Did not get an iPhone

Thursday, July 17th, 2008

…But i did get a 15in MacBook Pro ! ! ! I think I am going to wait about a few months to get the iPhone to drain out my Verizon contract a little more.

It has been a few years since I have been on a Mac but it only took a few days to reconnect and now I have fallen in love all over again. I have Apple Computers to thank for my deep love for technology that really started many years ago in College. Soon I will have Apple to thank again for the rebirth of that love.

SKYPE for all you communication needs

Monday, February 25th, 2008

If your like me your cell phone bill is about $300 a month, that was just becoming to much. I have had a Skype account for a few years now and have allows wanted to make the switch to more of a Skype dependent lifestyle. For about $60 a YEAR I went with Skype Pro, that gave me unlimited calls to landlines and cell phones in the US and Canada all year plus my own local phone number. To complete the deal I found a logistic cordless phone on clearance at Office Depot for about $35. Know for the topper I called my cell provider and lowered my bill  to a plan that is about $150 cheaper.

The quality of my Skpye calls are very good about 98% so overall I have no problem. Only thing is I need Skype to bring their cell phone/mobile  services to the US.

The Macbook Air - My Ticket to Computer Freedom

Tuesday, January 15th, 2008

I sit here at my desk with multiple computer screens before me, not one of them an Apple Computer. One a Dell XPS notebook that is beginning to become unbearably slow, and the other a homemade machine that runs Windows Vista. My old school G4 Power Book is broken and my Mac Mini was so slow out of the box that I never really used it that much. Heck even my iPod is becoming outdated.

I have anticipated this date for many weeks wondering what Steve Jobs would pull out of his hat, and I must say this looks like one of the best, most surprising Mac Worlds in a while, for Apple’s computer sector. The Macbook Air is the single most exciting computer devices I have seen in many years. The iPhone was nice, however, expected. In my opinion this was a great jump for Apple and an even better start for 08. Although the Macbook Air may lack the power desired by users, such as myself, it is a great starting point, mainly with the optional solid state memory at 64 gigs. I also like how the CD/DVD drive is separate from the computer itself , I do not believe having this connected 24/7 is a necessity since most of our media is downloaded via the Internet. As far as the name goes, “Macbook Air”, I hope this does not effect the Apple/Nike relationship with the iPod Shoe connectivity, I am sure it wont, but I just had to say something. I think Apple could have been a little more creative with the name considering most people I asked think of Nike Air when they hear the word air attached to a new product. I also noticed that Apple used the word “Thinnovation”, boy would I love to own thinnovation.com…lol naaa. Well I am going to get the full scoop and watch the key note presentation by Steve Jobs himself at http://www.apple.com/quicktime/qtv/keynote/
