Apple Brick ¿sucesor de MacMini?

Hoy ha comenzado a circular un nuevo rumor en el mundo tecnologico de Apple, y no es para menos ya que se ha filtrado informacion donde se dice que Apple presentara en el mes de octubre un sucesor del hermano pequeño de ordenadores: el Mac Mini. Este sucesor seria una version menor al MacPro de Apple llamado Brick, quiza esto sea falso ya que no es viable construir un ordenador "capado" en sus prestaciones, ademas de que esto acortaria el precio entre los ordenadores de bajo coste con los de alto-mac mini e iMac-.

I am a PC (and I am Steve Ballmer and all sweaty)

OK--it is Saturday--so here is something fun. You have all seen the Apple ads touting the Mac versus the PC guy. Well, Microsoft is gunning big with its Seifeld and Gates comedy dou--and now they have CEO Steve Ballmer screaming about being a PC. Ballmer if, if anything, passionate.

Apple, the taste of dissapointment.

I was spurred to write this rant post, after randomly reading a post from Elizabeth's Little Blog. So sorry Elizabeth lol, this is in no way really intended to put you off getting your Mac, I'm sure it works very well for some people and I hope you're one of those, just had to get it off my chest!

I was obsessed with Macs since the first iMacs and finally got a brand new Macbook about a year ago. Shiny and white, it's got a 2Ghz Core 2 Duo and 1Gb of RAM.

Apples 101

Want to add some spice to your room without going anywhere but the grocery store? Try this tip:

I had a basket of apples that nobody was eating. So I decided to stick them with wooden skewers and place in a flower arrangement.

Images For Microsoft's "I'm A PC" Ad Images Made On A Mac.... How Embarrasing [UPDATED]

If you're going to call out your competition on national TV, don't use their stuff to do it. That's exactly what Microsoft (or more accurately Crispin Porter + Bogusky who are the people behind the campaign) did according to this Computerworld article:

"Four of the images that Microsoft made available on its PressPass site today display the designation "Adobe Photoshop C3 Macintosh" when their file properties are examined."

Writing from my iPod Touch

I'm finally blogging on my iPod Touch. When I say MY IPod Touch, I mean it's sort of on permanent loan from work. I've had a bit of time to play with it and see what it can do now I've finished the Pitch Black remix. So far, I'm fairly impressed with a couple of things, but overall it looks like Apple are tying people's hands when they should be making things easy to access.

Pros: the Apps - some great little progs, especially iDrum and MooCow Band. There's also stuff like this Wordpress app I'm using now and the mobile twitted one. Very handy. It's also good for auditioning different mixes of my own tracks, as a good mp3 player should.

Mine! All Mine!

We have a serious problem here in the Dragyn’s Lair.  We have people who are unwilling to share their things.  This becomes a problem when there’s screaming involved.

If you aren’t familiar with the Toddler’s Credo, here’s a copy:

The Toddler’s Credo

If it's mine it's mine,
If it's yours it's mine,
If I like it is mine,
If I can take it from you it is mine,
If I am playing with something ALL of the pieces are mine,
If I think it is mine it is,
If I saw it first it's mine,
If I had it then put it down it is still mine,
If you had it then you put it down it is now mine,
If it looks like the one I have at home it is mine,
If it is broken it is yours.
