Apple TV 3.0 Update, as well as iTunes 9.0.2 Released

Posted by Hawered On October - 29 - 2009

Apple TVToday Apple announced the new software version of the Apple TV, Apple’s probably least selling product. The Apple TV is a great product, don’t get me wrong, but it is way overdue for an update. The Apple TV has gotten a little more “Love-able” with this new 3.0 Software Update. (Sound Familiar?)

New Features Include:

  • A Totally redesigned menu, making it easier to rent movies, view photos and browse your device.
  • iTunes LP, yes, just like in iTunes.
  • Genius Mixes, yes its about time Apple!
  • Internet Radio, again a long needed feature

Apple TV just got slightly better, but not by much. It still needs a total redesign of the entire product. Apple is slacking on this, and it has been anticipated for over 3 years.

All in all the Apple TV is still not worth buying in my opinion, unless you enjoy your TV just as much as your computer. I do not and therefore view all my media on my Mac.

** Today Apple also updated iTunes, bringing you iTunes 9.0.2. WIth fixes for Apple TV 3.0 software, a new view for grid mode, and a few minor fixes.

iPhone likely Headed for Verizon in 2010

Posted by Hawered On October - 28 - 2009

Analyst says iPhone is likely headed for Verizon wireless in 2010.

From Cult Of Mac,

Maybe Apple still needs Verizon. That seems to be the opinion of one analyst, who predicts Apple views the wireless carrier as a way to grab even more marketshare. The view is contrary to last week’s thinking Verizon’s ‘Droid’ phone had scuttled any chances of a post-AT&T deal.

“In our view, diverse carrier support is a key element to driving global penetration of the iPhone (from ~3% share today of the total handset market),” Broadpoint.AmTech analyst Brian Marshall told investors. “Therefore, we believe the chances are high the iPhone will find its way onto the VZ network in 2H10.”

AT&T recently reported the iPhone comprised 90 percent of the carrier’s new postpaid subscribers during the September quarter – up from 57 percent the year before. AT&T activated a record 3.2 million iPhones during the September quarter, 40 percent of whom were new customers for the carrier.

Although Apple would suffer from the loss of what Marshall terms a “sweatheart” subsidy from AT&T, the Cupertino, Calif. company would make up the difference in volume. Experts believe Verizon could sell 14 million iPhones in 2011, garnering a cool $7 billion for Apple, which sells the handsets for $500 a pop.

Whether or not this will prove to be is true the true test, the test of time.

Web-based malware infections are becoming more of a problem.

Posted by VGStudios On October - 27 - 2009

More than 640,000 Web sites and about 5.8 million pages are infected with malware… This is a problem. Everyone knows that Anti-Virus programs can’t keep up! With new viruses being made everyday, no one can catch them all. Now with Rootkits becoming the thing, everyone is at risk. You can have a perfecty fine looking computer, everything runs, speed is the same, everything is normal, but you can have a rootkit and not see a sign. They hide their process so ending it is nearly impossible. Once in they have control over everything you do. they have the Yes or No in what ever you do, and getting rid of them are nearly impossible! But! there is hope! Everyday scanning with MalwareBytes and Your personal virus scanner, you can stay protected! Be sure to keep all of you virus protection programs up to date, running, and scanning when you can. Also research a program before running it. You never know. If you think a file looks odd or your unsure, ask! it never hurts to ask, but it can hurt real bad if you don’t. Don’t go to websites that sound unsafe, usually if they over advertise the fact that their site is clean, its probably not. So keep this all in mind next time you open a random file or visit a random website.

The Apple Tablet, So Far

Posted by Hawered On October - 26 - 2009

Apple Tablet

So as most all of you know, the Apple Tablet is imminent. It is supposedly ready for the January 19th announcement. The schedule, most likely, will be the announcement, on January 19th, then the release in May or July.

The Apple tablet is an extraordinary piece of machinery. Although, all is still speculation, we can assume, since coming from apple, this will be incredible. According to sources Steve Jobs has been on the Tablet since 2003. The tablet has also been rejected, not once, but twice. FIrst for “Bad Battery Times” and second for “Insufficient memory.” Both good reasons and it lets us know Apple wont give us a “Fail” device.

The Tablet is supposedly not going to run full OS X. It is going to run a watered down version for the Tablet, itself. Much like the iPhone, and iPod Touch.

Supposedly the tablet will be able to surf the web, Check email, and much more you would want your phone, your computer and now a tablet to do. It is more of a mix of the Mac and the iPhone.

The tablet is supposedly going to be offered in two versions. With 3G, and Without. I plan on buying one, so I will most likely get the without version, as I do not want to pay a monthly charge, although 3G would be nice.

Some rumors have stated that that tablet will have its own “App Store.” Much like the iPhone, it will host apps, and applications for the tablet.

Now I shall list some of the new features we should expect in the tablet:

Camera: iSight camera on the front for Photo Booth and iChat video-conferencing.

Accelerometer: For turning your tablet sideways for a different view.

Stand: It’ll have a dock stand for recharging and syncing to devices like the Time Machine backup box via Ethernet. The dock will also hold the screen upright like a conventional screen for work. Just pair it with a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse.

Virtual Keyboard: With a quick gesture on the screen, a keyboard will pop up for your convenience.

All in all this will be an experience like no other. This will be the tablet to change our way of computing. A computer to sit in your lap while you touch it with you original pointing device, your finger.

This is and will be the best device Apple has released since the iPhone.

For more information on the Apple Tablet, which I will stay VERY Up-To-Date on, stay tuned to http://Hawered.com
