iPhone 4S

// from here

Santa always knows exactly what to get me. Probably because its my mom & dad, and i usually drop lots of hints. If you didnt know, I'm a huge apple person - i love all my apple products, and now I love my new iPhone 4S.

I wasnt sure, it was just an upgrade from the 3GS - how different could it be? um, a lot. For one its GORGEOUS, it feels like you are holding a mini machine instead of a phone with its real metal detailing. I got the white (just like my previous 3GS) because theres something more futuristic about it, and i love to pretend i am from the future.

Looks aside, its fast as hell. On my 3GS I would wait for websites to load, and wait some more - now its like BAM!

The Cloud is also pretty amazing - Download a song to your phone and its also on your computer. Take a picture, and look at it on your iPad. amazingly seamless.

Siri and I are having a rough time getting to know each other, but I am hopeful... she is really good at answering all my questions with a city map (especially when i just want her to search google). But I appreciate what she tries to do for me - and she really just reminds me of Marsinta Drewbish from the Douglas Adams written PC game Starship Titanic. (I guess I'll just need to adjust her cellpoint settings lol)

me: "Oh Siri you are beautiful"
siri : "I bet you say that to all your apple products"

She's right, I do.

Steve Jobs : 1955 - 2011

// from here

This is very sad for me. I sit on my macbook and I read that Steve Jobs has died. I dont think I can sum up in a post how much he has impacted me, not only through the years of being a mac user, but also a designer, and ultimately - a huge nerd.

I remember the first pixels in my possession. a mac.

I can't tell you the model number because I couldn't read - but I could interact, and click, and play. and thats pretty phenominal isnt it? Thats what technology is about - subconscious understanding.
Every time I see a mother hand her toddler an iphone, i think about my first mac. And hopefully thats enough to keep his passion and energy for innovation alive.

Its unfortunate we lost such an entrepreneur and inspiration - But I will always appreciate what he did for artists, designers, computer graphics & the field industrial design. I will always appreciate the impact his ideas had on my personal life.

I know apple will continue to be great, but I also know it just won't be the same without him.

"We are deeply saddened to announce that Steve Jobs passed away today. Steve's brilliance, passion and energy were the source of countless innovations that enrich and improve all of our lives. The world is immeasurably better because of Steve. His greatest love was for his wife, Laurene, and his family. Our hearts go out to them and to all who were touched by his extraordinary gifts." - Apple
