I read a few days ago that a New iPod may come out even sooner than the Zune HD. Well, I guess that puts a bigger emphasis on Apple’s victory over Microsoft. Also, a lot of these Netbooks are coming out. There was also this one announcement from Apple that they’ll be coming out with their own. You can also see a lot of what it might look like if you do an image search in google for “apple netbook”. Well this is the truth. Netbooks are small and eye straining. Most of them have keyboards so tiny, you’ll be pressing two keys at a time. Don’t get me started on the battery life. While my white Macbook sports a 5-hour operating time, my girlfriend’s HP Mini 2133 can only do one hour (1:30 tops). What’s the point of carrying around a laptop all day, which you can only use for an hour? Well, I guess it’s the “chic” image.
Also, I read somewhere that they also might be phasing out all the iPods and just keep the iPod touch and the iPhone. Well, that’s fine by me. I never owned an iPod anyway. But notice this, the first iPod that came out was white. Also, the first Notebook by Apple was also white. Now, they seem to be getting rid of everything white. Well, they’re leaving a white macbook. Everything else is black and silver. It’s just like basketball and politics. Goodbye white, hello black. Well you have to admit, black is stylish. Wonder if they’ll ever paint that place in DC and call it the Black House.
I didn’t see GI Joe and Transformers 2. I couldn’t find the time and money. Well, mostly, the money. I saw Ice Age 3 and Terminator Salvation though. Both movies were fine but I just don’t think it’s worth paying $15 for. I could have bootlegged a copy and still enjoyed it. Oh by the way, you can. Good R5 copies are out there somewhere.
My Xbox 360 finally had its last breath. I just experienced the 3 red lights and it won’t turn on anymore. I have to give it some credit though. It’s one of the original Xenon units. It did 3 years and it was about time. RIP Xbox. I wasn’t playing anything on it anyway. Last I did was NBA 2k9, which I enjoyed.
Oh and I’m on Facebook and I waste a lot of my time on it. Twitter, I don’t pay much attention to these days. There are a lot more things to do on Facebook than Twitter. But I’m hitting two birds with one stone. I post both on my Facebook and Twitter status using Tweetdeck. Nifty app and works for me.
I’m getting sleepy now. I have places to go and people to kill tomorrow. Y’all take care.

Apple is a fly compared to Microsoft. Apple isn't winning anything.
If you are using a netbook with battery life like that, you either have to get your battery checked out or you aren't using a netbook.
Once they have flash drives as big and cheap as hard drives which are currently used in the iPod, there is no sense continuing the line. That doesn't necessarily mean that they will only have the Touch. I'm pretty sure the Nano and the Shuffle will still be around. The iPod classic though is probably going bye bye. 32GB on my 1st Gen Touch ... who needs a classic anymore anyway?
GI Joe and Transformers 2 were meh ... so you saved yourself some good cash.
RIP 360 I guess. There are people who fix that locally at pinoyxbox.com. You might want to check it out.
If you want to update multiple social sites ... check out ping.fm.
Hmmm. I didn't consider the other aspects of the business that Microsoft has gone into. The gaming, the search engine, the apps and all. Apple just have the computers and mp3 players, no where near Microsoft's venture. My bad.
The netbook's battery has been like that since it was bought. Maybe we should have it checked. Or easier, just sell it and get another one. Heh.
Okay. GI Joe and Transformers 2 weren't really on the top of my list anyway.
I don't want to have to send my 360 to Manila to have it fixed seeing as most pinoyxbox users are mostly from Manila. I'll just spend another $200 more or less for a falcon or jasper unit to save some aggravation. Heh.
I think I'll stick to Tweetdeck for now. I'll do ping.fm once Tweetdeck isn't enough for me anymore. Heheh.
