Surface commercial all about the click

Microsoft has launched their commercial ahead of public release for the Surface, and the entire commercial is about how the keyboard "clicks" with magnets onto the device itself.

At least it's more entertaining to watch than the other they released earlier in the day.

The Surface goes on sale October 26th.

Continuing to sell the old iPod touch is nothing new

A lot of people seem to be complaining online about the 5th generation iPod touch being sold in only 32GB and 64GB sizes, which makes the starting price $299. But if anyone remembers, Apple did the same thing when they sold the 3rd generation iPod touch. The 2nd generation was still selling in 8GB, and if you wanted a 3rd generation it was 32GB for $299 or 64BG for $399. The SAME prices the 5th generation iPod touch is selling for.

Although back then it led to a little bit of confusion as those that weren't aware thought that their 8GB device was a 3rd generation when it really wasn't. (I had to correct quite a number of people that insisted their 8GB iPod touch was not a 2nd generation product)

This time around, it's not as confusing. 4th generation has a 3.5" screen, 5th generation has a 4" screen.

So now can people stop complaining about pricing? If you think an iPhone 5 is "cheaper" then go for it. But keep in mind that with the data fees, it's actually way more expensive. I still think "iPhone 5" is a stupid name, it's the 6th generation iPhone.

One year anniversary of the death of Steve Jobs

Today marks the one year anniversary of a visionary, Steve Jobs. If you currently go to Apple.com you'll be treated with a memorial video followed by some text from Tim Cook which reads:

A message from Tim Cook, Apple’s CEO.

Steve’s passing one year ago today was a sad and difficult time for all of us. I hope that today everyone will reflect on his extraordinary life and the many ways he made the world a better place.

One of the greatest gifts Steve gave to the world is Apple. No company has ever inspired such creativity or set such high standards for itself. Our values originated from Steve and his spirit will forever be the foundation of Apple. We share the great privilege and responsibility of carrying his legacy into the future.

I’m incredibly proud of the work we are doing, delivering products that our customers love and dreaming up new ones that will delight them down the road. It’s a wonderful tribute to Steve’s memory and everything he stood for.
