Steve Jobs spared no time in announcing Time Capsule and I think I will do the same. In short, Time Capsule is a companion for Time Machine & Leopard. It is both a wireless hard-drive (500 GB & 1TB Server Grade Storage) and a wireless 802.11n base station. Because it is an Apple Made wireless base station, it comes with the perks that we have come to know and love. It features wireless printing and 5x the performance with 2x the range.
It has not been released yet, so information is scarce. One thing I would like to make clear is it’s ability to be used as a wireless hard drive for storing information. You can purchase the product for $299 for the 500GB Model or $499 for the 1TB Model.
During the MacWorld Keynote Speech, Steve Jobs could not help but tell the truth about Apple TV’s attempt at revolutionizing the way we watch television. It didn’t. Steve did not just put-down the Apple TV, but every product that has tried to do what Apple TV does and failed.
The people who wish to purchase Apple TV or anything of the sort, do not want to have to go to their computer and upload their media to the box like an iPod. They just want to do everything from their living room couch. Further more, the majority of people interested in Apple TV do not understand computers past email and the internet, while some have trouble turning a computer on; expecting them to “sync” Apple TV with their iTunes Account is out of the question!

Last week, Apple held the MacWorld Convention in San Francisco, California. This is a yearly event where Apple “Fan-boys” and “Fan-girls” flock to see what the almighty Steve himself will release. This year was no disappointment.
Tech Blogs like myself have been speculating about new computers at a Apple Special Event for some time now, and we have finally gotten it right. Steve appeared on the stage holding a small, and conventional Manilla Folder that gets passed around the office on a daily basis. When Steve opened the folder, I do not think anybody was ready for what was going to happen next; Steve pulled out a computer, and dubbed it the MacBook Air because of it’s thinness, portability and next generation wireless capabilities.

Just last week, Apple held it’s annual MacWorld Convention. It is customary for Steve Jobs to have a Keynote Speech where he tells us about how Apple Inc. is doing, and how they wish to improve. This year’s MacWorld was no disappointment; Steve released a plethora of products for the introduction of 2008.
During the Keynote, Steve could not help but remind his listeners that Apple was only in it’s 2nd week of fiscal year, and that we can expect much more from them in the coming months. This was very surprising to us seeing as a very trusted source had many bloggers thinking that nothing big was to be expected at MacWorld this year, especially following the iPhone release and other major upgrades including the Aluminum iMac and the new and improved iPod Line-Up. This was all discarded when just a few days before the convention, Apple released two new “Quad-Core” products to their line-up: Mac Pro & Xserve. Blogs started to speculate about the time constraints of the Keynote and thought that there would be no time to reveal the two products with everything that was going to be announced. And for the most-part, they were right! Steve ended-up exceeding his 1 Hour slot as usual, but with good intentions… and I do not think anyone was disappointed with the outcome.
