Apple Stock Drops due to Engadget Story

http://www.macworld.com/news/2007/05/18/engadget/index.php

Apparently, websites like engadget might have some media clout. Recently, Apple stock dropped 2% due to a false rumour about the iPhone. They said that the release of the iPhone was going to be moved back to March, (don't panic) however the story was quickly corrected and the stock price went back to it's previous height.

Updated MacBooks

Here is a story about the update on the macbook. They now have faster processors and larger drives along with more memory. I do not consider this a huge deal due to the fact that now the medium grade computer is now the lower ect.

15 Apple Ads All Compiled Into One

Great Hillary Clinton/Apple ad Spoof

DVD Ripping Program

Well, I recently talked about how I would use my ripped movies on an iPhone. This is the program that can do it. It gives you the chance to mess with all the settings like the size, bitrate, formats, and what you want the viedo for. It has Apple TV support along with iPod and PSP. It is a great program and I hope ypu like it.

The iPhone

Well there it is, The iPhone. I want it. But, of course I live in the boston area whwere everyone including me has Verizon for it's much better reception. Hey, I love my macbook, but it simply is too big to carry everywhere, and it is too likely to be stolen. With the iPhone, I could update this blog on the road and down the cape (Cape Cod), also I could definitely watch some movies that I have ripped using HandBrake. Well, maybe if I'm lucky, in a couple of years the contract will run out with Cingular and Verizon may get a piece of the action.

I'm Back!

Allright, so know it has been a long time since I wrote on this blog and a lot of important things in the mac world have been overshadowed. For one, the iPhone was revealed. Also the shuffles went small and metal. So, to start off my return to blogging I am going to catch you up on some of the major apple stories. Also I will try to find and add all the apple commercials to the blog. And, one more thing, I am going to have to tell you about the new MacBook I just got.
