What's In My Dock 12-11-09

Hello everyone! This is just a post on what applications I use on a daily basis and what i keep in my dock. If you have any questions on the apps in my dock or want to see an in-depth review just leave a comment or send me a message.

The 13" MacBook Pro Packaging

Being a first time Apple MacBook Pro owner I already had high expectations. As far as the boxing, I was expecting something a lot less than what was delivered. I was pleasantly surprised by the clean white box that arrived after ordering my MacBook Pro online. You could tell right off that Apple hadn't wasted time or money with unnecessarily big boxes to put their Mac products in. When I opened the box it was as clean and simple as the outer design itself. Compared to the Windows computers that I have owned previously, I was both in love with the design and amazed at the same time. 

Apple really has the right idea when it comes to boxing their products. Keep it clean, simple, beautiful, and environmentally friendly. I don't see any other commercials advertising a computer that is in environmentally friendly packaging, do you? Overall when it comes to opening your shiny new MacBook Pro, expect the highest standard of quality from Apple.

Things You Never Hear (From a Mac User)

Just a humorous little video about the Mac universe. This is a parody of "Things You Never Hear" by Seth Macfarlane.

AT&T Mark The Spot App: A step in the right direction?

Do you have AT&T? Have you ever experienced things like, dropped call's, no coverage, or poor voice quality? Well, AT&T is here to help.

AT&T recently came out with the new iPhone app, AT&T Mark The Spot. Whenever you experince any problem with AT&T cellphone coverage you can simply open that App, it uses your GPS to find where you are, and you can report it. 

It's indisputable that this is a step in the right direction to a better over all wireless service. What I'm wondering, is where AT&T is going to go next. 

The Apple iPhone is debatable the best phone you can get today. If it weren't for Apple and AT&T exclusivity, AT&T really wouldn't have much going for it. Now imagine of AT&T had FULL 3G coverage EVERYWHERE. What do you think that would do? 

I imagine and hope that that is where AT&T is trying to get too. With the combination of an amazing phone AND an amazing network, nothing could stop it.

As for the actually App and a review, there's really not all that much to say. Uhhh... it works? The app does do exactly what it's supposed to, which although dosn't seem like much now, will hopefully lead to an over all better wireless experience. 

My Christmas Wish List 2009

Hello everyone. My name is Alex. I am writing to you today about my Christmas Wish List for 2009. But, before I write anymore, lets clarify this is a WISH list. I personally know I am not going to get everything on this list. I have put my wish list into three different groups. The first group is Hardware, the second is Video Games, and the third is Others. I do not want to go over every thing on my list as I did in my video. I will be writing about one thing I'd like to have from each category.

Hardware: The one thing I'd like to have most in the hardware category is an Apple TV. In my mind the Apple TV is an underrated device. The Apple TV is capable of streaming your iTunes content wirelessly on your television. The device has built in wifi to connect to you home network without any cables or complications. You can also rent the latest released movies in HD on the Apple TV. The Apple TV can also stream your music, podcasts, and TV shows that you buy in iTunes. The device has a 160 GB hard drive and the device is available for $229 at an Apple store and the Apple Website

Video Games: The first video game I'd like to have is Call of Duty Modern WarFare 2 for the Xbox 360. I love first person shooting games. I also love Call of Duty games. I have played the game and seen gameplay videos around the web. The game looks over the top good. I can not wait to play this game online in Team Death Match, and Capture the Flag. The game also features many new kill streaks, the best one being an entire nuke of the map, killing everyone in the game.

Others: The one thing I'd like to have from my others category is the Apple Magic Mouse. I have demoed the mouse at my local Apple store. I was very impressed with the multi touch features. This mouse has changed my perspective on mice. The Magic Mouse has made browsing applications on OS X Snow Leopard a better experience than the outgoing Mighty Mouse (now just called the Apple Mouse due to a copyright law suit.)

Thank you for reading! Hope you enjoyed and got some ideas for your wish list for 2009. Happy Holidays to everyone, whatever holiday you will be celebrating.
