Apple’s new Sonic Ad

June 10th, 2008

The new Ad from Logan, the folks who have been working with Apple creating all the latest (and in my opinion, greatest) vibrant iTunes/iPod adverts over the last year. The Ad also features one of my favourite bands Coldplay and a song off their new Viva la Vida album, which is out on Thursday. 

Watch the AD in HD here. I love it!

Something in the air

January 16th, 2008

The latest notebook offering from Apple has received a very rocky reception at it’s opening gala at MacWorld, and since then I’ve heard nothing but negative reviews and reports. What a shame, in my opinion Apple has once again released a innovative product which pushes computer users technologically forward, to start thinking about what is actually needed, what you can do without (iMac floppy anyone) and what truly matters.

A slim, lightweight, all-in-one notebook is just what the osteopath ordered, if like me, you constantly travel with a notebook companion. The weight is half of my MacBook Pro, with fast 802.11n wireless network access and the possibility of a solid state 64GB hard drive is what all mac-users have always wondered about since the days of RAM-disks in OS8. 

Am I going to buy one, probably not. The glossy screen and processor power doesn’t make for a day-in-day-out graphic workhorse. But for a budding journalist, my Mum or something lightweight for the little ones - its absolutely perfect.
