Why I Have Not Upgraded to Snow Leopard

cciliberto33 — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 21:19:26 +0000

With Apple finally shipping Snow Leopard way back in August, I have still yet to pick it up and install it. My number one reason is because I don’t want things that I am use to, to completely stop working. Yes, I have been hearing things such as software and hardware incompatibilities. A second thing, I am waiting for a higher capacity, so I can back up everything on my Mac. These are the two reasons I have not upgraded to Snow Leopard.

New iMacs, MacBooks, Mac Minis, Keyboard and Mice Imminent?

Many little things hinting about an October Apple Event (most likely based on the Mac leg of the business). Last year, Apple hosted a event that released the Unibody MacBooks and MacBook Pros. A few days ago, the a new Apple Keyboard and Mouse appeared on the FCC website. Not much was shown in these pictures except the backings. Also, many retailers said there is a shortage on iMacs and Mac Minis, hinting at a refresh. Lastly, on google.nl these ads were seen,

MacBook: Thinner, lighter and stronger! Free delivery. Order today.
iMac: Ultra Thin 20 & 24 inch models. From only 1099. Apple Store
Mac mini: Faster and more affordable than ever. From only € 499. Order immediately.

I think Apple will be announcing a event shortly, certainly now only time will tell.

Windows 7 Pricing To Compete with Snow Leopard;ONLY If You’re A College Student

cciliberto33 — Sat, 19 Sep 2009 23:32:21 +0000

At Snow Leopard’s cheap price point people will say Windows is too expensive. Microsoft spit in the eyes to everyone who said that by offering the Home Premium(or professional) package for 29.99 USD, oh wait I forgot you have to be a college/university student. Yes, Microsoft launched another ball of spit at everyone who is not in college. I know that college students are their main targets to their OS’s(other than school and businesses of course), but seriously? You want me to pay 100+ USD on a Windows 7 Disk (did I mention that buying the physical disk costs an extra 13 USD if you’re a college student), but my brother can go out and buy it for 33 aprox. USD. To me, this is the biggest bag of crap that Microsoft has done in a while. Tell us what you think in a comment below.

Apple 9.9.09 Media Event: My Thoughts

MacBook Touch: My Mock-Up

cciliberto33 — Sun, 13 Sep 2009 05:45:27 +0000

I know that this topic has been done to death, but I am going to show you my idea about the “iTablet”. First off, you can see that this looks like a MacBook Pro, but with the whole bottom case torn off. I think it will look like the top casing/screen of the MacBook Pros, but a little bit thicker to house the components. As for I/O ports I think it will be like the MacBook Air and have a little slip down door to reveal a MagSafe and USB. Tell in the comments what you think.

PS: Don’t say “aww this sucks you suck” this was seriously thrown together in 10 minutes, so don’t be hating.

Why No Camera on the iPod Touch?: My Thoughts

cciliberto33 — Sat, 12 Sep 2009 20:29:44 +0000

Many iPod users were quite mad when Apple announced their new line of iPods on 9.9.09 to see that there was no cameras on the iPod Touch. One tear down of the new iPod Touch by iFixit features that there is a spot open for a camera in it. One reason Apple didn’t implement a camera was a reported manufacturing setback a few days before the keynote. Another reason might reason might have been set forth by Apple, which is they didn’t want it to cut into the iPhones sales. One thing I noticed during the keynote is that Apple did not show any pictures of the iPod’s back in the actual keynote. This I believe was last minute because of the manufacturing problems, so I think they just deleted all the pictures of the cameras in the keynote slideshow because of the problems.
