Don't Clutter, Buy a Mac
Tuesday, August 07, 2007

Yes. Its all up there right in front of you. Apple released the latest version of their Mac today - a new Keyboard as thin as a cardboard, glass monitors. The HDD, CD/DVD drives, USB ports, firewire ports, jack for speakers/headphones, built in camera, microphone - everything's there in the pic you see above.

The standard version of Mac includes the following -

1 Gig memory (SDRAM)
Whopping 250 Gig - Hard Drive
2.0 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo processor
8x DVD, CD +RW
20" widescreen LCD

Whoa !!

And if you get their bluetooth Keyboard and Mouse, you'd have just one power cord - the one that plugs in your monitor/CPU

What a week
Tuesday, June 12, 2007

Quite a happening week I'd say, not only in this part of the world but the Asian subcontinent had a fair share -

Entertainment

The much awaited finale of 'The Sopranos' was deemed as the final whack. Though, I've heard a lot about the series, didn't quite want to watch the series. When the screen suddenly went blank towards the end, many people went insane. Started jabbing buttons on their remote control, yelling while panicking and even checking their cable connection to make sure that the screen indeed "went blank". They said -

That was the ending of “The Sopranos”?

That?

The Hilton-going-to-jail saga came to an abrupt end and was aired by news channels throughout the evening. So much for CNN and Larry King and the Daily news channels providing news from across the country US. I think I will stop watching CNN one of these days. Larry even aired interviews and had his typical set of questions - oh well!

Conan O'Brien has a smart way of putting things and mentioned that she was dearly missing her facial cream which left her skin dry - sob sob.

Technology

Apple iPhones are finally to hit the market on the 29th. They've come up with some good promotional ads - see them here.

They've also come up with SAFARI for windows .... mmmmmmm

Also - the new leopard's out there. Trying to conquer time and space.

Sports

Nadal once again proved that he's the best on Clay. Fedex delivery did not reach Roland Garros for the 3rd year in a row. I think the window is now closing for Fedex, if he's not able to life the trophy in the next 2 years, he's done. Deprived of the French Open like so many tennis greats!

Graeme Ford did the right thing by slapping BCCI on its face. He was offered the position of Indian Cricketing coach which he rejected the very next day. The series of embarrassments continue after India's early exit from the WC, this time its the BCCI to blame. They should seriously revisit the terms and conditions they put forward while on a Coach hunt.

Walt Disney announced that they would be acquiring 'Cricinfo'. Tough to digest but they are staring to venture out of their traditional - American football, Baseball, Basket ball & NASCAR.
