A quick roundup of the 6 Apple 2006 PC vs Mac adverts. Even if you’re a PC fan, it’s hard to resist liking these adverts.
Speaking of PCs, I’m getting a new one for my Birthday. Nvidia GeForce 8800GTS, 2GB RAM, Intel Core 2 Due E6600, Windows Vista Ultimate Edition, Office 2007, and a whole lot more… Weighs in at $3500!
She’s got it all right… And it seems she’s a rather popular YouTube actress… She hit you screens with the massively popular ‘Lonely Girl 15 Audtion’ you see below, and with ‘Peephole’, also below.
And the you have it… A girl with way to much time on her hands.
Photoshoppers… Get out your brushes. Nope. Apple haven’t given a drop-bomb hint on a new product in the works, but 100Worth is inviting you to concept design what you believe the next Apple product might be. My personal favourite, somewhat reminding me of the other days fiasco, the iPottie. Or in the UK, should we call it the iPotty? International grammar… Mad stuff.
And of course, if Apple were to do a re-make of the original Rubix Cube, making it white and slamming on a few Apple logos would definitely sell a few million. Imagine the slogan… 10,000 different combinations. 9,996 ways to complete it. How fast can you do it? The Apple iCube. See sense in life. Ironic coughing attack over… But seriously, some of these designs are inspiring and thought provoking. Companies should throw competitions like this once in a while, offering cash prizes for the winner(s). Who knows? Maybe they’ll become the next Apple? 
And before I go, the ingeniously named, iSmell. Click on all the pictures for bigger views.
Today, in an official Apple press release, it was announced that the iPhone is to incorporate some spiffy new features. I won’t rant and rave like usual, but I’ll let you check it yourself.
My favourite comment on YouTube? “This looks like a spoof to me” and another comment by someone either trying to be funny, or is just plain stupid. In it, they were discussing all of the features, and then asked why Apple said it was hard to use as a phone.
Some people these days! Good grief. When I were a lad…
It seems like these photos have been around for years, but only now, have any of the big blogs got wind of this! Engadget are reporting on what they claim is ‘quite possibly the most badass iPod case ever’.
Of course, we’ve seen Gameboy Emulators for the iPod and such before, but never actually an entirely styled iPod mod. Check all of the spiffy photos at Flickr!

Just after the blogosphere has recovered from the plethora of hype concerning the Macworld 2007 release of the iPhone, some credible sources are suggesting that Apple is planning an event this coming February in which some exciting new details and information on the Leopard OS development will be released. Stay tuned… I’ve got a feeling something big is coming. Okay, perhaps not half as big as the jazz concerning the iPhone, but any new major OS launch has to be big, right?
The Nike iPod Watch. It’s been in the news a heck of a lot lately, and it seems that just a few minutes ago, iLounge got themselves some exclusive photos and details on the gadget.
Owners of non-Nano iPods (or those of you yet to get an iPod), will most likely be looking forward to the launch of Nike’s Speed+ watch, which will, according to Gizmodo, “save you the trouble of buying another iPod”. On top of the Speed+ watch, it has been reported that Nike has three other watches in the making, to go along nicely with their new range of gadgets.
The first one, Nike’s so called Flight+, will have a release date of May 1st, and will retail for around $129. “The volume and track controls are built into a ‘rocking bezel’ around the Electroluminiscent backlit screen”. The watch will be available in two colors, each able to “play back the Nike + iPod voice feedback”.
The second device retails for $50, coming in at just $79. The lower-end ‘bracelet’, known as Amp+, has a simple in-built LED display, which can either show the current time, or the status control for your iPod. Some sources also cite that there is a possibilty that an iPod shuffle control pad will come included, allowing you to “adjust volume, playback, or call up the Nike Sport kit stuff”. Also retails on May 1.
The third one, Aero+, appears to be an exact replica of Flight+, except it is modeled and coloured to appeal more to the male audience that Flight+ doesn’t grab. Aero+ is alot less feminine looking, and comes in two colors also. Same launch date as the others, and like Flight+ is also set to retail for $129.

A great new Apple advert. I wish they’d elaborated more on all the different features though. I really have to go and get myself a MacBook Pro now… That said, Vista isn’t all that bad. Infact, with readyboost, it’s great! But Macs are still more user friendly.
And while I’m here, here’s an old-time favourite.
They really have a talented team at Mac. Kudos to you! Pity that the same can’t be said about Microsoft… O_o Or maybe that’s just Ballmer.
Utter rubbish… I’ve been very pro-Microsoft lately, and am even going out my way to get myself Vista Ultimate edition, but this, is ridiculous. ‘People won’t buy the iPhone because it has no keyboard’. Steve Ballmer? Are you listening? Are you stupid!?!? Seriously… You will regret it when the iPhone becomes the best-selling phone in the world, and judging by the hype, the stats, and the people I know (Even those who don’t have iPods! =O Shock horror!) are raving about the iPhone.
‘Apple is selling zero phones a year.’ Genius this guy… Think he’s realized they’ve not launched yet? “He lies right out his own ass on numbers regarding the Zune, saying it has 25 percent of the high-end MP3 player market (over $250).” Too right… And Steve Ballmer, can you say to me with a straight face that you truly believe that you will ever overthrow the iPod? Please… People will buy the latest iPod, because it is the iPhone… People will buy the iPhone, because it rocks! Apple have the upperhand by far when it comes to design, and the best Microsoft can do, is give us photos of toilets… Sheesh!
In addition, Ballmer raves about how ‘expensive’ the iPhone is… Reckon he’s seen the spec sheet? For what it does, it massively eclipses all the other current MS offerings by far, on the bang for buck ratio, the overall appeal, and the general snazzyness factor.
Heck… I’m still up for Vista thought. But keep the Zune out of it! My mobile devices all belong to Apple. The best thing about it from Bill Gates’ point of view? He’s still making several hundred dollars a second. Perhaps I should stop writing, and starting begging him… I know he’s on my Skype list somewhere… Ah yes! Right above Colbert Low, and below Amit Agarwal. Sourced from CrunchGear.
I dare say that message containing the words ‘Apple’ and ‘Linux’ are marked as spam amongst the 620,000 other odd messages he receives every day. Dilbert doesn’t care though, and manages to make a very funny scene out of it. But seriously guys… I think Bill Gates is better than he seems.
In other news, Robert Scoble said this about me… ‘You write extremely well for a 12-year-old. I was reading your blog and not realizing your age. My son just turned 13 and he doesn’t write this well.‘ Cool, huh? That said, I turn 13 this coming February. Anyone got any suggestions on what I could ask for? Anyone feel like giving me anything? ;) Feel free to drop me an e-mail at David [at] Techzi [dot] net
