I am,
what you would call,
a nerd.
A pretty damn fly nerd, if I do say so myself.
But, I am a huge electronics buff, next to Wolf recruiting and Styling on Hoes.
People actually call me when they need help with their electronic stuff.
I’m not full fledged IT, but a Fox can do a little something.
Today, I watched the Apple Keynote that was held in San Francisco.
Absolutely blown away!
Ever since I became a blogger,
I realized just how useful Apple is for my craft.
I recommend Apple products to ANY in a creative field.
They are so much better than PCs.
I use to be Anti-Apple,
but after my PC died, I went Mac and ain’t look the FAWK back!…
So that shit is long, but very informative.
I’ll break down some key points:
- Macbook Air got an upgrade
- Macbook Pro got an upgrade/new Macbook Pro with Retina Display launched
- Mountain Lion is coming out in July/Will be 19.99!!
- iOS6 is coming out in fall
- Siri will be fucking amazing
- Google Maps got a whole new re-design with vector buildings
There are so many new features I personally like:
- Sending iMessages on your Macbook to other people on their phone
- You can say your response and the computer will type it out in Dictation
- Passbook will allow you to have your boarding passes, coupons, and movie tickets on your phone
- “Do Not Disturb” allows you to only have certain calls ring your phone while you sleep
- Reminders, Notes, and Notification Center will be on your desktop
- When you Macbook is asleep, PowerNap will still download updates and get mail as it sleeps
I was having a nerdgasm watching that Keynote.
Anyone else love Apple as much as I do?
…or, am I the only nerd in the building?
oh so i’m the only pro-apple in the foxhole?
well shit,
i’ll rep alone then lol
Have always been against Apple, ever since elementary school with the bulky ass McIntoshes and Helvetica font. Hated it.
Hell, I don’t even apples like talking bout it.
I usually stick with Sony, Panasonic, and HP for my electronics.
I think Apple is great if you’re a graphic designer/editor, video editor, or novice (because it’s simple). They look great & keep it simple. But when they go bad, it’s awful & customization is fairly non-existent. And the cult of Apple reminds me of Bey stans…ugh.
I use both, depending on my need. I’ll give Apple credit for becoming a cultural icon – that’s driving their business more than anything else.
Took the words out of my mouth ^^ Agreed… I love Apple for things of that nature but if i just surf the web and stuff a PC will do just fine.
I prefer PCs — there’s greater variety in the hardware and the software that you can obtain. This is why all boutique computer companies use PCs, instead of Apple.
I don’t much get into Apple. I feel like most of it is hype.
