So I am probably the last mac lover to upgrade to the MacBook Pro but finally I am ready and able to make the plunge… I have been waiting and waiting, which I am glad I did because if I would have got the MacBook Pro right when it came out I would have missed out on the santa rosa processor, boo hoo! Anyways I will of course have a review in a few days for the 2 people out there that don’t have one yet!
As we have all expected, Apple has announced that they will be having a ‘Special Event’ on the September 5th 2007. The invitation went out to selected press in the US on 8/28 and featured a silhouetted figure holding an iPod and the phrase: “The beat goes on”. So judging from the invitation there is likely to be iPod-themed announcement.
This event will be held at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, and it’s widely believed that Apple will reveal updates to the nano and 5G iPod range.
The wait is over, it is official… the Canon 40d is coming at the end of September. According to reports the new 40D will have a 10.1 Megapixel CMOS Sensor with extensive noise reduction technology and 14-bit conversion. A 6.5 fps, burst rate up to 75 consecutive JPEGs or 17 RAW images and DIGIC III Image Processor with a magnesium-alloy exterior, shutter durability-tested to 100,000 cycles, top speed 1/8000, top x-sync speed 1/250.
The 40D will also have EOS Integrated Cleaning System, Picture Style settings, Spot metering, and Highlight Tone Priority for advanced in-camera image control and a large 3.0-inch LCD monitor with advanced Live View Function and new options for reduced shutter time lag and quiet operation.
Sounds good? It does to me! I am very excited for this release and will be saving hard core starting right now… the US retail price is supposed to be $1299 for body and $1499 for body + EF 28-135IS lens, not too bad.
What do you think?
A few short mins ago Apple announced a brand spanking new line of iMac’s. They are built from aluminum and glass and this all-in-one desktop features a complete redesign and will come in two sizes: 20-inch and 24-inch. It will feature a wireless keyboard and up to 2.4GHz Core 2 Extreme processor, also it will have the standard ports like USB 2.0, Firewire 400 / 800, a slot loading SuperDrive, iSight camera and bluetooth 2.0 and my guess is much much more … more info coming soon… check out the pics for now, coolness, too bad i have my mind set on a macbook pro
In todays fast paced, go go go world everyone needs some kind of “pda” type system/devise. There are many electronic PDA organizers, Smart phones and even mini computers that promise to help you get and stay organized and keep everything in order so why on earth would someone chose to use a paper version? Something you can’t sink between your mobile devise, work computer and macbook pro?? There are many reasons and here are the TOP 5 Reasons why YOU need a Hipster PDA.
1. You can truly take it anywhere (except the shower and well a electronic pda cant go into the shower either) and you don’t need to worry about cords, cables, batteries or “stylus”
2. It won’t die on you when you need it most.
3. By nature It’s small, thin, flat, and can be customized to any size you wish, with many different internal and external color and template options.
4. It’s simple and effective- write it down, do it, cross it out. DONE
5. It doesn’t and will never become obselete and or need “updates” after 2 months

Yes, it is old news so to say, people have know about it for over a week but i still CANNOT believe them… OMG! is my reaction, who does that? well sprint does… if you have no idea what i am talking about Sprint sent letters notifying some customers that their service would be canceled by the end of July due to excessive calls to customer service.
The letters stated..
“Our records indicate that over the past year, we have received frequent calls from you regarding your billing or other general account information,” the letter reads. “While we have worked to resolve your issues and questions to the best of our ability, the number of inquiries you have made to us during this time has led us to determine that we are unable to meet your current wireless needs.”
“Therefore after careful consideration, the decision has been made to terminate your wireless service agreement effective July 30, 2007.”
I have also heard of a few people getting these letters for excessive roaming…
I understand that sprint may loose money on people that call up customer service and argue with reps, or try to get discounts or even roam alot but i think they are going to loose more money now, sprint already has bad rap who is going to want to sign up for new service now?
I have A LOT of NEW pics up on FLICKR!!!!!!! check them out HERE
My WOWIO totally FREE iPod Shuffle came yesterday!!! I was skeptical at first and had a somewhat difficult time getting 10 people to sign up as well but it wasn’t a scam and after about 1 month total i have a totally FREE awesome iPOD SHUFFLE!
excuse the poor photo quality its a cell phone pic.
Does anyone else think this whole iPhone thing is getting out of control? There are millions of blog posts about the iPhone, every blogger has done at least one, the hype is well the iPhone is more hyped then Star Wars, then PlayStation3 its the hyped of the hyped and thats not the crazyness im talking about…
Alot of stores now have over 30 people waiting in line…waiting for over 30 hours… waiting outside on the street for 30+ hours for a cell phone that doesnt have MMS, high speed data, a removable battery, or keys? not to mention a cell phone that is from a manufacture that has never made a cell phone before and did we forget that its a touch screen for EVERYTHING!!! i had a tons of issues with my 2 touch buttons on my LG phone and LG has been making cellular devices for 10+ years….
I can’t wait for the backlash…
and PS i am a loyal APPLE enthusiasts
Unless you’ve been living under a rock or in a cave you know that the APPLE iPhone is coming out on Friday June 29th but did you know that PEOPLE are camping outside the Apple store in NYC already????
I can’t say that they are totally insane and or that i didn’t think this was going to happen (one time i sat outside the virgin mega store in Times Square from 6pm until 9am then next day with a few friends to get meet and greet passes for NoDoubt and when the first Star Wars remake came out i had people outside the movie theater that i worked at in NYC for 2 days) but i didn’t think people would start lining up this soon, i figured maybe Wednesday, 2 days before the release, not today, 5 days before!!! Hope they all find it worth it and at least get a phone!
BTW- when i stayed outside all night i not only got autographs but i got to see a private show with only approx 50 attendees, most of whom were media guests.
its jos
