Right on! Happy New year guys and gals. It’s 2009, and we are here assembled to celebrate a new year of more awesome technologies and new announcements from the Biggies. January implies Macworld, which means some cool announcements from the house of Apple. But with Steve Jobs not presenting the Keynote, the fizz is a bit low. Also, this is Apple’s last Macworld. Nevertheless, Apple fanboys are assembled and are already speculating some of the rumours making waves all across. Upto you if you want to believe them.
1. New iMac , New Mac Mini
Macrumors suggest that this is one of the most likely ones to happen. New hardware releases. [Continue Reading]

This post has nothing to do with accusing Steve Jobs of not entertaining us enough this year at the Macworld Keynote. I guess, Gates stole the show with his short feature with Matthew McConaughey and Jon Stewart this January. But well, the question is, all that hype of “There’s something in the air” has probably gone down the drain by now, even as Day 2 of Macworld 2008 is yet to begin. The Macbook Air at the first look, looks like an engineering marvel pushed to the limits, but have a closer glance and you realise, it is pretty much an useless decorative piece adding to your unused pile of fort gadget, collected soley for one reason-you love Steve Jobs no matter what.Let’s try to justify this by point by point.
At a price of $1,799 , it’s a shit load expensive and the features that it offers is not at all justified for the price you pay. After all, what rules at the end of the day is the user experience, not the slim design. [Continue Reading]

The online world has completely gone frenzy with rumors, speculations and the like about the Macworld and the “Air” campaign. Industry experts are going gaga over the possibility of a new Macbook called the Macbook Air, supposed to be ultra thin, and light and powerful as well. But is it being just way too overhyped, solely for the reason that Macworld 2007 was the platform where iPhone was announced. Has the hype just gone overboard? I personally think, Steve might face a tough challenge to live up to the expectations of the fanboys as well as the Industry invigilators who are scrutinizing Apple’s each and every move. Nevertheless it all gets revealed in just a few hours from now, and time for me to press the F5 button.Here is the list of those who’d be live-blogging the Macworld 2008.
Wish me luck!!!!

If Apple has the stuff right now, it won’t let CES take over the headlines, even if Macworld is scheduled next week. That’s what they showed, with the Mac Pro Launch, the fastest Mac ever, launched with the Premiere of Intel’s Quadro-Core Processors, PENRYN. This is BIG NEWS actually, because Intel is choosing Apple as the very first computers to use the new Chip technology. And to have announced that a week prior to the Keynotes at Macworld is quite shocking. Or as Gizmodo guys suggest here, is it just the tip of the iceberg? Only Steve knows what he has under his sleeve. So what can we expect from Macworld 2008? Industry experts are rumoring about iTunes with HD Support, New Office and a Better Leopard. What do we expect over here? Is it too early to ask for the launch of the iPhone Mac OS SDK?Or perhaps, a further reduction of the iPhone price? Or may be more bizarre, an unlocked iPhone totally, no holds barred, thumbs down to AT&T. I should really stop speculating now and let Steve reveal the STUFF in a week.
