MacBook Nano It’s Fake

Categories: Apple, Featured, Laptop, Mac Hardware

Apple has a future in the netbook business but we don’t exactly know how it looks like. According to official statements we aren’t going to see an Apple netbook prototype in the near future. The MacBook Nano in the picture here looks pretty but it’s a fake. Here’s what the creators of this monstrosity have placed inside: * MSI U100 MacBook Nano * Windows XP Pro + Mac OS X 10.5.5 * Intel Atom N270 1.6GHz * 2GB DDR II * 10 inch WSVGA LED (1024×600) * 320GB SATA * MMC/SD/MS 4 Read More

The 15-inch MacBook Pro

Categories: Apple, Featured, Mac Hardware, MacWorld, Macbook

The live Apple coverage made earlier today had some information about the new MacBook Pro, but if you want specific details just keep reading. * Prices: from $2,000 to $2,500 depending on the processor + graphics card + memory ram + hard-drive. * Alternative Prices: as low as $48 per month for the low-end model, which means it will take a few years to complete payment. * New Stuff: Multi-Touch trackpad that doesn’t have a button, so Appleish… In the specifications list, the new MacBook Pro boasts the following details: * Intel Core 2 Duo at 2.53GHz, or if you want better go for the 2.8GHz processor * 2GB or 4GB of DDR3 RAM Memory, at 1066MHz * 128GB SolidState Drive, or 320GB SATA, or if you need something smaller there is a 250GB Serial ATA * Integrated Graphics Card NVIDIA GeForce 9400M, or a normal 9600M GT with 256MB All the other features are equal to both laptops, which includes a SuperDrive 8x, a Backlit Keyboard.

Apple new Cinema Display too pricey, buy a iMac 24″ or 3 Samsung Syncmaster 24″

Categories: Apple, AppleTV, Featured, Mac Hardware, MacWorld, Macbook

Apple today introduced a new LED based 24" Cinema Display especially designed for the Macbooks, featuring the new Display Port, 1920 x 1200 resolution, stereo speakers, a MagSafe to power your Macbook, a USB port. While the design is beautiful and the added technology makes it more interesting the price is too high for what it offers, it is a iMac case that behave like a Display but without the iMac and if I want to have a bigger display for my new Macbook this is not the correct one, with this money I can buy a iMac 24" refurbished that will be more productive than an dull Display. Sorry Apple, not this time The $899 price is tooo high for a secondary display, instead the smarter thing to do is spend it in two or even 3 display from Samsung, while I won't discuss that the display looks beautiful, but please the price is out of proportion when you can buy an iMac 24" refurbished for the same price and even if you need more thand that, you can buy a Epson or any other Projector that you can hook up your Macbook. Check these offers, while these displays are not Cinema, ...

Apple has been a consumers company from day one and all its design and innovation work has served to position Apple in the front of the pc industry, Apple sales have skyrocketed every single quarter, but silently the enterprise sale has been not so excellent, Apple has managed to make son inroad into Business America and now that Windows Vista has been a fiasco, a large number of IT managers have started to look to Mac OS X and Mac as a solid alternative to Microsoft failed upgrade. But for Apple really make a huge progress into Businesses the easier, smarter and riskier thing to do is to set free Mac OS X Server and let it runs on every single machine on the planet. Apple won't lose anything, this is a win-win situation and OS X Server won't ever cannibalized the Consumer version and will provide fresh cash and market share immediately.

Mac OS X Server has a cheaper price against Windows Servers and is easier to use and more solid and virus proof ...

Categories: Audio, Mac Hardware, accesories

Today at CeBIT, Logitech unveiled the company’s first wireless stereo headset designed for Internet calling with a PC: the Logitech® ClearChat PC Wireless™ headset. The ClearChat PC Wireless headset combines high-performance stereo audio with 2.4 GHz wireless technology, allowing people the freedom to move around when they make VoIP calls – no wires attached. “More and more people are making voice calls over the Internet, but until now, they have had to choose between wired headsets that keep them tethered to their PCs or wireless headsets that offer poor audio and voice quality,” said Gina Clark, general manager and vice president of Logitech’s Internet Communications business unit. “With the Logitech ClearChat PC Wireless headset, people can make a PC call while grabbing a snack, sitting on the couch or leaning back in their chair – PC calling has never been so convenient and never sounded so good.” The Logitech ClearChat PC Wireless enables people to move freely up to 33 feet (10 meters) from their computer.

Apple next move should be about Smart TV

Categories: Apple, Application, Mac Hardware, Sotfware, Youtube, internet, online

We all know the innovator in Apple, they can transform pure simplicity into marvel, why not apply this expertise to the TV. The Television as we know it hasn't changed in years, we have HDTV, LC TV, Plasma TV, but the concept it is the same, UP/DOWN, 1234567890, picture in picture and none of them have given a brain to the TV. The TV was the center of your home and lose its crown to the internet, which has displaced it and instead of merge those technologies, the TV has continued its long journey. What can Apple do? Imagine a TV interface based on Coverflow, where you can change your channels moving your fingers in your remote control trap pad, where you can freeze, transmit and record your favorite programs. Where if you listen a song in any commercial, the information about this song is automatically stored in a small area of your screen, where you can link from an ad to a web page just touching a button and where you just can rate, preview and recommend programs as we do in digg.com and others social sites. This is the television we deserve right now, Tivo has done a nice ...

Expect more trojans stories about mac

Categories: Application, Mac Hardware, Security, internet, online

There is not time to crash a party than in the begining of itsel.... Coincidence, every major Apple news there is something bad around or Microsoft manages to launch one of its products.... Now it is Leopard and a porno trojan that changes your mac ip address disguised as a codec... only if you let it, everytime a strange application tries to change your mac settings, Mac OS let you know, and only if you accept it as a valid application it proceeds. We are not talking about Windows, we are talking about your mac security and how people ignore everything about it, the mac security has worked for years and it is almost impossible to execute an application if you don't permit it manually, you, the owner of the mac, the user, somebody who has the control of the computer, in this case a mac. So everybody has been talking about how easy is for an internet trojan to runs in mac and they totally forget that (again) for this script/application to run it should be allow to do so... In the end what will really protect you is to think twice about what you do or where you ...

This has been a busy year for Apple, introducing the iphone, reporting strong mac sales, the Launch of Leopard, the Ipod Touch, what else is needed to be recognized as a great innovator? The big problem that Apple competitors are facing is that nobody knows Apple's next move.

6 days to show the world how Apple Works

Categories: Apple, Application, Leopard, Mac Hardware, Sotfware

With the next major upgrade to the Mac OS X, Apple will rocks the computing world and shows to its detractors how efficient and powerfull is the Apple machinery when it running at full power. With Leopard Apple will grab more marketshare from Windows because Vista hass been a train derailed with poor aceptance and sales, even traditional Windows fans have been recommending XP over Vista, confusing Vsita versions, too much money for what it offers and strange marketing pitch "WOW". The ball is in Apple court, everything has been orchestrated perfectly, recently Apple grabbed the 3rd spot in PC sales in the United States, marketshare grew to 8.1%, the iphone is selling like hotcakes, the ipods are doing fine and now the release of Leopard, the timing is the perfect to inflict more damage to Microsoft and its partners. Game and corporate sales are Apple Achille's heels and something dramatic should be done in those areas if Apple wants to keep growing, other product that needs Apple attention is AppleTV, this little box doesn't fit well in any Apple strategy or isn't clear for us. I think that Apple must transform it into a DVR in steroids or a ...
