First tech story of 2009: MacWorld

Well MacWorld is here, but Steve Jobs isn't. This doesn't mean that there aren't any new news from Apple. Quite the contrary, according to the MacWorld keynote, what was new from Apple was their 17-inch thinnest and lightest MacBook Pro which is the thinnest in the world (according to them). They also did some stuff to make the battery last longer. Another new thing that Apple announced was that iTunes is going DRM-free.

Even though if this year's MacWorld doesn't seem as glitzy and glamorous as previous years (like the iPhone and MacBook Air), this Apple gadget that didn't make it to MacWorld hopefully will make up for it.


Apple Introduces Revolutionary New Laptop With No Keyboard

Look ma, no keyboard!

Next tech story, CES in Las Vegas happening this week.

World's thinnest laptop: MacBook Air

It was bound to happen, the world's thinnest laptop. And who better to unveil it than Apple, the undisputed leader in innovation. Apple has done it again, and constantly raises the bar on technology, ease of use, and innovation. It just boggles my mind at how quick Apple releases their products at least once or twice a year. Anyways, here's the MacBook Air.



Just joking, that really is not the MacBook Air, but it is funny though! Here is the real MacBook Air from MacWorld 2008.

And here is the ad that Apple has on the MacBook Air:



I can't believe it, 13.3 inch screen! This could replace my laptop, maybe this might be my new laptop! But it's so thin I wonder if the laptop will become really hot on my lap, because if it's so thin, how can they fit the cooling fan? I just checked on the Apple Canada's web site, and it's going for $1899. Sure, it's more expensive than other laptops, but wait later, and the price will drop down. Maybe my next laptop will be the MacBook Air, then I can run both MacOSX and Windows.

Under the hood of the Apple iPhone

It was just a matter of minutes before the first pics of the inside of the Apple iPhone was revealed. These are really the true engineers and geeks! Of course, by doing so, they voided the Apple warranty, and some even made the iPhone unable to use. What a waste of $500 US to void the Apple warranty.

Anyways, I found pics of the inside of the Apple iPhone from ThinkSecret from the box, to opening the box and revealing the accessories, to taking apart the iPhone. They reveal the secret components that make the Apple iPhone work. Interesting. And also, Steve Jobs announced that all Apple full time employees get a 8GB iPhone for free! Man, that makes me wish I worked at Apple!!!

The wait is over, iPhone is here!

It's finally arrived, the moment we've all been waiting for. It's a bird, it's a plane, no it's the Apple iPhone! Here's the frenzy when the San Francisco Apple store opened its doors at 6 pm tonight to eagerly awaiting customers in line:



So I wonder what Americans will be playing with this weekend? And you know there's going to be lots of videos, commentary and blogs from those that just bought the iPhone, to see really the real scoop on the iPhone, and if it's really as good as what Apple and Steve Jobs says. It will work only work with the Apple MacOSX, Apple probably has something in the works to sync with Windows, just like they did when iPod first came out.

It will be interesting to see how iPhone will stack up in sales with the rest of the other phones. However, I think that Apple has a ways to go before they can significantly get a good share of the cell phone market. I still think it is too expensive. Well, time will tell sure enough.

iPhone comes out today!

People are lining up left, right and center to get their hands on the Apple iPhone. According to this article, AT&T is limiting one iPhone per customer, whereas Apple is limiting two iPhones per customer. Some are buying the iPhone and then selling it up on eBay and taking the proceeds for charity, which I think is smart. David Clayman is just doing that and he's blogging his experience in lining up for the iPhone, he's #2 in line at Apple's SOHO location.

Here's the first 10 people lining up at Apple's SOHO location:
