From Power Mac to iPad, a shift in mentality.

I started with a Power Mac


It was big


I wanted raw power and lots of expansion options, yanno to play Doom 2 on!







Then went dual Power Mac G4

Fear me!

Hear me roar!

Dual Processor Power, all that expansion, I'm gonna run the shit out of Diablo 2 on this!

And it looks pretty




Yanno what, the G5 iMac will give me plenty of oomph and it takes up way less space...


Yeah this feels...



this feels right.






Yanno what would be cool , if i could get that power in an even smaller package

i dont really need a 20" screen

and Dual Core Intel is fast enough for me

if i up the RAM I'll be fine and besides it's so portable








Hmm I'm leaving my laptop at home more and more now.

This iPhone does most of what I generally use my laptop for...

It looks awesome and is really portable


The touch UI is killer


it would be great if it had a bigger screen though....

BAM!

iPad 2!

Don't get me wrong i still want the mothership beast i can fire up to encode video, yanno that one time a year.

But for the most part, for what i do online, the iPad is more immersive, portable, organic and convenient  than my macs of yesteryear ever could be.

Steve Jobs at D8 Conference: Reality Distortion Field to Max Strength

The All Things Digital 8 conference is happening at the moment and last night Apple CEO Steve Jobs was interviewed.

His famous 'Reality Distortion Field' has never seemed so strong as by the end of it i found myself no longer wanting a Google TV , not caring about Flash on my phone and really wanting a Jesus Phone. He is clearly a skilled presenter and a cunning linguist.

Check the videos out for yourself....must resist urge to buy all things Apple.

iPhone OS 4: Does it tick all the boxes?? (Updated)

So all the drama of the iPhone OS4 announcement is over, lets have a look at the 7 major features 'tentpoles' and see if non-believers will be swayed...

Apple and Microsoft: The battle of one-upmanship

So the iPad landed in the states on Saturday and every tech blog is saturated with news of Apple's latest technological savior. This all came after Microsoft took MWC by storm by announcing Windows Phone 7 (official new name). However, just when the news from Cupertino & Redmond looked to be slowing down Apple and Microsoft have both announced press events in the next week....

Apple becoming the company they were born to hate??

On April 3, 2010 Apple will introduce iPad. And you’ll see why 2010 will be like 1984....

iPad, the Wii of the personal computer world??

Well the dust has settled on the most recent 'game-changer' from Apple and there are a lot of mixed views out there. Is this device 'insanely great' 'magical' or is it just a big iPod Touch. While these are the questions being asked at the moment, it got me thinking that perhaps most of us are missing the point and this 'third category' of device is exactly that, a new category.
From my last post on Nintendo, it got me thinking that there are many similarities in the business model of the Japanese gaming giant and Apple...

Why I don't have a Jesus phone

Why I don't have a Jesus Phone

As another overhyped Apple product launch approaches, where the mythical tablet is due to be announced, most likely forever changing our lives and making them better in ways we didn't know we wanted; I thought it would be a good time to stand against the Jobs 'Reality Distortion field' and explain why I don't have a Jesus Phone and what needs to happen in iPhone OS4 to not only catch up with the competition, but make me want to buy one....
