Apple

Using apple computers is such a delight. Right from when you turn on the computer everything about them is so spectacular. Why? To start off the computer is elegant and as soon as you push the power button, the computer boots into this unique pinkish white vista in a slightly dark background image as its desktop image. This image as described is simple but uniquely elegant. Looking at this screen makes me so calm. This also reminds me of the Mac screensaver called flurry. This screensaver is so good that it is ported over to windows. I was drawn to this screensaver ever since I laid my eyes on in it on one of my professor’s computers. This screensaver looks like a multicolored jellyfish floating around randomly on the screen. In addition, it is engrossing because it changes its entire color or in parts while floating around graciously. Just having that screensaver made my computer look better. Every time I look at that screensaver, I feel like I am in the future. It also gives me a feeling that important work is being done on that computer and this fancy screensaver is just playing during a break. I actually downloaded and put this screensaver on my PC back when I did not have a Mac. I felt just having this screensaver elevated the status of my PC.

Others things I like about the mac, are the ease with which the browser opens PDF’s. I can easily open PDF’s in apple’s safari browser without having adobe reader launching like on PC’s. I don’t have ten thousand plug-ins loading each time. Only the pdf is open ready for me to read.

Using an apple computer is like a date with a nice cute chick that is doing everything you want in the cutest manner possible. The aqua interface on the Mac is so pleasing to the eye, I actually feel like doing work on the Mac. I can say that the prettiness of the Mac motivates me to do more work. I would love to win a golden ticket to meet Steve Jobs in person and check out the apple factory, just like Charlie who got a chance to do so in Charlie and the chocolate factory. I would like to see all the magic that goes into making these fine machines and the wonderful software that accompany them. I would kill for a chance to win an apple factory trip. Ah, apple the joy you have brought into my life, pricey but worth it.

I have a passion for apple computers. I crave for these computers as I crave for hot chicks. I find the beauty of these computers appealing like the beauty of well-designed cars. These computers have impressed me so much that now I actually have developed an appreciation for art in addition to science. In the past, I was just fascinated by technology, but now I like look for more than technology, I also look for the inclusion of art or great design in tech. products.

I also love the simplicity incorporated in these products. Only what is truly essential is left on these computers. It is like as though these works of art have been created by chipping away all the non-essential components and leaving only the essential. The engineers at apple computer are like sculptors chipping away at what is not required and creating a masterpiece for a computer.

Let us take the Mac book pro for example. I find this machine to be the highest benchmark for good laptop design. This laptop is so full of features but still manages to be terribly simple and intuitive. With the Mac book pro in front of all I can think of is simplicity and ease of use. Steve Jobs is an evil genius. This man hates buttons and I can see his influence in the latest Mac book pro. I love the huge track pad on the new Mac book pro. There are no buttons! Can you believe that, no buttons but I can do everything. I can scroll, I can double click, I can navigate backward and forward in WebPages. The most amazing thing of all is that the huge track pad itself is a button so you can click that for a single click. This to me is like figuring out complex abstract physics theories and coming up with a break through theory that makes everything easy to do. This is one of those things, that after it has been achieved; it makes you wonder why no one else thought about it. No more ugly track pads with multiple buttons and a scroll area, just the beautiful glass track pad for me. Long live the Mac.

Tech.

I like apple computers because I find their designs to be out of this planet. Their sleek sexy fronts draw me towards them. I like touching and feeling their sleek aluminum exteriors. Their coloring scheme seems just right; the silver color aluminum looks so beautiful. It is not too dark or too light, it is just right. It can blend into any environment. It looks good in any lighting or situation. The aluminum macbook pro seems just so right in my hand. It has the perfect weight; it is not heavy unlike the bulky pc laptops. The thinness of the macbook pro just baffles me. It amazes me that apple could cram in all those electronics into an enclosing body that is less than one inch thick. I imagine the apple hardware engineers to be brilliant, coming up with new innovative ways to layout all the parts in the laptop without heating up all the components. I think apple should get an excellence award for their heat management techniques. All the other laptops, they just conduct the heat around or let them out from the side through ugly ass vents. Apple directed their heat out from an area near the hinge of the screen and executed it with utmost elegance. You do not even realize the vents on the Mac. On the pc laptop, the vents are glaringly apparent.

I also love the apple software that comes with the computer, it so simple and easy to use. The intuitive interface got my attention the very first time I laid eyes on the Mac. Every time I used a Mac, the more I fell in love with its intuitive interface. It only gets better and better on the Mac. Every year apple comes out with so many refinements and add-ons, that it is just hard for me to go back to a pc. I find the Mac hardware and software moving towards attainment of perfection. I consider the Macs to be one of the perfect computers out there. Using a Mac is a delight; it is like watching a blue ray movie on a premium TV set. Using a pc is painful like watching a bootleg movie on a tiny computer screen with Chinese subtitles and bad audio.

Weather

I both like and hate winter at the same time. I like cold weather because I can sit at home and have some hot chocolate and feel warm. I also like sitting by a fireplace and reading my books. I can get more schoolwork done, since I cannot go out but have to say indoors. Also I don’t have to keep sweating all the time. I am inspired to go run in the cold weather sometimes, wearing a jacket, gloves, like in the rocky movie, except I am missing the dog and I can’t do the raw eggs. I have run in the cold weather in the past, I enjoyed because it is cold outside so you have to keep moving to stay warm at the same time it never gets too hot. I am generating all this heat but I can still keep going since the weather is cold. I also like taking a dip in a warm swimming pool, preferably indoor. It has been so long since I have been in a indoor swimming pool. I like indoor swimming pools; I can use them in the winter without freezing.

I don’t like winter because I feel lazy to go out and do stuff. I don’t like it when the weather gets dark outside since I just feel like going home at that point. I find darkness induces lethargy in me. Also I can’t stay out late at night because it gets so cold and I long the warmth of room. I also don’t like wearing extra clothing to keep me warm. I hate the fact that I have to wear jackets when going out but remove everything as soon I go inside since people keep so warm indoors. I wish someone invented clothing that changes its self according to the temperature. I think the clothing must expand should become more porous and allow air in when indoors and contract and shield me when I am outdoors in the cold. I also miss the girls wearing revealing clothes showing their cleavage and legs, but I admire the brave souls who do endure the cold weather to give me a little sight of their goodies.

Iphone

I like the Iphone because I find it very intuitive and enjoyable to use. I use my Iphone all the time, I use it to play games, I use it to get directions, and I use it to look up the weather. It is so sweet. I find everything on the Iphone beautifully implemented. The multi-touch on the Iphone is such a pleasure to use. You can scroll, touch, multi-touch, pinch and zoom on the phone in a lucid manner. It really helps when checking out pictures of girls where you have to zoom in to see if they really look good, it is so easy to do, I just move my fingers apart, and there Valla the picture zooms on my phone, enabling me to see a more enlarged picture, also helps in checking out cleavage. I find that the Iphone has taken us into the future many years early. I believe that this device has heralded a generation of devices that are going to use this multi-touch concept as a base. Now I can see the future being multi-touch with no touch, moving a towards a minority report future at lightning speed. I find it amusing that every cell phone manufacturer on planet earth is trying to copy apple’s multi-touch screen and implementation.

I only wish that Apple came out with a version that has a hard keyboard. Knowing apple, I think they will implement it in seamless manner into the multi-touch virtual keyboard. I believe they can do this by giving the user a tactile impulse feedback every time they touch a key on the virtual keyboard. I think this would be a great way, since it still allows the device to be terribly simple but at the same time satisfies the need for a tactile keyboard experience.

The Iphone has the best visual voicemail experience. When they announced this feature in 2007, I thought this was the coolest feature ever. I hated using my voicemail on cell phones, where I had to press seven for next message, nine to delete, # to skip and other non-sense key assignments, just to listen to my voicemail. I hated navigating through my voicemail. Then comes the Iphone and redefines voicemail navigation. Now I can actually see my voicemails listed on the screen with the timestamps of when they were received, length of the messages, and their associated phone numbers. This has exponentially improved my voicemail using experience, as I can play exactly the messages I want in order that I choose.

I love my Iphone; I do not leave home without it. It is always within five feet from me at all times. I can even get an app to open my car from the Iphone with some additional hardware then I do not need to carry car keys around. In addition, the icing on the cake will be when stores allow me to use my Iphone to pay for stuff. I am waiting for that day. I then will not need to carry my wallet or keys. I will just carry my Iphone everywhere I go.

Tech Rant

I like Apple inc. because they make computers, which are easy to use. In addition, I find their computers to be very stable. They do not give me a headache like windows PC’s which crash all the time and cause me frustration. I can now actually do work on my computer than spend most of my time fixing my computer. Apple builds their machines with Rolls Royce quality, whereas other PC manufacturers build their computers with Kia quality. Apple computers are like hot chicks that are submissive and do not give me any attitude, PC’s are like average chicks that are bitchy and give me nightmares. I can go on and on about how I like apple computers over pc’s. The comparison will never end. I do not have to keep restarting my computer every time I install a program. I do not have to keep downloading virus update packages. I do not have to keep cleaning up my temporary files or defragging my computers, my computer takes care of it.

I think I appreciate apple computers more since I came from the PC world. I have seen the bad and ugly side. Now using Macs is like driving a Lexus or Mercedes after driving a pinto for many years. Once you go Mac, you never go back. If God wanted to use a computer he would chose a Mac any day. I wish apple made everything. I hope they make toothbrushes, combs, microwaves, refrigerators, everything that I use. I think the world will be happier and better place if apple took over all manufacturing. There would be fewer machines breaking down, everyone will actually be using their appliances rather than fixing them and everything would be so easy to use, there would be no need for complicated manuals explaining stuff.

Apple should make all hardware and Google should make software. Actually, Apple should make hardware and software, and Google should mainly make software. If Google made software for car dashboards, I can do a Google search right from the steering while waiting at the traffic light. Those will be the days. I can just imagine Google and Apple working together to make the world a better place.

Healthy Spaghetti

I was so hungry today when I left my training class. I was sitting in that class trying not to sleep. I kept dinking hot decaf coffee in the hopes that it would keep me awake. Finally, the class was over and I ran up to my cubicle took a quick nap and then heated my food. I had healthy brown whole grain spaghetti for lunch. The spaghetti as I mentioned is brown since it is made of whole grains. It definitely looks healthy. In addition, when I eat it I feel full from all the fiber and protein in it. I heated up the spaghetti along with the red lamb curry that my mom made. I also heated a potato and beans curry to have some vegetables in my meal.

I heated my food. The spaghetti was steaming, asking for the red steamy hot lamb curry to be poured on it. That is what I did. The spaghetti started soaking up all the curry like sponge. I mixed the spaghetti and lamb pieces around, and then took a bite of this well mixed food. It tasted good and healthy. I love this fusion dish, mixing Indian curry with Italian spaghetti. I get the best of both worlds. I did this so that I can avoid eating rice and eat healthier spaghetti instead. I finally figured how to minimize my rice consumption with this spaghetti substitute; I hope I do not get tired of it too quickly. Then I added the potato and beans to get my vegetable in, the combination seemed to work fine. The potatoes blended well with the lamb curry flavor. As I relished my healthy meal, I thought the only thing missing to add to the experience was a coke. I could imagine the sweet taste of carbonated coke in mouth as I had my meal. However, I decided to save the coke for later and have it while writing my blog. I like to treat myself to sweet treats while completing tasks.

After eating my lamb spaghetti, I ate pineapple that my mom packed. The fruit helps offset the curry flavor and gives me a fresher fruit breath. I generally like to finish my meals with a sweet and fruit is a great choice, since I feel it acts like a breath freshener to a certain extent.

Technology Rant – Why?Why?

I like technology. Why? I think it has done so much for the human race. Why? It has equipped us with tools to cure so many diseases and bring innovative products to your lives. It has personally given me so many toys to play with. Products like the Iphone and Mac have made me always look forward to something. Every time apple releases a new product, I am so happy, I like to see the new features of their computers and how easy they now make my task of using a computer.

I am so glad I switched to Macs. Doing things on a Mac is so enjoyable to me. Unlike a PC, which is frustrating to use most of the time. Ideally a computer should be a device that you use to obtain or manipulate information in the least amount of time. But with windows pc’s I have to spend half the time maintaining my computer. Macs are computers designed by Apple. They fit my criteria of being devices that are easy and fun to use.

I would consider personal computers as one of the coolest inventions in the last thirty years. A computer is basically a device that has some storage, a brain, an input device and an output device. This is what the modern computer is when broken down to the core categories. It may look simple but computers can help us tackle the most complex tasks.

I love my computer. When I need some information, I turn it on, type what I am looking for and hit search and bam I am connected to an abundance of information that fulfills every quest for knowledge my brain desires. Ok, then say I am bored; I just go download a game, and then play the game. Downloading would be the process of getting content from a remote location to my computer. If I want to watch a video, I download that. I find computers to be the most versatile machines ever. They satisfy almost every need for information, media or entertainment that I have. If I was given 150,000$ a year job and kick ass computer with a fast Internet connection, I would be ready to live in Alaska for a year.

Technology Rant-Why?

I find Apple to be one of the coolest companies around other than Google. Why? The products they make are spectacular and so easy to use. Anyone without a computer background can pick and use a Mac and learn things so quickly. Why? Ease of use makes one want to use a product. If a product is too difficult to use, people will be shunned away. I think apple would not be what it is today without Steve Jobs. Why? Steve Jobs is like a celebrity in the computer world. He would be the Brad Pitt or Collin Ferrell of the tech industry. This man has revolutionized the way people obtain, interact and use media – music, videos etc. Why? The introduction of the iPod was something so revolutionary. Everyone on the planet wanted to get one of these. His role in the development of these products helped engineers and designers push themselves to the limit. Why? That is what Steve does, he pushes people to bring out the excellence in them. Again he awed the world with the introduction of the Iphone. Why? This little gadget is all over the news, and all the over the place. It may not be the perfect gadget but it is far superior to most of the competition. It makes using a phone device for information so easy. People can now pull up maps, directions, and enjoy music, videos, all on a device that conveniently fits into ones pocket. I find this just amazing. Why? Because it has even made me cut down on the number of devices I need to carry. I don’t need to carry a separate mp3 player, a separate notebook, a separate gps, nope. Just one little device. I find this so convenient.

When Steve Jobs released the Iphone in January of 2007, I watched the release of this device with great excitement. Why? Watching him deliver the presentation as I worked in a crappy help desk job at school made me look forward to getting a real job and buying an Iphone someday. I was so happy. I was thinking of all the creative ways I could use this phone. The news of phone immediately sent Blackberry and Palm stocks down. I was amazed by the powerful effect the news of this phone had on other company stocks. I wish I had the money then to buy some apple stock, I would definitely be a richer man today.
Steve said in his presentation that he waited three years to release this device. The secrecy with which apple deals with its products are just mind blowing.s No one could predict when the company was going to exactly release their products. I find it fascinating that there are entire websites dedicated to tracking apple’s next product release. These sites jump on any trade secrets and rumors they find on apple. I find this similar to paparazzi following celebrities.

Now thinking of it Steve Jobs would be more like rock star in the technology industry. I love technology and to see a tech company and tech CEO receive so much fanfare perhaps more than a movie star makes me happy.

Technology Rant

I find Apple to be one of the coolest companies around other than Google. The only thing I don’t like with both these companies is their promotion of gay marriage. Other than I am cool with these two outstanding companies. Talking about apple, I think apple would not be what it is today without a great man called Steve Jobs. I find this dude just amazing. I find him inspiring and intriguing. I wonder how he induces his desire for excellence in his company and its product line. I so wish I could meet him in person someday. Or at least stand within hundred feet from him and observe him. If I can talk to him I would like tell him some of my ideas. He might laugh at them but I would tell him anyway. But if he puts me down too much, I might start my one line of pc’s and make them pretty but cheaper than apple.

Or I will go join dell and revamp their product line. I used to have all these beautiful ideas for making better notebooks, which never saw the light of day. The only notebooks I found to have most of the features that I was looking for were made by apple.
Thinking about this gave me another idea. If I got a chance to be a notebook designer on one of the pc companies, I would work with the team to cram in all the features one could think of, including copying some of apple’s work and make the laptop thin and light, load google chrome os on it and sell it at a price lower than apple. I mean if you really think about it, Apple is just getting components from Intel, Nvidia and other companies and packing them into a really neat notebook and adding fine nuances such as a multi-touch track pad. I need to copy all their ideas, and improve on them. For example instead of making the notebook from aluminum I would make the laptop from carbon fiber. Making the laptop a lot lighter but strong. I would also incorporate a better keyboard from IBM, which will give a better feel while typing. In addition I will add finger print biometrics, faster solid state drives and other features lacking in Apple’s current lineup but do it in a minimalistic fashion pioneered by Apple. One would not even notice the finger print reader; it would just be an area on the notebook where you can slide your finger. Or better yet I will integrate it into the gigantic track pad. Fuck, I will even build a micro projector into the notebooks just to fuck with apple and make my notebook lineup outshine apple’s lineup.

Building a pretty notebook, without annoying Intel inside or Vista stickers and loading a free os like google chrome and undercutting Apple higher prices, I see a market waiting to explode. The prices of the laptops will be higher than all the crappy windows pc’s out there but will still be lower than apple’s notebooks. Also I won’t charge super high prices for ram and additional upgrades hence still enabling hobbyists to configure their computers, as they like. Yes, these laptops will be google os based and will kick all the other computers' asses with their speed, beauty and function.
