New Apple Tablet

Steve Jobs is back to work at Apple, just months after having a liver transplant, and sources say he is spending most of his time focused on the company's new tablet device. According to the Wall Street Journal, the team of people working on the tablet are under much scrutiny from their company's CEO. The article also states that this is the third attempt at the tablet, the first one failed due to a low battery life, the second one due to insufficient memory. Jobs, himself, has confirmed that most of that information is correct, but didn't specify any details. There is still no word on when an Apple tablet might actually become available to the public or what kind of impact it will have but if the success of Jobs' last pet project - the iPhone - is any indication, the tablet could change the way many people view technology.

There have been many rumors about the Apple tablet in recent months. Some say a September unveiling is in the works, others say November and some say not until 2010. A report from Barron's claims the device will be marketed for mostly media play (with an Apple TV tie-in) and gaming. Regardless of when and what, there is no doubt the rest of the industry is waiting to see what exactly Jobs and Apple have planned.

MacBook Air Hinge Defects: Warranty Covered?

Now everybody knows that nothing in this world is perfect, but when you buy a computer, and pay good money for on, then you excpect it to be pretty close. You also expect for its little imperfections to at least be covered by a humble warranty.

The MacBook Air is no stranger to problems. Upon its realease, the MacBook Air was experiencing overheating problems which was not covered under the warranty. But now, the MacBook has an all new problem, one that is causing alot of people some severe frustration.

On each and every laptop there is a thing called a hinge. The hinge is the main piece of equipment that allows you to raise and lower your screen and holds the screen in place when you adjust it to where you want it. Now, if this hinge becomes damaged, our screen won't stay in place, rendering your computer basically useless to you considering it we don't have enough arms to type, use the mouse, and hold up a screen at the same time.

Reports have confirmed that with first-generation MacBook Airs, the hinges become loose over time and eventually catch and crack under normal use, meaning there was no repressed rage forcing the omputer screen around. Now while this is a mojor problem, you would think that Apple would have your back and help you out by covering this with its warranty. Nope! While looking at Apple reports about this problem, Apple claimed the broken hinge as an "accidental" occurence and would not support it under its warranty. If you call Apple and report this you will find out that Apple will fix it for you.......at a cost of around $800 - $900! For that much you're better off buying a new laptop. Apple is refusing to accept this as a manufacturing error and insists that the damages are caused by the individual owner. Needless to say if problems keep arising with the MacBook Air, Apple could suffer in profits.

Check out these videos to see exactly what I'm talking about.

The Shinny New Apple Macbok

Take a piece of solid aluminum leave it in a room with the people at Apple and what would you get? If I told you the new 13-inch Macbook you might not believe that, but it’s the truth. I love when Apple comes out with nice shinny new stuff.

Putting that aside it has some really cool new futures, like the trackpad that has become the button it self, just click anywhere on the pad and your in. It also comes with some power; with 320GB you can load Macbook with your favorite movies, documents and photos. Then it even has the option to upgrade to128GB solid state hard drive with no moving parts. Then add in the 8x super drive and you can burn any and everything you watch.

Of course it is a Macbook so you know it’s iPhone.iPod,digital camera and external hard drive ready. If you opened this puppy up you would find an Intel Core 2 Duo processor capable of speeds up to 2.4GHZ. It also kicks out 1066MHZ DDR3 memory and that by it self gives you the ability to deal with complex files as well as keeping more applications open at once.

What can I say it’s the newest thing out by Apple and they always seem to be one step ahead of the game. Did I mention its shinny?
