sale, and I got 50$ towards a new DSi if i traded in my old DS. I picked up the Blue Nintendo DSi. The DSi upgraded alot from the recent Nintendo DS Lite. The DSi has many great new features such as a Built in camera, both on the inside and outside, microphone, Wireless Internet access, Nintendo Shop, MP3 Players, Peer to Peer Play with other friends with a DSi, Ability to send messages to other DSi's, A bigger dual screen, and the classic PictoChat. The Nintendo DSi is packed with many great features such as a new main interface, which lets you scroll through different applications and games you buy. Some of the preloaded applications include the camera, which alows you to do many cool things with the pictures you take, such as morph the photos, mirror them, color the pictures, and add change the color of the photos. Another one of the preloaded applications is the ability to buy games, classics, and certain applications such as the DSi Browser from the DSi Store similar to Wii Shop. You can also record voice, and edit. Now to review some of the outside features of the DSi. The DSi has an SD card slot, Micrphone, Front and inside Camera, Headphone Jack, Volume control, and of course Game Cartridge slot. Overall this is one of Nintendos best handheld device yet. After owning every Gameboy to date, I have to say, this is one of the best Nintendo has released. The only con to this device is that it lacks a GBA cartridge slot, so i wouldn't recommend trading in your Gameboy for this, if you love to play Classic GBA games. This product can be picked up from gamestop or any game retailer for $179.00 in Black or Sky[Twitter lol] Blue. See my unboxing at this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kWQKOd1Xw9k . The Review's link will be posted soon. Follow me here and on Twitter for blogpost and daily content. Subscribe to my youtube for Tutorial, Review, Unboxing, Technology, and Computer Help Videos.

Review: Amazon Kindle 1

In January 2009 I received the Amazon Kindle 1 for my Birthday. The Amazon Kindle 1 was released on November 19th 2009. The Kindle is an Electronic Reading device, other known as an "E-Book". The kindle can hold up to 200 Books or more(With an SD Card). You can also buy books its built in Kindle Store. Where you can purchase books, Magazines, or Newspapers, and can be downloaded within seconds. Newspapers come to your kindle, right when you wake up in the morning, and Magazines come to your kindle as soon as they are released either weekly or monthly. You can also store music on in, and listen while you read. One of the really great features of Amazon's Kindle 1 is the ability to use the Basic Web. This alows you to go to any website that doesn't use Flash Video[Ex.- Wikipedia; Myspace; Twitter; USA Today; etc.]. Now this doesn't use wireless; It uses Sprints 3G Network at no charge, Meaning you can go anywhere an browse the internet, and browse the kindle store. Other features include full QWERTY Keypad, Scrolling Bar, SD Card Slot, Side Buttons[Next Page; Back; Previous Page]. The Pros of the Product is that its one of the best E-Book Readers out there, It has a large screen, and the Black and White screen gives the reader more of a feeling of reading out of an Actual Book. The Cons are that, the screen isn't bright, so you will either need a light or read in the day. The side buttons are also a hassle, because they are easy to press while holding the device. Its also quite pricy for just an E-Book Reader. The Amazon Kindle 1 can be purchased at Amazon.com for $220. The Kindle 2(Current Kindle Version Released Feb. 9 2009) can be purchased for $299, and the Kindle DX(Recent Release) can be purchased for a very high Price of $489. For more review content of Amazon's Kindle 1 I will have a Full Review Video up Later Tommorow. I will post the link once I upload it.

Review- Griffin AirCurve Amplifier and Dock for iPhone/iPod Touch.

Today I picked up the Griffin AirCurve from the Apple® Store. Its supposed to amplify the sound from you iPhone or iPod Touch, and make the sound louder without no wires or nothing(just the dock). It can also be used as a dock for sync and charging. As You can see from the picture to the left, it has a nice clear design to it, with a tube that gets bigger and amplifies the sound coming from the iPhone/iPod Touch. From Testing it with my iPod Touch 2G I found the sound not as much louder as I thought it would be. Its probably louder with the iPhone, because it fits more snug in the dock. The Griffon Air Curve is made to increase your iPhone/iPod Touches speakers by at least 10 decibals without use of speakers. Theres not too much to this product to explain, but it still a great, cheap product to be used as a Dock and Also something to amplify your iPhone much louder than the standard noise. This product can be purchased from retail stores such as the Apple® Store, Walmart etc. for a price of only $19.95. Thanks and stay up to date for more reviews, tutorials, technology and more.

My First Phone Review: LG Xenon from AT&T


Today I filmed my first phone review; The LG Xenon. The phone was released in the beginning of May so its fairly new. This phone has great features such as a Full 2.8" Touch screen phone, Slide out Full QWERTY Keyboard, 2.0 Megapixel Camera, Widgets that can be dragged to the main screen of the phone, great texting features, great Internet and E-Mail, A favorite apps section, and downloadable apps/ringtones. This phones release made the best LG Phone to date in my opinion. This phone is great, although there are downfalls with everything. When the QWERTY Keypad is slid out, the phones touch screen does not always correspond. The scrolling on it is not the best neither. Overall its a great phone I would recommend it to anyone that loves texting due to the many options on the keypad, and the texting menu. You can pick this phone up at your local AT&T with a new 2 year contract for $99.99 in a variety of Black, Blue, and Red. Without a contract the phone is $300.00.

Thanks to Ryan B. for lending me the Phone to Review.

I just recently posted a video about selling my white intel 20" iMac running Windows 7. A few months ago my iMac was screwed up in the bootcamp process and was fully partitioned with Windows.

If I sell this, im going to end up buying an Apple display for my MacBook. The iMac i am selling currently has a 20" Display, 2 gb's of ram, a 232 gb harddrive, 2.0 Ghz Intel Core Duo Processor, 2 Firewire 400 Ports, 3 USB 2.0 Ports, Ethernet Port, Audio In-Out, Built in Wireless Internet[Airport Extreme], Bluetooth, iSight Cam, Built in Speakers, Microphone, and Opertating System Windows 7 Ultimate.
