I know I’m a huge Apple fan and freak for that matter but technology is technology, and gadgets are gadgets I love everything that is electronic even if it’s bad for me.
Thanks Dareen for the heads up!
I know I’m an Apple freak but last year I got seduced by the Blackberry Playbook and I actually purchased one from Omaha Nebraska while visiting my sister. Unfortunately I got bored of it quickly as it didn’t give me much functionality and hence it was lost in my room until I found it underneath a pile of books.
Well guess what?
Today, right now, the 2.0 Update is available which will magically transfer your Playbook into something else (I keep fearing I will write Playboy but then again I might not tehehe).
I wanted to write about this earlier but better late than never. Two weeks ago announced a 50 day promotion starting on October 12th at 12:00AM in which they offer their iPhone/iPodTouch and iPad users 50GB FREE for signing up and downloading the app.
Some might ask what is Box.net? Well if you heard of and it is very similar but it allows you to have storage space that isn’t limited to your mobile device.
This promotion is only running for 50 days, so to get your free space in the cloud you have to follow the following steps:
1. Visit the app store and download the Box app for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch []
2. Log into your account or register for a new one directly from the app.
3. Start sharing and collaborating in the cloud
4. Tell others about it (Optional)
Something interesting about the app si that your account will have an increased file size upload limit of 100MB instead of the usual 25MB therefore you can upload 100MB files directly without having to compress them! The app also has the ability to use AirPlay which you can use to stream Box content to an Apple TV for effortless projection of photos, videos, presentations and more.
Sounds great? Then rush over there and grab it! I did the second I heard about it.

MacWorld is not yet here and we have had a busy few weeks with announcements from Apple. On the 6th of January, Apple launched the Mac App Store within a Software Update for Snow Leopard and it is one of the awesomest things out there, it really ties almost all of Apple’s products to one interface in which we have an iTunes Store, iTunes App Store, and now a Mac App Store. All our software available in one area for download whether it’s free or not, you will be able to find it.
Another important announcement last week on the 11th of January was the “Verizon iPhone” finally appearing and joining the “AT&T iPhone”. Apple has finally given US consumers the option to have a choice between the two different service providers. Some of the key features that the “Verizon iPhone” has are: CDMA device rather than a GSM which means it is not going to take advantage of the higher speeds of their 4G Network, it looks exactly the same as the iPhone 4 however with a redesigned Antenna style, and will run iOS 4.2.5 which has the special feature of “Personal Hotspot” in other words you can have your personal Mi-Fi on your iPhone now. [] [][] The Verizon iPhone will be available on the 10th of February 2011. [][]
[Apple] iOS 4.2 & Apple iOS 4.1 is Out Etc.
Last night was the best day ever because I got my lovely packages and one of them included the Apple TV. But that’s not the reason why it rocked, we also got iOS 4.2 for the iPad, iPhone, & iPod Touch to be released!
Lots of features are included in it but one of the most craved ones is AirPlay and I literally can’t wait to try it out later on today. Different sites reviewed AirPlay and told us what to expect from it, it’s simply having your videos, photos, and music streamed wirelessly around your house via AppleTV or Airport Express. Check out the reviews below.

Before Eid started in a day we got a beautiful Eidiya from Apple in the form of the latest released firmware of the iOS 4.1 the edition which brought us much needed bug fixes such as (Bluetooth, Proximity Sensor, [Battery Life Improvement - Something which I saw and felt], and so much more), as well as the introduction of HDR, GameCenter, and more features. I’ve been using it for quite sometime right now and I like it, although it took a while to download since this update was 589MB in size.
So for those of you who haven’t updated yet? What are you waiting for?! If you haven’t jailbroken your iPhone then go ahead and quickly download this update.
Ever since the full switch last Friday, I’ve been downloading new Software and testing them out, and thanks to a friend’s recommendation (read: ) I decided to try one of the coolest softwares out there, that all TV Show Addicts who own Macs should try.
It’s called “” currently it’s in 0.3.4version and they are working on the 1.0 version but it’s great nonetheless.
So what does it do?
Well simple, are you addicted to watching TV Shows and everyday check Torrent sites to download the Torrents? Well if you are, do you actually have the time to actually go and check the sites or are you swamped with work most of your day that you miss out the minute that these torrents are released? If yes, then this software is for you.
You basically get a list of TV Shows available, you subscribe to them, and select the type of quality you want the TV Show to be downloaded in, then you turn off the program. Of course you have to have a Torrent Download (Recommendation: Transmission) you will then notice that the day the torrent is out, or even the second it is, Transmission is launched on its own and the torrent added to start downloading. So you come home from work, not having to worry about if the request you put in with one of your siblings or family to start the download on your Computer is done. It’s already downloaded and ready for you to watch.
That’s what I felt today and the past few days when I got home, Tuesday, I got home and saw that Heroes was already done and seeding, Chuck done as well. And I didn’t have to sit and wait every morning until one of the torrents were released.
So in short, I HIGHLY Recommend the program to all you TV Addicts.
Note: There are some popular shows that aren’t there but it’s not a big deal because 1 or 2 shows is okay in comparison to downloading a trillion others ;)
