Client Work vs. Internal Projects
I guess I’ve always known this; but it’s never really hit me until today. Maybe the reason that I’m able to wrap my head around it, is because it’s finally affecting me full force.
I’ve been working with a New York development firm for a few months now. We’ve been working on ways to expand our […]
Outdated Education
Does anyone get the feeling that the way we approach education is completely wrong now a days? Although I think what I’m about to say can apply to the entire world, I’m sure it’s not true every where and since I don’t know the entire world, I’m going to focus on the United States education […]
Social Geek
As a self described geek, and mac fanboy for that matter, I can’t stand the Geek stereotype. I get excited over new cool gadgets, sure, but it’s just an interest of mine. I know Saverio feels the same way.
Saverio saw pictures of an episode of Diggnation at MacWorld where they showed the crowd, […]
Music Pirating Group “RNS” Ceases
One of the biggest thorns in the side of the RIAA announced recently that they were calling it quits. Not that we here at twenty08 would ever condone pirating music, this bit of news has been making it’s way around the internet. As of the time of this posting, there seems to be no real news as to why they decided to stop after 11 years of pirating, but they ended it with just a few words.
My Predictions for Leapoard
So everyone likes to make their predictions for the upcoming products, and while the iPhone has been in the news lately and it’s all the buzz; but I’m getting antsy waiting for the future of OS X and I honestly can’t wait for Leopard to come out. So what better way to soothe my patience than make my own predictions regarding the elusive Mac OS X Leopard operating system. So here goes nothing…
10 Responses in the iPhone and Apple’s Defense!
Alright, so after reading every blog in the world, I figured it was my turn to throw out some comments for Apple’s new iPhone.
First of all, I’m an Apple user. Let’s get that out of the way, and while my opinion may be biased, I’m just attempting to bring some reason to the table. I’ve had a PowerBook and an iMac and now I’m using a MacBook as my primary computer with a PowerMac at work (I know…I need a MacPro :) Maybe once Adobe releases all the new intel software for the Macromedia Suite). Anyway, I love all of them equally and not because I’m a FanBoy. I used to be a hardcore windows user. I hated the thought of switching platforms and I was not thrilled about leaving my beloved windows. That was until I saw the 2005 Keynote which introduced the new OS X Tiger. I fell in love, but I wasn’t ready to go drop $1500 on a laptop when I could get a high powered laptop that ran windows for $800. That all changed the day that my entire computer crashed and I said “F*ck It” and I went out and came home with my brand new PowerBook. That was by far the best move I’ve ever made when it comes to my computer career. I became a “Mac User”.
Anyway, I (like many others) was glued to MacRumorsLive.com as the keynote for MacWorld 2007 went on. I’ve been dieing for Apple to release a phone for the pure reason that I’m due for a phone upgrade in February and I’ve been contemplating getting a Blackberry for work purposes. As you can imagine, I was absolutely ecstatic. But why? Mostly because Apple released a product that beat it’s competitor and it was intuitive and smart and the features were well planned out.

My Box in a Box *Updated*
Viral Marketing at its finest. ![]()
If you no have idea who the girl is in the picture, get out from the rock you’re living under. She goes by “Bunny”, from “My Box in a Box”. Really, if you haven’t seen the video, go watch it. The video is relatively funny, I got a laugh. However, its spreading like wild fire, and people are send them money, etc. This is a media company, and it’s viral marketing.
