When geeks and apple pies intersect, amazing things can happen.
“I can't afford any of your products, but…can I buy some fake white earbuds so people will think I have a MiPod?”
Hey, that guy standing on a Segway while peeing looks a lot like Apple founder Steve Wozniak!
Microsoft finally found someone cool to admit they're a PC, and it's Girl Talk! After all, there's nothing more punk rock than Windows Vista.
Apple’s response to Microsoft’s costly, Jerry-Seinfeld-led “I’m A PC” campaign is direct and kind of nasty.
Jobs addressed his health rumors briefly at the Apple laptop unveiling today.
Tech Buzz Jobs just announced them, here’s the info. Improved graphics and speed, a glass trackpad, LED display and new, rounded look and solid construction. The new Mac Book Pros are going for $1999 (15.4 inch display, 2.4GHz Core 2 Duo, 2GB of DDR3 RAM, NVIDIA 9400 and 9600) or $2499 with larger HD and faster CPU. Also, a new Macbook Air and a 24-inch LED-backlit cinema display. Regular Macbooks are now $999, with a new Macbooks in aluminum casing, for $1299 and $1599.
Culture Buzz As the economy continues its death march, it’s time we all started tightening our belts. From eating out less to (gulp) “cheap” Apple laptops ($800!), Americans are making or getting ready to make major lifestyle changes as the stock and credit markets change wildly.

Apple announced their October 14th media event yesterday, where it’s rumored that they’ll unveil the new round of MacBooks and MacBook Pros.
Music Buzz The new commercial for the 4th generation iPod Nano is out which also means the next big indie band is about to go mainstream. The song playing over all those pretty colors is “Bruises” by a group called Chairlift. By being featured in the commercial, they’ve received the Apple touch which grants one lucky, obscure band instant stardom. At this point, Apple has proven that every time an ipod is created, an indie band gets their wings.
Tech Buzz The new Nano features a voice recorder, neat colors. It’s also super thin and has an accelerometer — meaning you can watch videos in widescreen mode and shake to shuffle your playlist — but most importantly it looks like delicious candy.
Business Buzz His gaunt appearance during the 3G iPhone launch is re-igniting concerns over the virtuosic CEO’s health. He beat pancreatic cancer 4 years ago but kept it a secret until it was clear he was recovering. Apple fans, investors, and industry watchers are hoping that won’t be repeated. Get well soon, Steve!
Tech Buzz The next iPhone comes out in a week; here is what the current rumor landscape look like. It will be thinner (or thicker); it will support video (or have a 3 mega-pixel camera); it will have GPS (or Bluetooth stereo). Start measuring your own expectations now!
