Thanks to my good friend Juan, I got myself a Time Capsule (which I’ll be calling TC from here on out). Finally, I’m now able to make good on that last thought I had in an old post.
Macbook Air
Sweet Jesus, this thing is fucking sexy! If it weren’t for the price, I’d definitely spring for one in a heartbeat (and probably get my GF one as well).
Agent18 Eco Shield
One of the dilemmas users of Apple products often find themselves in is how to effectively protect a product while retaining most of its aesthetics. Take for example the Macbook Pro. Lovely aluminum finish, but also very prone to oxidation issues on the wrist area. Is putting a Marware wrist rug worth the sacrifice of the laptop’s aesthetic? How ’bout an overall laptop hardcase? Only if it’s clear perhaps
This concern extends to just about any cool-looking gadget, and I found myself facing the same dilemma with regards to my iPhone. I ended up ordering an Agent18 Eco Shield, and I have to say, it’s one of the most balanced cases out there.
Dear Apple
I had prepared a post regarding the whole issue about Apple’s 1.1.1 firmware – how it’s affecting the developer community, which arguments I thought were reasonable or not, but ultimately I really can’t find anything to pin Apple with. Legally, Apple was within it’s rights in doing whatever they did. In fact I think it was even courteous of them to WARN people with hacked phones that 1.1.1 would probably brick their phone.
Still, I can’t help but share the grief and disappointment of the hacking community, but that disappointment is akin to a person hoping for a favor from someone else for old times sake and not getting it, rather than someone expecting a service as a right.
I’m talking about how Apple started flagging iPhones with hacked basebands in their 1.1.1 update – and denied service of those units. While they have the right to do whatever the hell they wanted to their product, one couldn’t help hoping Apple didn’t do what they just did.
Even if we are the minority, we, the gearheads, the geeks, the nerds; are the people who our friends and family come to and ask for recommendations regarding what gadget would suit them. While we do not represent the overall “market” of Apple, we do like to think that we try our best to make the world a little better by pointing everyone we know (or anyone who looks up to us) to Apple products.

An apple a day…
No, this isn’t about Apple Inc. Instead this is some text copied verbatim from this article. Pretty interesting.
“An apple a day keeps the doctor away”… but why? Do you really know what makes an apple so special? Why is it that we never hear an orange or a banana a day keeps the doctor away? Apples have properties that no other fruit have and its benefits have been proven overtime. You will be able to get the benefits of these properties individually with other fruits, but an apple combines everything and makes it simpler. It has been shown over and over that if it’s not simple, easy and fast, people won’t take care of their health.
