You excited yet? about the iPhone 4S - I am - and I haven’t been interested in the iPhone at all - but with the new features - well at least with voice assistant called Siri. Yes - Siri is a program that will recognise your voice and from checking your appt and rescheduling - it’s gotta be the smartest machine I’ve come across. I loved it and I’m getting it !! I haven’t had a gadget this smart for a long time - so this will be my advance Christmas present. At $649 - I know it’s ex - but I really would like to get it - after all - money isn’t really an issue here right.
Big news CEO of Apple Steve Jobs has announced its resignation. Wow!! I really didn’t think he would resign - but I’m guessing his health must have taken a worst turn? since he had been plague with health issues for a long time. Tim Cook will take over Steve’s duties and become the next CEO. The question is will Apple do as well and better without Steve? your guess is as good as mine.
Yes - about a month ago - there is free wifi in our town - but today’s read on Apartment therapy - showed that free may not be safe? So can one catch a virus while using free Wifi? A report shows that free public WiFi isn’t likely to directly affect your computer or files but it can provide an access point for unwelcome access in the wrong hands.
But Apartment Therapy also shows how you can protect yourself or your laptop from Viral SSIDs very simply with only a few steps. By changing your Advance setting - click on Click on “Access point (infrastructure) networks only” - so whether you have a Mac or PC - make sure before using Free WiFi - change your settings.
If you are thinking of getting and iPad when it is launch like I am for the spouse, you should get this iPad clutch too. It is a cover or a carrier for the iPad. I was actually looking for best joint supplements when i came across this on Apartment Therapy. There was no price tag for it at this time but I will be looking out for it that’s for sure. How not to have a protective cover for the iPad when it will cost me close to at least $500.
By now - I’m sure you have all seen the launch of the iPad by Steve Job - Apple’s co-founder. You must be pretty hyped like i was eh..?? Like any geeky friends - i’m pretty sure you are hyped at any new electronics that are launched. Anyhow, the iPad has a 9.7″ screen with IPS Technology. At $499 - well starting at $499 - the iPad does have a lot of features similar to an iPod Touch - the spouse had joked that it was a bigger version of a iPod Touch. If you haven’t seen the video on the keynote in San Fransisco, google it and you can find them on you tube and just about any geek sites.
Geek explosion! Profiles in History is set to auction off an Apple Macintosh Plus, model serial number M0001 (upgraded from a Mac 128), which was given to Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry by Apple. Man, tell people that George Lucas wrote the first Star Wars draft on this thing and you’ve got the trifecta.
It’ll be auctioned off on October 8 and 9, and it’s got a surprisingly low estimated sale price between $800 and $1,200. That low? Do you guys know that this is a combo of Apple nerdery and Star Trek nerdery? You might want to add a zero to the end of that estimate.
Graphic related issues .. i hear was the problem. Some called it the black screen of death… while the xbox 360 had the ring of death.. muahahah!!! so the copycat or what..?? The screen turns black after a few minutes into gaming. System also locks up.. and user had to reboot. Those playing Call of Duty 4, World of Warcraft, Ages of Empire III, Command and Conquer, Oblivion, Company of Heroes, and others were known to be affected.
But there is another problem.. besides the black screen of death.. i heard. This affects some of the Macbooks and MacBook Pros.. and i heard it had a wavy video distortion while one is trying to scroll webpages or watching any HD content. They think that there is an issue with nVidia’s Mac Drivers.
