On the half-hour drive home from celebrating our daughter’s 6th birthday, we somehow remembered the famous Get A Mac ads that Apple has so brilliantly done for the past several years. I think it started with our oldest son and I quoting from one of them. Well, from there we remembered that the [...]

Well it is finally here. The long-awaited, oft-rumored Apple tablet. It’s called the iPad. (iPad? Is that really the best name for it?)
Though Apple calls this new gizmo “magical,” I must admit, I’m still not impressed.
I’ve never been one calling for the tablet. I just don’t get it. I [...]

If you’ve followed this blog for very long, you know that I am a huge fan of all things Apple. In previous years (with fewer kids? fewer jobs?) I would follow the Apple rumor sites (like this one) and report diligently on the speculation of others, and even my own. (That was a [...]

For some reason, I’m one of those people who like it when the calendar says something more. Earlier this year we had 07/08/09. Seven, Eight, Nine. That’s fun! Every year there’s one day where the day, month, and year all match…
And today is that day!
Hope you have a [...]

Apple released a couple new Get A Mac ads last week, and I’d say this particular one vaulted into my top five favorites of the whole 3 year campaign!
Enjoy!

Apple announced yesterday that their latest version of Mac OS X will be available for purchase this Friday, August 28th! The OS dubbed “Snow Leopard” will mostly streamline the current OS, Leopard, even down to the start up and shutdown time. Also, it takes up much less space on your hard drive. [...]

Hey folks! Just wanted to give you a quick heads up. I was reminded today that I used to be an Authorized Apple Business Agent, for which Apple paid me a commission on any sales I generated for them. That was neat. Then I was an Apple Business Store Affiliate, similar [...]

As expected, Steve Jobs did not make an appearance at the latest Apple keynote. However, many product updates did take center stage!
No time to detail it, but here are some highlights:

New iPhone: 3G(s) (“s” stands for “speed”, says Apple)
Same prices, but current iPhone (3G, 8GB model) will sell for $99!
Tons of cool new iPhone [...]

This morning, just before I woke up… I was still in a bit of a dream state. Everything seemed normal. I was talking with someone, and they wanted to show me something on their computer. It was a Mac, of course. (Just like in the movies, my dreams have a disproportionate [...]

Apple updated not one, not two, but all three of their desktop models today, announcing speed, storage, graphics, and other enhancements to the Mac mini, the iMac, and Mac Pro. As they typically do, prices remained the same (or went down) on all of the upgraded models. Perhaps most notably was the 24″ [...]
