Interesting...

Microsoft's 'Lauren' ad follow-up disses Mac power | Microsoft - CNET News

And it gets worse. My point is that there still isn't a Windows laptop out there that is less than three-quarters of an inch thick with a dual core one point eight gigahertz processor with two gig of ram and two-hundred fifty-six meg of video ram that weighs three pounds. 'Nuf said.

Yes, you can get a Jawbone 2 for under $70. Rock on.

Motorola MOTOROKR S9 Bluetooth Stereo Headset - 98801N - Buy.com

Gotta be the best deal on a A2DP Bluetooth headset. I'm thinking about buying one to use with my MacBook Air for the podcast and music, etc. I could also use it with my iPhone this summer.

Classic example of a MacBook nock off. If you actually read about this thing and the desktop that it's modeled after, you'll see that it's only allowed to do what Microsoft's OS allows as far as the multi-touch goes.

New iPhone in June?

Well I hope not. Even if one comes out, I'd have to see some really
impressive new features. I mean, what won't version 3 not do for the
current platform?

I'm looking for a new device alltogether.

Any comments?

Work in progress

As you can tell, this project is still in the works. I'll be making
changes by the day. And I know that the blog has some errors but I'm
working on that.

Also, the story/link submission address has changed to macntx.news@blogger.com. That will post a draft to the blog which I will later edit into a posting. Your email will not be shared in any way.
