New Get-A-Mac TV Ad is bugged, or not?

I’ve just watched the new Apple’s Get-A-Mac TV Ad called “PR Lady” and I believe there is something a little wrong with that. The show is OK, but at the end, when the iMac appears, the logo on it’s front side is white and not black as it should be.

So, this is a “bug” , a new iMac model or an easter egg?

Ultra-portable Apple notebook is on the way!

AppleInsider is reporting that according to their internal sources at Apple, the long time rumored apple-ultra-slim-sub-notebook will make its debut at the Macworld Expo (Jan/2008). I believe the rumors are true, so I am not buying a new laptop this year. Tickets for San Francisco, please.

Nokia N95 8GB prices hiking more than petrol

Last week I’ve checked Amazon for the new Nokia N95 8GB black (a.k.a the iPhone killer) and the price was U$ 699.05 with a delivery wait of 2-4 weeks. Yesterday the price hiked to U$ 745.00 and there were only 3 units remaining. 24 hours later the 3 units were sold and the price has reached U$ 849.99!

The Nokia’s phone may be a better investment than Google’s stocks or a barrel of petrol. :)

Apple neglets 90% of the world

apples_world.gif

The image above shows exactly how Apple Inc. sees the world. If you mark on the
map (in red) the countries where they operate an online store and have an active
presence in retail, you will notice that they are ignoring 90% of the “rest” of the world.

I really don’t understand why Apple is not paying more attention to emerging
economies like the BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India and China) block. They also ignore
entirely continents like South America, Africa and most of Asia.

Oh! Wait! Actually Steve Jobs’ company runs an office in Brazil, and they also keep an outdated web site in Portuguese. So, why I have to wait 2-3 months to
get the latest releases? Why Leopard is just arriving Nov 16th at my “authorized retail” ? Why I have to pay 2 times the street price plus taxes? Well, I truly believe no one can answer all this questions. Apple won’t because they doesn’t care at all.
