Took a quick shot of the inside of my our MacBook Pro.
It was easy to open the case; popped it open in just a couple minutes. When I lifted the bottom off it was another beautiful sight. It’s always amazing to look inside the hidden parts of Apple technology. I’ve always loved to look inside electronics at the wonder of vacumn tubes to circuit boards.
But I must say that Apple machines are exceptionally so.

Isn’t technology great? The power of individual creativity enabled by digital technology.
Great song too.
Read MoreNook is the tablet with the power. The Kindle Fire is a budget reader to sell from the Amazon Store. The Nook, that’s another story. Amazon will get the budget market with people that think it is more.
Read MoreWith the Nook Color, Barnes & Noble hit on the first winning tablet strategy not patterned after the iPad. With firmware updates, B&N steadily improved the capability of the device, adding Flash, games, and Android apps. Now, though, media heavyweight Amazon is looking to follow the same strategy to blow Barnes & Noble out of the water.
People are infatuated with Apple announcing it. It’s good marketing, but at least as the technological capability you could argue that Microsoft has had a similar capability in Windows Phones for more than a year, since Windows Phone 7 was introduced.

Are you kidding me?
Watch this and compare the technologies for yourself.

Ok, so a QR Code won’t get us to shop at J. C. Penny but it sure put the retailer on our radar. It has such a different feel from all the bland stuff that they have done until now.
So who’s your Santa?
Read MoreWe’re just about to embark on making a Google+ page. We’ll report our findings. This little except from Fast Company warms our heart.

Google+ wants to put meaningful, noncommittal human contact back into social networking, to filter out the weird high school acquaintance who became a “friend” 15 years later, to protect grandma from a particularly atheistic grandson rant or, just maybe, to shield all these casual users living their lives from the wide-eyed, Zoloft-fueled PR happy voice that has become every single brand on social networks.
Whether businesses like it or not, Google knows: Meaningful interaction isn’t eating Pizza Hut and subsequently marrying it.

We’re Making Pages Better (yeah right)
We want to make sure the tools you use to manage your page are as effective as possible. Here’s an update that may affect how you connect with your audience:
Improvements to Insights: You’ll now see a new public metric called People Talking About This underneath your fan count to show the number of people on Facebook who have engaged with your page in the last 7 days. Learn more in your Page Insights.

With Google Wallet, NJ TRANSIT rail and bus customers have the option to use their smartphones to tap and pay for transportation tickets at select locations.
Torn about this whole method. I have to pull out my expensive smart phone to “tap” something? So each day I risk dropping or losing my phone at least two more times? We all know how this works with security cards and transpasses — always a bit sloppy. Well maybe Americans can do it. After all the Japanese have been doing this for years.
