There are some advantages to staying up super late. I had some stuff to do tonight, and kind of randomly pulled up the Apple online store when lo and behold, I have a scoop! The Apple Store is currently down… and today (tomorrow for me) is Tuesday, which is when Apple typically releases new products….

Great Deal on a Mac!
I am no longer paid by Apple to tell you this, but that never mattered anyway! I was looking for something at the Apple store yesterday and discovered that they are selling refurbished iMacs at extra low prices. You can get a 20″ core 2 duo iMac for $999! (That’s good.) I think that link…
Nationwide Wireless Internet
I still say it’s coming. Depending on how they handle it (whoever wins this bid) it could be fantastic. Go Google.
Apple Lighter Than "Air"
The big news from the keynote presentation from Steve Jobs today at the Moscone Center in San Francisco was the announcement of the highly anticipated ultra-portable laptop – the MacBook Air. This computer is as thin as .16″ and the full thickness when closed is .76″. Whoa. Still has all the bells and whistles! (13″…
100 Miles Per Gallon?
Came across an article in my news feed today talking about a new engine that is based on a concept from a 1930 engine that could increase automobile gas mileage up to nearly one hundred miles per gallon! That seems pretty crazy, but the article references the different structure of the piston chamber reducing weight…
Macworld 2008
It’s that time of year again, the annual Macworld Conference and Expo is going on starting today in San Francisco, CA! For some reason I am not as excited this year as I usually am… maybe just too busy with other stuff. But, I’m sure I’ll be following tomorrow’s keynote presentation by Steve Jobs around…
Remote Control = God?
I remember when I was a kid, one of the coolest things in the world was remote control cars. I mean, you could make it go… even though you weren’t touching it! How cool is that?!? Well, last night I noticed that remote control is still one of the coolest things. I was walking away…
Mac-Related News
I’m sure you’ll remember that we stood in line on the night that Apple released their new operating system—Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard—and got ourselves some snazzy t-shirts… well, we finally got the OS, too! I have installed it on my laptop, and it’s pretty neat. There are still many questions I have about it…
100 Times Faster Than WiFi?
Check this out! CNet is reporting that IBM and MediaTek are working on chips that will wirelessly transmit data more than 100 times faster than wi-fi! Up to 2.5 gigabits/second?!? (Compared to 11 to 54 megabits/second of wi-fi.) You could transfer a 10GB file in seconds. Wirelessly. They hope to have something out on the…
Apple Announces Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard
Just in case you are not subscribed to my Apple blog… thought I would let you know that Apple announced a release date for their long-awaited OS update. October 26th will be the day you can get your hands on the latest and greatest OS! There are links to pages detailing the many new features…
