As I wrote in the past (at least couple times), Windows 7 is basically the new Windows Vista Service Pack.

Even after people using its betas left and right you get enigmatic reviews and comments. I will quote again the super crazy Micro$oft lover.

Final thoughts:

At this point in time, Windows 7 is an enigma. Many are excited about testing this next version of Windows, and I'm sure millions of people will do just that when Microsoft makes the Beta available publicly in January. But in use, Windows 7 is fairly unexceptional in the sense that, yes, it has some nice improvements over Windows Vista, but, no, none of them are particularly major changes. In this sense, Windows 7 is much like your typical Microsoft Office release, a nicely tweaked version of the previous release. (Cue the obvious Steven Sinofsky anecdote here, I guess.) That said, Windows Vista is clearly in need of a spit-shine, not to mention a public execution, and Windows 7 will provide Microsoft with a way to do both.

Read more to his Windows 7 review and his Windows 7 notes.

In any case, if you ask me, the new name of Windows should be Windows Fixta and should be free for ALL the Windows Vista suckers (excuse me, customers) out there. But then again all of you are a bunch of foolish sheep that will fork out your hard earned cash and time at Micro$oft in order to buy, install and maintain this Windows Fixta travesty.

Meanwhile other smarter people than you, will keep buying Macs, convert their Wintel/AMD boxes into Hackintoshes and even smarter ones convert them into Linux boxes.

Wake up damned sheep and demand to get a free copy of Windows 7 IF you already own Vista. WAKE UP! You can do it. Besides some of the Vista sheep will be able to get a free copy. Why not all of you?

Everyday Normal Guy

Those who know me and watched some of my video edits already know how much I love the Everyday Normal Guy videos and of course its brilliant creator and protagonist Jon Lajoie.

Well, he is back once again and this time he is not alone! ;)

Everyday Normal Crew (Jon Lajoie) - watch more funny videos

Everyday Normal Crew :D

MacWorld 2009 Keynote is over

UPDATE:
Watch the Keynote here.

So, what is new?

Well, the MUST have applications for every single Mac user out there.

iLife 09
iWork 09

To make things easier for the new Mac users Apple has the iLife 09 Up-To-Date program.

For the not so new Mac users I guess its the Mac Box Set.

For the pro/advanced people out there, be it Mac or Windows customers, Apple has the new unibody MacBook Pro 17" ready and waiting.

To complete the pro/advanced offerings, Apple has the new iWork.com product in beta.

For me however the one and only superb story of the keynote was the DRM free offerings in the iTunes Store from all the major music labels and the two-hit combination with iPhone 3G that we got.

That my friends is the start of a new era of how we consume music. Next stop? Hopefully videos! ;)

At long last Mr. Steve Jobs got his wish come true.

Obectified

Objectified trailer ( click here for better quality ):
It’s impossible to cram a full film’s worth of people, ideas, and images into a 90-second trailer… so think of this as a small taste:

About the trailer: the voices belong to Jonathan Ive, Andrew Blauvelt, Marc Newson, and Karim Rashid. The song is “I Like Van Halen Because My Sister Says They Are Cool” by our friends El Ten Eleven, from their new record These Promises Are Being Videotaped [get it on iTunes]. And the font used in the trailer is… Akzidenz Grotesk! [Shout out to Paula Scher!]

Can't wait to absorb every single frame of it ;)

What can I say?

Roxio Toast 10
FileMaker 10
Google's Picasa ( beta )

All those just released for my lovely Apple platform. More to come in the days ahead. Also, remember:
Even small talk can be pretty BIG.

Go Apple. Go Apple. GO!

Letter from Apple CEO Steve Jobs

The original can be found here.

Dear Apple Community,

For the first time in a decade, I’m getting to spend the holiday season with my family, rather than intensely preparing for a Macworld keynote.

Unfortunately, my decision to have Phil deliver the Macworld keynote set off another flurry of rumors about my health, with some even publishing stories of me on my deathbed.

I’ve decided to share something very personal with the Apple community so that we can all relax and enjoy the show tomorrow.

As many of you know, I have been losing weight throughout 2008. The reason has been a mystery to me and my doctors. A few weeks ago, I decided that getting to the root cause of this and reversing it needed to become my #1 priority.

Fortunately, after further testing, my doctors think they have found the cause—a hormone imbalance that has been “robbing” me of the proteins my body needs to be healthy. Sophisticated blood tests have confirmed this diagnosis.

The remedy for this nutritional problem is relatively simple and straightforward, and I’ve already begun treatment. But, just like I didn’t lose this much weight and body mass in a week or a month, my doctors expect it will take me until late this Spring to regain it. I will continue as Apple’s CEO during my recovery.

I have given more than my all to Apple for the past 11 years now. I will be the first one to step up and tell our Board of Directors if I can no longer continue to fulfill my duties as Apple’s CEO. I hope the Apple community will support me in my recovery and know that I will always put what is best for Apple first.

So now I’ve said more than I wanted to say, and all that I am going to say, about this.

Steve

And with that here is wishing our favorite CEO only the best and at least that. Take care Mr Steve Jobs.
