Welcome to my weblog, which I use for keeping track of interesting stuff. It serves as my basecamp for the exploration of the Internet, the "Blogosphere" and life in general.
Having a PC that is ready for replacement (5 years is long I guess), I recently was attracted to Apple products, especially the new iMac with the 24 inch screen.
Why? Well to be honest, first of all I am a gadget and technology person, so shouldn’t I at least try an Apple product once in my life? Of course these Apple products look really nice and come bundled with all kind of nice user friendly software! And there is the advantage of stability, people always talk about (Apple fans at least). I was put off by Windows platform a bit by all the negative news around Vista recently.
A couple of days ago I watched the recent famous Apple Product presentation, also called “One last thing…”, because of the surprises that often happen.
This one was over 1 hours and 15 minutes long, but again worth it all the way. I really love the smooth presentation style of Steve Jobs that perfectly fits with the Apple brand. And although I do not own one single Apple product, every time a watch such a presentation, I get very tempted.
Well, according to the experts, there were no real surprises this year, except maybe the ITV, a device to wirelessly stream content from a Mac or PC to a TV set. All very nice looking stuff of course but what is so new about this and why did Apple not go all the way towards a real Mediacenter product?
You see the convergence towards getting all media and even the Internet to the big TV’s in the livingroom, something Robert Scoble has also been noticing for a while. I really like this trend. Think about playing Second Life on the big screen or all that nice Internet video content that is so much better and personal then regular TV stations nowadays have to offer!
