Just a quick update about my Wireless Mighty Mouse. Nearly 2 weeks later, it's still performing nicely. The ball has become stuck once or two, but a quick tap upside down sorted it out. The battery level is on full capacity, which includes prolonged usage and leaving it on overnight. It's safe to say that two AA batteries will keep the mouse going for a long time.

As anybody who knows me knows, I'm a huge fan of bleeding edge technology. As these types of technology are so new and revolutionary, they seem to be in a constant beta state. I will focus on 2 products that I see needing improvement.

iPod Touch/iPhone

Since a new iPhone will presumably be launched at WWDC (judging by recent news reports), I thought I'd toss in my word on what I'd like to see improved.

The Apple brand is going to have to start telling a new story soon. 

In the 1980s, Apple launched their "1984" ad. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OYecfV3ubP8] They were not just introducing the new Mac brand with this campaign, but also a new product category -- the personal computer.  Apple portrayed their product launch as something groundbreaking, revolutionary and - at least metaphorically - heroic.  The words:  "...why 1984 won't be like 1984."  The pictures:  a female athlete hurls a sledgehammer and destroys the image of Big Brother.  In filmmaking, this storyline falls under the superhero genre.  Someone or something comes along to overcome incredible odds and save us.  That's what Apple promised and that's what Apple did.

Apple vient de rendre disponible la nouvelle publicité d'iTunes ventant l'exclusivité du nouvel album de Cold Play. La pub est un petit chef d'oeuvre visuel et il est possible de la voir ici.

a song i can't stop listening to..."where i stood" by missy higgins. such an amazing song off her new album on a clear night. it's constantly on repeat on my ipod. i first caught wind of the song a few months back when it appeared in a one tree hill episode. so good. check it out.

Long time no see, eh?

Something strange happened a couple of days ago, my iPod died along with my headset. Well I've got warranty on my headset, but not on my iPod. I can't be bothered to send it for reparation, no. This is the time when I have to get myself a new iPod. If you look at my earlier posts you should be able to see that I decided to get myself an iPod Nano. But things have changed and I am going to get the 16GB iPod Touch. Well, it is very bad that the iPod Nano's space capacity does not reach above 8GB, or else I would have bought it. 

Apple lanzó ayer por la noche, un nuevo anuncio promocionando la iTunes Store. El video se destaca por presentar a la banda Coldplay  tocando su nueva cancion “Viva la Vida”.

Las típicas siluetas de estos anuncios siguen presentes, aunque esta vez tienen un colorido muy al estilo Leopard.

Aperture Plug-in Developer Releases Beta IPhoto Plug-insUbermind, a company that has been developing Aperture plug-ins for Apple's professional photography market for the past two years, has released a few new plug-ins for iPhoto.

Ubermind said they are brining the same technology they use for their high-end plug-ins to Apple's consumer application. The iPhoto plug-ins are all currently in beta, but are available for download.

Todos los MacBook que sean lanzados en el 2009, llevaran nuevas pantallas LED retroiluminadas, según informes de DIGITIMES… en estos modelos entran los Pro y como es evidente los AIR.

El encargado de fabricar estas pantallas será la empresa Kenmos, y se espera que solo este año fabriquen unas 1.5 millones de pantallas para Apple.

De excursión y en el Corte Inglés de Sta. Cuz de Tenerife he fotografiado con mi nuevo iPhone a estos ordenadores de  -Pues el guardia de seguridad me había prohibido sacar más fotos-. Lo que más me ha llamado la atención ha sido la venta de este iMac blanquito por 800€, un tanto extraño dado que la foto es del 15 de Abril de 2008.
