MacWorld 2009? 2010?
As most of you probably have already seen, The Simpsons parodied our favorite company on Sunday, and to great extent. You can check it out for yourself (Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4) at Hulu. Below are the quotes I found the funniest.
1. “I never thought a company could be my soulmate!”
2. “Don’t ask what MyCube can do for you, ask what you can do for it”
3. “How dare you question the leader we fired 10 years ago and then brought back!”
4. “Your heart is blacker than your turtleneck”
5. “Steve Mobs, he’s a genius! He’s like a God who knows what we want!”
More notable however was Bart Simpson’s use of a multi-touch computer that appeared to represent a future iMac. Lisa’s MyPod Touch also ditched the home button, instead boasting a full screen interface (read more). Perhaps they know so
- The Best iPhone ApplicationsNovember 30
-
Going through my 9 pages of apps today (and many more sitting on my computer), I couldn’t help but wonder if there were any gems that I was missing. I’ve decided to ask the readers of Mac Soda to post their favorite iPhone Applications in the comments. There are only two rules you have to follow. First, you cannot post an application from the Jailbroken world: it must be available on the App Store. Second, you cannot post an application someone else has already posted. The ultimate goal of this is to comprise a master list of the best iPhone applications available.I’ll kick things off, with Crash Bandicoot, Facebook, Flick Bowling, and Shazam. Now its your turn.
- 2.1 Update: A Feature No One Mentioned!November 27
-
Yes, I was too lazy to flip the image around...
iPhone updates come and go, and every added feature is detailed as thoroughly as can be, leaving no features undiscovered. Today, finally having the time to update to 2.2 (I’ve been really busy this week… sorry for the lack of posts), I discovered one small UI improvement to iPhone OS, and that’s the update progress. Before, the Apple logo would stay on the screen flashing on and off with no indication of how much time remained. Now, Apple has added a progress bar to inform you just how far you are through the update. The geniuses at Cupertino have worked their magic once again!
What’s that you say? Who cares? What’s the point of this useless blog post? Can’t you think of anything better to write? To all those I answer no. No one cares. There is no point. And no, I can’t think of anything better to write. Sure I could write about Black Friday sales, or wish everyone a happy thanksgiving like every other mac blog on the planet, but I feel that the 2.1 inclusion of a progress bar to track your updating status is much more important!
- New Apple Ad: MehNovember 24
-
Apple tonight released an advertisement in which they tout how environmental friendly the new MacBooks are. While I guess the ad is all fine and dandy and it will appeal to the environment nuts, I feel that they could have created a better commercial for the new MacBooks. Consider the MacBook Air’s “New Soul” commercial: it was a classic advertisement with a Billboard topping song. This advertisement resembles an HP commercial more than an Apple commercial.The Mac Soda can is half empty on this one.
