From My Point Of View

Apple released the new iMAC!

- It’s available from Today!

Apple announced an overhaul of its iMac line Tuesday, replacing the white enclosure of its all-in-one desktop with a new aluminum-and-glass design. In addition to its new look, the updated iMac—announced at a press briefing at Apple’s Cupertino, Calif., headquarters—also comes in 20- and 24-inch versions, eliminating the entry-level 17-inch offering.

The new iMacs, available with processor speeds ranging from 2GHz to 2.4GHz, also come at a lower price than their comparably-sized predecessors. The 20-inch 2GHz iMac sells for $1,199—$300 less than the 20-inch 2.16GHz machine it replaces (and priced the same as the now-discontinued 17-inch 2GHz iMac). A new 24-inch 2.4GHz model sells for $1,799, $200 less than the old 24-inch 2.16GHz iMac.

In addition to a new look for its enclosure, the iMac also sports a similar-looking keyboard design. The aluminum Apple Keyboard is 0.33 inches thin at its front edge; it also sports dedicated keys for Exposé, Dashboard, and media controls, among other functions.

The iMac line features two 20-inch configurations and one 24-inch model, priced at $1,199, $1,499, and $1,799.

Greg F. Packer can be the “first” iPhone owner at Fifth Avenue in New York.

Greg F. Packer (born December 18, 1963), an American highway maintenance worker from Huntington, New York, has been quoted in more than 100 articles and television broadcasts as a member of the public (that is, a person on the street rather than a newsmaker or expert).

Packer’s status as a frequent interviewee came about due to his hobby of attending public appearances of celebrities and other media events and being first in line on such occasions, leading to him being dubbed a professional line sitter. He has consequently had the opportunity to meet people including Mariah Carey, Garth Brooks, Dennis Rodman, and Ringo Starr, as well as at least three presidents of the United States: Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, and George W. Bush.

Most recently, he is credited as being the first in line to purchase a iPhone at the Apple Store at Fifth Avenue in New York. He began camping in front of the store at 5:00 a.m. on Monday, June 25, 2007, four days before the scheduled release.

On the Homepage I already talked about “Think Different” AD video .
I just installed a great WP plugin called Embadded Video, so I put this video here as a test.

I put the text of the AD under the video.

Enjoy it!

Here’s to the crazy ones

“Here’s to the crazy ones.

The misfits.

The rebels.

The troublemakers.

The round pegs in the square holes*.

The ones who see things differently.

They’re not fond of rules.

And they have no respect for the status quo.

You can praise them, disagree with them, quote them,

disbelieve them, glorify or vilify them.

About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them.

Because they change things.

They invent. They imagine. They heal.

They explore. They create. They inspire.

They push the human race forward.

Maybe they have to be crazy.

How else can you stare at an empty canvas and see a work of art?
Or sit in silence and hear a song that’s never been written?
Or gaze at a red planet and see a laboratory on wheels?

We make tools for these kinds of people.

While some see them as the crazy ones,
we see genius.

Because the people who are crazy enough to think
they can change the world, are the ones who do.”

– Apple Inc.

* round peg in a square hole

Also, square peg in a round hole. A misfit, especially a person unsuited for a position or activity.
For example, Ruth doesn’t have the finesse for this job; she’s a round peg in a square hole.
This idiom, with its graphic image of something that cannot fit, dates from about 1800.
