My Notes:
MyAppleStuff – I have posted the first on a series of articles from Wayne documenting his first adventure into blogging and podcasting ( http://myapplestuff.com/a-new-beginning-with-a-bit-of-history/) which I am enjoying and I think you will, and I decided to renew my .Mac account, for a number of reasons ( http://myapplestuff.com/mac-renewed/)
Apple – 3 new Mac adverts caught my eye and I liked them ( http://myapplestuff.com/3-new-mac-adverts/) which was good as you may recall that I didn’t like the last set. I have been interested in the level of negativity over both the iPhone and the AppleTV. I am sure they will both be great sellers (in fact the AppleTV already is) but in general I think that people are not universally bowled over by them. Most people I talk to are really waiting for an extended iPhone range, a drop in price and anything but Cingular!!!
Projects – Pretty quite on this front this week. Everything for my audio project is now in the post so there is a slight chance that next week I will have it all set up, but probably the week after.
Reviews – I haven’t reviewed any software this week. I did check out a neighbours Sony DSC-SR70 ( http://myapplestuff.com/sony-dcr-sr70-dont-buy-it/) which I was excited about as I am going to be looking for a new Camcorder this year BUT it was a nightmare and I advise any Mac user (in fact anybody) to stay well clear of it.
And finally – I guess the plans for the photo competition have been blown out the water in that Macworld didn’t announce anything that people can buy this month! So I am going to keep the competition open until both the AppleTV and the iPhone are available.
