4. iOS UPDATE [Apple.com]

FIRST RELEASE: jOBS 

∆ I’m not sure how I feel about Kutcher as Steve…
I mean, he looks the part, but his voice is still that iconic dopey/goofy tone that I’m familiar with. I’m sure it’ll just take some time to get used to. Overall, it’s that last line that does it for me :)

PS: Happy Birthday Macintosh!

APPLE 23.10.12 EVENT: iPad Mini  Much like the iPhone5 event,  this is the announcement that everyone was expecting, but for some reason still seemed to be unsure of. What is it? Just a smaller version of something that already exists. A device meant to directly compete with tablets from Samsung and Google. It’s an iPad, for people that thought the iPad was too big…so…my mom. This was made for my mom. I’m more interested in how this upgrades their line of products. Notice how there is no OG iPad on there? Yeah, that’s bad news for a guy like me, who is still perfectly happy with my first version of this great product.

APPLE 23.10.12 EVENT: iMac  Did you ever think that a desktop could get this tiny? Forget my friend Carl’s massive 27” screen…this is what makes my baby look obsolete! While all the basic upgrades apply, like an even more HD’er cam, dual mics, and a screen that’s more resistant to glare…you have to wonder “How is this possible? Where does everything fit?”  INTRODUCING: The FUSION DRIVECombine an SSD and HDD and you’ve got the ability to paper thin desktop computers. On top of that they also announced an upgrade version of the 13” MacBook Pro which looks like a beefed up version of the MacBook Air.
