  Apple finally unveiled their new MacBook and MacBook Pros this week.  I've got a 6-month old 13-inch MacBook, am I jumping for joy... nah.  If I had waited 6 months more, I'd have this new baby with me today. But anyway, I am happy with what I've got, and will most probably keep my eye on the Macbook developments until next year... when I finally can afford an upgrade! If you're just in time for an upgrade, lucky you.  The new MacBook and MacBook Pro line sports a very handsome finish.  It somehow shows me a hint of the the MacBook Air design.  Cool aluminum finish with backlit keyboards.  Under the hood are significant improvements in hard ...

  The new iPod Nano is nothing to sneeze at... really!  Just when I thought the Nano series has hit a brick wall in development, it has made a come back... a whopping comeback.  Kudos to Steve Jobs and his hard-working team.  I really thought that the iTouch series has taken over.  But it really is a product where it still makes a firm territory of its own. What territory is that you say?  I believe the iPod Nano and iPod Touch are quite similar in a lot of sense... but one things where it's not is... SIZE and PORTABILITY. The iPod Nano is still a class of its own.  Forget the iPod Shuffle as it is ...

  OK, now for those who's really REALLY disappointed with their new iPhone 3G's due to sooo many hicups and snags... well, here's another iPhone ap which I'm not really sure "helps" at all.  From a DVice lead, I found out iBeer 2.0 from hottrix.

Brew and drink beer on your iPhone and iPod touch.  This hilarious sight-gag is fully interactive and behaves like a real glass of beer thanks to the iPhone sensors and our spare time. Tilt to sip, shake for foam, even pour iBeer from iPhone to iPhone.

It is available for download via iTunes, and believe it or not, they're asking money for it!  US$2.99 will give you your ...

  I've heard of wild Apple-love but I think this takes the cake and runs-off with the bride altogether!  German Jewelry designer Andi Monn knows there's a clan, wait... batallions, of pumped up cool aid fanatics out in the open that's just waiting to gulp whatever to flash even more "I love Apple" thingamajigs.  The Apple Bluetooth Headset couldn't be more cooler?  Well it could!  Check out this metal jacket/sleeve that's just too a perfect fit.  Made of sterling silver or high-grade brushed steel and costs a land-shaking US$253.  Now does that shout "I Love Apple" or what?  Boy it's more expensive than the Apple's Bluetooth Headset.  It can be made of gold, platinum or other expensive ...

GeekSugar mentions on their website that there is a large possibility that the iMac will get a processor speed bump PLUS an increase in hard drive space across all iMac models.  This is extremely good news!  The iMacs has been very popular these past few months with all its current specifications.  Feature boosting it further will surely give the 1-2-3 K.O. punch, making the A+ grade like the previous feature boosts of the Macbooks. While it doesn't sound to be a huge overhaul (the upgrade to Penryn processors like the Macbook & Macbook Pro), it still is a welcome surprise to those who'd be getting their Moms a surprise for the coming Mother's Day.  Yeah, I ...

Here's a good case made by the GeekSugar.com blog (http://www.geeksugar.com/1550696), and is exactly what I have thought of regarding Apple's mighty mouse.  I've contemplated on getting one unit for 6 months already, but everytime I see a great deal from ebay.com, amazon.com, bestbuy.com or even apple.com I just can't seem to click that "BUY NOW" button.  I ended up (three times) getting an A4Tech mouse for both my brand new Macbooks. Yeah, I did give the Mighty Mouse a good try, I liked how it fits my hand.  I also liked the small scroll button (although I know I'd get tired of it soon), but over all, i'd give it a fair mark.  I'm ...

Have you ever been in love? I have. And the moment I stepped out of that room, I felt so giddy, and there was a silly grin on my face, and all I could blabber was, “Have you ever been in love?” I walked through the streets in a daze, and I knew that I was virtually afloat, because I know have found my match.

Before I go on to the meat of my story, Lessons We Can Learn from Steve Jobs, I’d like to share something funny that I found as I was sifting through fodder for this article: According to this ZDNet article, one of the bullet points of the How to Design a Great User Experience manual for Windows Vista Developers says:

“Don’t be annoying.”

And I like Jason D. O'Grady & David Morgenstern’s retort even better:

"What OS are these guys using again?"

:D Okay, enough fanboy/fangurl humor, on to the heart of the matter.

When it comes to gadgets and products, Apple seems to be synonymous with “sleek” and “stylish.” In fact, Apple Inc.’s products had become so synonymous with style that everything from the iPod to the Macbook Pro to even the Mac Pro, had become a status symbol in itself.
