Another cool marketing and promotional tool from Microsoft, it’s the virtual test drive tool which allows you to run Windows Vista LIVE right on your browser. Essentially, this is how it works, when you login, Microsoft creates a demo account on their AMD Opteron server and allows you to remotely connect to it, unlocking all the features of Windows Vista on a fast processor and delivering it right to you via Microsoft Internet Explorer! Isn’t that concept sweet? I just ran a test drive of it and apparently you need a good graphic card to test out all of it’s features.
Want Vista without the wait? Test drive it today!IE 6+ Required
LOL, this might be a little bit stupid but if you print this picture out in it’s highest quality and put it together, then you’ll have the actual size version of the Apple iPhone, pretty bazaar.
For those of you who wanna wait, it comes out June and has a price tag of $499 for the 4GB version and if you pay $599, you’ll get the 8GB version. Until then, a cut out is cool enough to impress your friends LOL.
TIP: Use laminated paper so it’s thicker and more shiny!
Here’s a link to the high quality Apple iPhone cutout! Enjoy!
Now you might not think this is possible but it happened, we (the public) only had speculations about the iPhone for most part of 2006 but had no idea on how it looked like until yesterday. It was revealed during the MacWorld event in San Francisco.
Here are some earlier photo’s of the user submitted iPhone prototypes:
LOL, they we’re even close to what the final confirmed one looked like.
So, how did Apple keep it a secret for so long?
Even at MacWorld, top Apple managers were whispering about how this was the first time they saw the design. Steve Job’s did an incredible job keeping this a secret, Cingular, Apple’s partner on this also had no idea. They knew it was coming but didn’t know when. Apple partnered with Cingular in the past to release the not so popular ROKR, the iTunes cellphone. Apple also played bully, and sued bloggers around the world for disclosing information about their iPhones, so If I were to publish this blog entry anytime earlier, I would have been at risk of a lawsuit [[as if I wasn't an expert on that already]].
Now the iPhone is coming out in June and it’s MSRP is $499 for the 4GB and $599 for the 8GB. If Apple could have kept the iPhone a secret for longer, they would have but in order to file for FCC regulations, they were forced to make it public, this is one of the reasons it is being released in June, instead of let’s say February. Apparently, Steve Job’s also kept it a secret with his family. “Daddy, can you tell us finally what you were working on?”
WOW, This makes me think about how many secrets the government is keeping from us!
Not as HOT as the Apple iPhone but still one of the hottest products of 2007! It’s the AppleTV. For $299, you can get this digital jukebox that plays movies, music, tv shows etc. It wirelessly syncs with your computer to stream music. You can download media directly off of iTunes. However from reading the specs on this little Mac Mini look a like. It doesn’t strike me as the MUST have kinda item, I mean it’s new and is from Apple but it’s not a must have for me. Besides I don’t watch TV anyway, I don’t think this thing can change that.
Tangent: Chomell stop asking! I’ll do it tomorrow!
Look at this cute little thing, it’s a Home Server! It’s uses are for data storage so you can share you videos, pictures, music and more all across your wireless network. You can logon as 10 wireless users on this one! Microsoft says that this is the OEM version and that it would be sold to you via vendors like HP. It even comes with an IDE Disc Drive, it is not clear about what type of drive it is. Probably DVD if you asked me. Go Ian Herman [the dude probably has nothing to do with this!! LOL!] – My Microsoft Man!
Can wait to get this Q2 from HP. Isn’t it just a STUD? I mean look at the glowing lights.
iPhone combines three products — a revolutionary mobile phone, a widescreen iPod with touch controls, and a breakthrough Internet communications device with desktop-class email, web browsing, maps, and searching — into one small and lightweight handheld device. iPhone also introduces an entirely new user interface based on a large multi-touch display and pioneering new software, letting you control everything with just your fingers. So it ushers in an era of software power and sophistication never before seen in a mobile device, completely redefining what you can do on a mobile phone.
OMG, can’t say more about it yet, MUST INDULGE IN FLASH BEAUTY! Also NEW is the AppleTV!
See more of it atApple! Apple just bought iPhone.com.
Hate pre-recorded people trying to sound like their excited on tv or radio? If you listen to internet radio then you know what I mean. Ongoing playing music but no real people, no real DJ’s. All they have is pre-recorded advertisements. Want something more lively? Most live radio stations now have streaming services online with real DJ’s. Yeah, you’ll still get recorded advertisements but at least the person talking to you is real.
I have compiled a list of New York City FM radio stations so you can listen LIVE even if you don’t have a real radio at hand.
I got a praise about my new blog from someone famous! Guess who? Mr Jhendi Castillo. In your face Johnny Cochran. I’m sorry Rest In Peace, I just had to use his name because we [ms soso & mr castillo] brought him up today. Please don’t come after my ass! lol Johnny. But anyway, I’m glad that my best friend likes what I do and that doesn’t mean I’ll change it to the way you like it! When you get your blog, you can do whatever the hell you want to it. So how was my day today?
Well I went back to Bergtraum to assist students on how to improve their projects. Then soso, castillo and I visited Mc Donalds rival “Burger King”. Look at my Christmas gift from Chomell.

So I just came home about to hit the showers. It’s 11 O`CLOCK!
Cool features such as DreamScene is only available on Windows Vista Ultimate! This program allows you to play 30fps video and use it as your background. It even works with HD video, however this program is only available for the higher end of Windows Vista which is the Ultimate Edition. Guess Microsoft is whipping out all the incentives to get their better version of Vista. Also as an extra for Ultimate, you can now play Texas Holdem.
The new OS is looking hot and comes out Jan 30, 2007! Get more info about Vista!
Get it now at Dell!
