Jag vaknade runt 9-tiden och slog på Macbooken för att förbereda texterna till förmiddagsmötet i Pingstkyrkan (jag är en av de som sköter projektorn, visar sånger bland annat). Det tog inte så lång tid men i mitt trötta tillstånd tog jag det ganska lugnt och cyklade sedan iväg. Det börjar bli kallt nu såhär på höstkanten.

Senare på eftermiddagen så slängde min bror och jag in lite "Snabbpizzor" ( (C) Carina Karlsson ) i ugnen och åt oss mätta på det och GB's krämiga chokladglass (Kan jag få reklampengar för det här nu?). Kvällen dominerades av Team Fortress, Polly-godis och The Unforgiven III.

Ja Lars, jag stal din skiva. Men det är lugnt, jag köper den sen.

Svampplockning? Nej, det blev ingen. Både Sven och jag behövde vila efter gårddagens gjutning.

А в московской школе №2030 все учителя ведут уроки тоже с макбуками и ученики, конечно, не исключение. Причем, хоть на них и установлена Windows, большинство предпочитает Mac OS.

Да, жаль только, что на подобный уровень вышли только сейчас.

So my boyfriend began of great, i actually started living with his brother him and my friend Yasmin. I suppose everyone knew he liked me so a month or so after that we began dating. everything was great, then he began checking my phone and computer, if i had called anyone he would yell at me, if i had photo's of my X he would get upset. anyways later on he ended up breaking my phone in half and breaking my sim card so i couldnt call anyone anymore.

There have only been 3 physical incidents, the first of which i packed my things and was going to leave. but of course everyone intervened and made promises. it was nothing serious but still, so i changed the password on my laptop and when i refused to tell him (but offered to let him use it) he smashed my lag with the laptop and threw it on the ground. thank god my MacBook is fine this is an expensive machine. 

He likes to take alot of drugs and get fucked up then get angry at me for any reason he can find. i am not allowed to have my own friends i cant go out without him unless to work. he even got a job 5 minutes walk away from mine. so he can come see me on my break and lunch time.

Once he began yelling at me while i was on my lunch break. while heading back to work he followed me and refused to leave screaming at me in the hallway. only the secretary knew, i even had to ask someone to call security. 

Most of our fights are over me and the way i am. of course everything is my fault, i am not allowed to have privacy any time he even come and opens the door to the bathroom while i am using it. im in another country far away from Canada and i have no family here. i am not to sure what to do since he kinda made it so i cant have my own friends.

We rented a car together while his is being fixed and he wont let me drive it anywhere even to go get some mcdonalds. i am never given a moment alone and if i bring up something he did to upset me. he makes a fight over something.

What to do what to do???

A short trip (well, it's not that short) to Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco reveals some clue on what the "Let's Rock" event is all about. Unfortunately, no products seems to be present at the venue today (Saturday). The imaginary Apple employee mentions that it is not all about the iPod, there's something more. As a matter of fact, Apple's creative team are currently brainstorming on a new catch phrase to replace the now classic "One More Thing" slogan. Allegedly, Steve Jobs would not do the "ultra-secret-encore" to introduce the new product if they can't come up with the new catch phrase. All I can say is: "WOW!"

I have about 24 more hours to sneak around and find out more about Apple "Let's Rock" event. I'll be reporting more fake rumors (*wink* *wink*) about the event soon.

All in all I was having fun using the iPhone on the Lombard Street just like what Apple did.

UPDATED: 2008.09.06 20:04 Pacific Time

En el evento tendremos varias sorpresas que incluyen iPods y un nuevo iTunes con toda seguridad. Se llevará a cabo este martes 9 de septiembre en el Yerba Buena Center for the Arts en San Francisco, California; los horarios son los siguientes:

10:00 horas en California
12:00 horas México
19:00 horas España
14:00 horas Argentina
18:00 horas en Canarias
13:00 horas Chile/Colombia
12:30 horas Venezuela

     I decided to look up my options and read through some forums where people recommended giving AppleCare a call and being polite and MAYBE they'll replace the computer at no cost. Skunkie also suggested calling in hopes that I wouldn't have to make the two hour trip back down to town to the Apple Store. Well, most unfortunately they were closed by the time I had a chance to call, so I was forced to ignore it for the time being. The next day, in the afternoon (after I had finished up my other errands requiring attention), I called Apple Care on up and explained to them what was going on. The lady was very polite and I was very patient and polite in return (I felt it wouldn't do any good to kick and scream, beside, that's not my style anyway). She was kind enough to approve a replacement. The was, of course, that I had to make the two hour trip back down to the Apple Store I had purchased from. Bummer, but not.

     So that same day, the day after the original 4hrs of traveling time for the first MacBook, I made a 2hr drive down. Before leaving my house I made sure to book a Genius appointment like the AppleCare lady recommended. I was scheduled for the last time slot available. Anyway, I got there early and, naturally, they were very busy (which didn't surprise me considering that classes were going to start the next day). I waited around until my appointed time and then sat down with my Genius.

     He was pleasant enough at first I suppose. Though once I went into my spiel of having just bought the laptop the day before and there being a dead pixel in the middle of the screen, he seemed a bit less...well...pleasant. Then we turned on the laptop and he said that he didn't see anything. I spun the computer around and angled it so I could see the screen and immediately pointed it out to him. Such a small anomaly seemed to annoy him. Not because it was there, no, because I was sitting across from him essentially saying that this wasn't gonna work for me and that he had to follow through and replace the computer, because Apple Care already said they would. I understood his frustration, but I felt that he was unwilling to see my point of view. This is a brand new computer that I spent over a grand on (not to mention it was my latest in many a line of Apple products) and I expected quality products from a company that emphasized quality. Instead he lectured me about the impossibility of making an utterly flawless machine. I am so far, with my two experiences, I am UNimpressed with the Apple Geniuses.

     All the sales people I had to deal with in this quick two-day adventure to Macland were very nice and helpful. Even the sales guy that had to handle the exchange of my first purchase for a new one. That guy was extremely polite and well mannered despite the difficulty they had in doing the unconventional exchange. He even let me open up and start the new one to make sure there weren't any problems, despite the fact that they were already closed. I was the last customer out of there that evening.

      All in all I was happy with their accommodating attitudes and the fact that Apple was willing to work with me and replace the laptop. So, I, crazily enough, got two new MacBooks in two days. Granted I only kept one and paid for one, but still, it was an odd feeling. This post, as oppose to my last "Can you believe it...?", was typed on my new new MacBook. It has been a couple weeks so far and things have been awesome. It is really convenient to have it with me nearly everywhere I go, especially at work. While at first it was disappointing to get home and find that itty bitty stuck pixel, I was very pleased with Apple's handling of it. As a result, I walked away with my new MacBook, still happy to have done business with Apple, despite the minor hang-ups.

     P.S. - When I get around to posting pictures of my MacBook, they will actually be of the initial Book and not the one I actually have, but I figured the effect would pretty much be the same. :)

Today I thought I might give my personal thoughts on Apple, Inc.  The stock has performed badly due to the recent turmoil (who hasn't?), particularly in the tech sector.  More recently: Dell selling its factories, Qualcomm, South Corea's techs also overflown with bad news, etc.  It is trading at just over $160.  

On September 9th Apple will probably unveil lots of products.   Following some deep research I came to the conculsion, that we will see a re-disgned iPod Nano (4th generation) and iPod Classic, a refresh for the iPod Touch followed by significant price drops to match the ones for the iPhone, a new iTunes version, said to deliver a better consumer exprience, a new MacBook/ MacBook Pro, featuring Intel's latest chipsets, new Apple screens, upgrades and price drops for the iMac series, MacBook Air, and maybe also for the Mac Mini.  The iPhone sales number and the ones of the iTunes Store (now also an 'App Store') will certainly surprise us all.

This, of course, sounds like a lot.  Apple has been expanding at an enormous rate.  Everything they did so far was a hit.  And that is what Apple's investors keep expecting.  Enough is not enough anymore, unless this new product is 'revolutionary'.  So, as the World Developer Conference in early 08 showed, even a new iPhone, in that case it was the 3G, disappointed investors, resulting in a 4% drop for the stock.

I still think that, if Apple is able to introduce those products I listed earlier, it will certainly result in a buy-buy momentum for the stock.  There's also the factor, that we might see some positive days, following those recent 'crashes' in the markets these days.  That's at least how we used to say.

The risk is that Apple might not able to refresh its laptop computers until later this month, due to production setbacks on Intel's side.  If anything else bad shows up, like a 'thinner-than-expected' not iPhone, but Steve Jobs, plan to see the stock price somewhere in the basement.  As you might have got to know lately, Steve Jobs is ill.  He had pancreatic cancer about 5 years ago he initially refused to fight with standards procedures (he used Asian meditation techniques instead).  Some journalists described Jobs earlier this year at Apple's latest conference, to have made a 'sick impression'.  This made investors very nervous.  Unlike any other firms out there, Steve Jobs IS Apple.  And Apple keeps those information extremely secret and undisclosed.  I cannot imagine that company without him.  Not with the stock trading at at least half of the actual price.

So, on September 9th, use one of those free live trackers of Apple's conference.  I would buy the stock now that it's trading low and sell during the conference if some of the products I told you about are not unveiled (or if Steve is in 'bad shape').  If Steve is healthy and there's lots of new things coming out than hold on to the stock for one more day.  Just enough for the usual 'Apple-hype' to reflect in the stock price.  Good luck!

Saweet search in google 3n el ipod touch o legeet hatha el macbook !! bss mafy shai rasmi o yesawoonha wallah apple :)

Nu verkar det i alla fall vara bekräftat att det kommer hände något i den stora Applevärlden på tisdag den 9 september, ska bli intressant och se vad det är som kommer hända. Det har ju redan läckt bilder på nya modellen av ipod nano, hittade denna bild hos macworld. jag hoppas att de släpper den nya modellen av "macbook" som det också var rykten om.

I installed the drive yesterday. A few months ago, I upgraded, downgraded, and re-upgraded my Macbook's RAM (long story), so I was no stranger to Macbook innards. However, being a software guy much more than a hardware guy, I always get a little nervous when I need to swap out any of my hardware.

I was pleased to discover that swapping out a Macbook hard drive is a piece of cake. Pulling the battery out gives you access to the RAM slots and hard drive's EMI (electromagnetic interference) shield. After that, it's just a matter of pulling out the shield, switching hard drives, and sliding everything back into place.

The software portion was just as simple. I just had to boot from my Mac OS X DVD and use it to restore my hard drive backup from Time Machine. The only problem I had was the fact that I couldn't seem to get the restore software to recognize my new hard drive, even though I had already reformatted it for the Mac. Eventually, I did a quick search online and discovered that the restore software apparently will not recognize a hard drive that doesn't have OS X installed on it. As a result, I installed a clean version of OS X onto the new hard drive, which took about an hour. After that, I rebooted from the install disc and, sure enough, my new hard drive showed up in the list. A long hour and a half later and all my data was successfully moved to its new, luxurious home.

Overall, I was pretty pleased with how smoothly the upgrade went. Once again, I've gotta give props to Apple for making their hardware and software so simple and user-friendly.

I also am working on ideas for merch and what not.

My music may start having some vocals on it here and there but its still gonna stay mainly electronic and experimental.

Oh and last thing i will be in North Carolina on the 10th to see Alfred Darlington and Elliot Lipp in Charlotte.

Ora replica regalando iPhone o iPod Touch a 950 nuovi studenti della Abilene Christian University, università texana, come supporto all’istruzione in mobilità.

This is the first time a university and a wireless company have worked together to combine cutting-edge technology like iPhone 3G and education in a way that enhances students’ access to educational resources and their overall learning experience

Il succo del discorso di Adam Vital, vice presidente di AT&T Texas, è chiaro: permettere agli studenti di migliorare il loro accesso alle risorse educative.

Nel 2008, quando l’accesso alle informazioni è ormai completamente wireless, fornire degli strumenti del genere agli studenti è un’idea notevole.

Abbiamo visto come iPhone ed iPod Touch, con i programmi giusti possano essere una risorsa formidabile per la raccolta e l’elaborazione delle informazioni, grazie ad applicazioni come YouNote o EverNote. 
Tenendo poi conto che l’Abilene Christian University è come moltissimi campus iscritta al programma iTunes U per fornire l’accesso via podcast alla didattica ed alla cutura, la strategia di fornire gli iPod Touch e gli iPhone è vincente.
Forse scarsamente applicabile in un’Italia in cui i Dirigenti Scolastici storcono il naso all’idea di lasciar uscire le classi in visita d’istruzione la prima settimana di scuola.
Dato che l’istruzione in Italia è rimasta ferma ai tempi del libro Cuore, non possiamo aspettarci granché se non da pochissimi centri d’eccellenza.

Considerando l’attuale polemica per la presenza dei cellulari nelle aule d’esame per i test d’ammissione, ovviamente è troppo sperare che le amministrazioni italiane possano comprendere la portata dello strumento e le possibilità che fornirebbe a studenti ed insegnanti.

Non si pretende né si spera che vengano forniti strumenti come MacBook o iPod Touch ad ogni studente, ma sarebbe molto interessante se si potessero fornire in comodato d’uso agli studenti degli eeePc con Linux: avrebbero tutto il necessario per la ricerca di informazioni su internet, la rielaborazione di queste informazioni e la generazione di relazioni e ricerche. Mail, IM, software educativi vari esistono anche per Linux.

Se in una grossa scuola media o superiore si adottassero questi strumenti, sicuramente un acquisto in massa porterebbe il prezzo degli eeePc ad una cifra ancora più irrisoria di quanto già non siano.

Il costo, in questo caso, sarebbe ancora meno un problema.

travesseiro, chamada Napbook. De acordo com Hafsteinn Juliusson, o criador da peça, o produto foi desenvolvido para "estudantes e executivos" e deve ser usado em aulas, reuniões de negócios ou no caminho para casa.

O Napbook é feito para que seja possível tirar um rápido cochilo em um lugar público de modo mais confortável. Dormindo sobre seu notebook, você reduz as chances de que ele seja roubado e transforme seu sonho em pesadelo. A pasta também ajuda a proteger o laptop de danos, já que é bem fofa. Infelizmente, é um produto feito à mão, a mala, segundo ele, está disponível apenas em uma loja de costura e na Apple Store de Reykjavik, a capital da Islândia. O preço não foi divulgado. – mas se você manja de linhas e agulhas, pode tentar fazer um. [Hafsteinn Juliusson via Craziest Gadgets viaCoolest Gadgets].

To get the grime and dirt (or coffee rings in our case!) off your Macbook, use Vanish. Her Macbook is now gleaming!

Then use a vacume cleaner to get the crumbs out!

Pues nada, aquí os dejo un video que demuestra la resistencia del material con el que esta hecho este increíble invento, se trata de una fina capa de poliuretano creada inicialmente para las hélices de helicópteros militares, lo mas interesante es que ahora esta tecnología ya se esta comercializando en un producto para proteger aparatos como el iPhone o el iPod hasta un MacBook o MacBook Air de posibles arañazos.

Hoy por fin tendré la oportunidad de probar este maravilloso invento en mis iPhones, el 2G y el 3G, según he leído por ahí es un poco rollo colocarlo, esta misma tarde intentaré ponerlo con la ayuda de mi gran amigo jolu (quien ha sido el que ha hecho el pedido) ya os mantendré informados de que tal van las cosas…

Despues de mi escapada por el internet, vuelvo con nueva informacion enseñandoles este novedoso explorador creado por la empresa internacional Google, lo que ha revolucionado la informatica desde su motor de busqueda que tan famosamente se ha hecho.

segun fuentes, 3.5 millones de personas han bajado este poderoso explorador el dia martes (dia de su lanzamiento en Buenos Aires, México, San Pablo, Estados Unidos y Europa...

Se rumora que este explorador tendra la habilidad de poder ser compatible con los archivos de Microsoft Office, es tipo Docs de Google, sin embargo ahora tendras la oportunidad de abrirlo en cualquier parte y deshacerte de ese molesto .docx o .xslx

Ahora tendra la rivalidad con Firefox, IE, Opera, entre otros, lo que llevara que Microsoft realize programas "mas complejos" para poder venderlos, porque ahora el software esta al alcance de todos.

Bajarlo??
