First, I hate the fact that this guy has a faster Internet than I do.
Second, I know that he is a slacker, and why would he need such Internet service.
Third, Slayer is Fast and Evil.
Fourth, he sent me the screen capture:
I’m With The Rock Band
I played Rock Band for the first time, thanks to some friends who just got it along with a brand new PlayStation 3.
Wishing for MacBook Pro Quad Core (2008)
Back in January 2008, a cryptic message from an imaginary source who was allegedly working for Apple hinting at redesigned MacBook Pro. Although no time table was revealed, the information pointed out that the next iteration of MacBook Pro would benefit from the not yet released technology from Intel sometimes in 2008.
Then. I was hoping that the new MacBook Pro would sport the new technology and new design. The current MacBook Pro design borrows a lot from the 17-inch PowerBook G4. As a matter of fact. All current Apple’s MacBook ad MacBook Pro has the somewhat “dated” look.
Rumors about the new MacBook Pro design hit the series of tubes a few week prior. Intel’s announcement on their quad-core mobile processors fueled the speculations even more.
In addition to that, during Apple’s earning conference call a new mystery product was mentioned. A product that competitors can match. A product that would be sold at a lower profit margin. Apple already has the product and it is ready for launch in several weeks if they chose to do so.
I for one hope that the Apple would release the newly redesigned MacBook Pro with quad-core processor at a lower price point.
In addition to that, Apple has been working on a new Mac model to fill in the gap in their product line. Somewhere in between the iMac and the Mac Pro.
Another completely unfounded rumor us that Apple is looking into partnerships with one or more major PC manufacturers for a Mac related product. Please take this one with a truck-load of salt. For now, it is a part of Apple branding strategy.
Sifting through the rumors, I am still waiting for the newly redesigned MacBook Pro to replace the original MacBook Pro Core Duo.
I’m Living On The Edge
So, it has been 10 something days living with the iPhone 3G. It is not without flaws, but overall it has been a positive experience. I am usually roaming around the area where 3G coverage is available. Once in a while, I noticed where the 3G signals disappeared and forced me to be living on the Edge. To be honest, it is not a horrible experience on the Edge network. After all, I had the original iPhone for a little more than a year on the Edge network.
In addition to all of that, I had answered two emails prior writing this post. Here I go sending a tiny picture and this posting through the Edge network.
Currently Playing:
Aerosmith – “Living On The Edge”
from “Get A Grip“
What Do You Mean I Ain’t Got Quartz Extreme?
Just a little glitch with Mac OS X after applying some iLife ’08 updates. For some reasons Quartz Extreme supports disappeared from the system. Everything went back to normal after I rebooted the MacBook Pro.
Metallica: Death Magnetic Track Listing is Revealed
Metallica has revealed “Death Magnetic” track listing in running order:

- Cyanide
- The Unforgiven III
- The Judas Kiss

——-
Editorial:
“The Unforgiven III” is in the record. What happened? No “Fade To Black II” or sequel to any other songs? “The Unforgiven II” was a nice follow up to the original. We’ll have to wait to hear Act 3 of the saga.
I thought I was reading “This Was My Life” as the first track of the record. It is actually “This Was Just Your Life.”
Anyway, I am looking forward to listening the record.
Aperture Update is Imminent
According to a completely imaginary source from Apple (no, it’s not Phil Schiller), Apple is set to release update for Aperture in the near future. Based on the fake informations, the update will address some stability and compatibility issues.
Take that, Scott Bourne! (Last time I heard, he likes using Aperture.)
