The New iPad

So Conan recently unearthed a little promo video for the iPad. Yeah I think Apple is getting a little cocky too Conan....

I love the 'non-specific ethnic accent'.

The Fune

I have been thinking about getting a cellphone for a while so maybe this is my best option:

Seriously though, I have heard that by early next year we should have some more cell phone carriers flooding the Canadian marketplace due to some new rules. There is Globalive which is owned by a Middle Eastern company that also owns YAK and WIND Mobile (connected to an Italian company of the same name). Public Mobile and DAVE Wireless. are two other newcomers. Public will launch in Ontario and Quebec exclusively and DAVE will launch in all of Canada except Quebec.

So I think I will hold on until there is a little more competition.

Mac Wins Again?

In light of my last blog post I thought this latest comic from xkcd was pretty funny.

Yay for Itunes

So the annual Mac symposium was held today. Other than all the rumours surrounding the health of Steve Jobs there really wasn't all that much super exciting news. Those super exciting rumours were quelled by Steve himself in a letter to all apple fanboys.

The only things that interested me was the news that Picasa is now availiable on Macs and....wait for it..... iTunes are now DRM free!!!!! Yes you read that right. Apple is relinquishing it's deathgrip, albeit slightly, on it's users. I am sure not everybody will be as excited about this as me and my ilk but it means a lot for apple to do something like that. They like being able to pull all the strings, even after you buy their products and try to bring them home and use them for what you want.

Now all they have to do is make iPods able to plug into multiple computers without deleting everything. Yes, all you iPod drones, regular MP3 players can do that without a problem - why can't yours?

In other news, my father-in-law just bought a Macbook Pro and iPod touch both of which I am really in love with.
