Have just finished reading 2 articles that caught my attention here from Techradar who interview former Apple CEO John Sculley about Newton being 15 years too early and here from the Apple Blog who relate the eMate 300 to being the first netbook.
Both articles are a good read but John Sculley’s particular comment about keyboards on iPhone make me glad that Steve Jobs is in charge at Apple & not him.
As regards eMate, the similarity between it & the current netbook craze is something I’ve noticed myself but both it & NewtonOS were ahead of the curve becoming solutions looking for problems or needs that no one knew they had at time.
Wondering now if Apple will release a 6″ touchscreen tablet running iPhone OS for $/€699 at Macworld to address this netbook demand in Apple’s unique way.
In this weeks feature Dave takes a look at the pricing between PCs and Macs and comes to some interesting conclusions. In addition to the usual review of what has been happening in the world of Macintosh.
Appleinsider’s Prince McLean gives a very balanced & comprehensive review of the new Macbook Pro with video covering 2 areas. Found the article to be very comprehensive & would recommend it to anyone who may be looking to buy a Macbook Pro but requiring further information.
Ok don’t all yell at me at once. I know this has absolutely nothing to do with Apple or Mac but I just had to post this.
I was out doing some shopping with Kristi at our local Tesco and there in the Fairgreen Shopping Centre was the most fantastic pop culture art I have seen in quite some time.
While getting some milk and bread I came face to face with a Terminator and a Preditor. Wow. This blew me away. The level of detail that the artist had put into this work was nothing short of amazing.
Each piece is made from metal parts that you would find around any motor or cycle shop. I have put in two pictures that I took with Kristi’s camera phone (any of you who listened to last weeks MacCraic will know my phone is 5 years old, so no camera there).
The artist did not have a name on the sculptures but did have an advertisement that said the pieces could be rented for parties and special events. Cool, guess what I want for Christmas this year?
I hope you find them as cool as I did.
Ok so there is a slight bit of Mac involved here. To get the photos off Kristi’s phone I used the built in bluetooth function in the MacBook Pro and paired the phone then extracted the photos from it into iPhoto where I did a little enhancing before exporting them to here. Couldn’t have done it without the bluetooth as we do not have a data cable for the device. Go Apple.
By the way check your feeds for a new episode on Saturday. MacCraic Episode 7 should be a good one.
