What I Would Like to See Apple Introduce in 2012

2012 is said to be a "Big year" for technology, especially Apple. There are certainly lot's of rumors floating around the web. In this article, I am going to have my say on what I'd like to see Apple introduce this year (2012).

1. - Apple HDTV:

One of the biggest rumors of this year is that Apple is to announce an all new Apple HDTV. Some sources say that it will be exceptionally thin, come in at least 3 different sizes which I think will be 32", 46" and 55" displays. I also think that it will come with many feature's that the Apple TV box set has.

2. - iPad 3:

It is very likely Apple will introduce the much-hyped iPad 3 in the next 2 or so months ahead. There are rumors floating about, claiming that the iPad 3 will have an all new Retina Display, better cameras, A6 Processor and for the tablet to be both thinner and lighter.  

3. - iPhone 5:


 The world was expecting to see the iPhone 5 in 2011, but sadly that wasn't to be. So, surely there must be an iPhone 5 this year, right? Many sources claim that the iPhone 5 will have a larger 4.0" screen, which will be greatly welcomed. Others say the Apple A6 Processor will be packed into iPhone 5. People also say the iPhone 5 be significantly thinner and lighter. Fingers crossed we will see an all new redesigned Apple iPhone 5 this year.

4. - 15" MacBook Air:

To accompany the 11" and the 13" MacBook Air, sources say that Apple is at testing stage with a brand-new 15" MacBook Air, which is said to have an Ivy bridge Processor packed inside. Personally, I would like to see a higher resolution FaceTime HD Camera on the front as the current FaceTime Camera on the MacBook Air is horrible. I think the price for the 15" MacBook Air will be around the £1500 mark, but that is just a guess. I think if Apple were to introduce this machine into the Mac family, it would be one of their best selling products.

So, that's what I would like to see Apple introduce this year, what do you think Apple will introduce this year? Leave them in the comments section below.

Unboxing Power Mac G5

The Specs

HDD: 250GB SATA
RAM: 4GB DDR
CPU: 2.0GHz (Dual Core) 
DVD-RW Super Drive
GeForce FX 5200 (Will upgrade if possible)
OS: OSX Tiger 10.4.8

What is the power mac G5? Well it was a top of the line computer back in its day. Using a 64-bit power processor (which has been discontinued and switched with a Intel processor) there was no limitations on what you could do! But seeing as this in a six year old computer, there are now limitations for what you can do. Would I recommend this computer to you? Yes and no. I will be doing a weekly usage to see if it is something you would get your money’s worth. So I will be able to answer that question shortly.

So far, I was able to install adobe creative suite and get everything to work. I wasn't too sure if CS5 would work, so I installed CS3. Everything runs amazingly smooth; however safari keeps closing on YouTube’s main page. But if I go to a channel, everything works out. All in all, I do recommend this computer, however it is considerably cheap (being an old computer) but you can find these computers on eBay for a couple hundred dollars. Some come with Leopard, some do not.

Thank you for watching/reading. If you like this video you can find more at http://www.youtube.com/user/thedeskgeek

One Million Copies of OS X Lion Purchased

Just under 48 hours ago, Apple released their new Operating System called OS X Lion.  With in that 48 hour time period, Apple announced that they sold more than 1 million copies of the amazing new Operating System.  This is crazy because they were all sold and downloaded with the Mac App Store.  What will happen when they release it to stores for the public because some users don't have the Mac App Store! A little quote from Apple's Marketing Chief Phil Schiller:

Lion is off to a great start, user reviews and industry reaction have been fantastic. Lion is a huge step forward, it’s not only packed with innovative features but it’s incredibly easy for users to update their Macs to the best OS we’ve ever made.

At 3.7GB per download, you would be crazy not to purchase OS X Lion.  The download size is fast, not to mention the great price point!  If you haven't downloaded OS X Lion yet, help Apple out and do so! Great job Apple!  Keep up the great work!
