The Big(gest) Apple
Friday, May 16, 2008
Right across from the Prudential tower in Boylston street now stands a glass building which is now the Beantown's new claim to fame. Around 1000 crazy fans stood in line for more than 6 hours to become the first to enter the new Apple store in Boston - claimed to be the biggest in US.
So how does it look ? Well its a 3 storey glass structure that stands sandwiched between 2 good old brick buildings - definitely an odd man out but you start feeling the buzz as you approach the doors which are now wide open to the public till 11 pm.
Sneaked out of my office today to have a quick peek; obviously was crowded. I believe no matter what time of the day you go there - its gonna have the buzz. Soon it would become (if it hasn't already) a tourist spot , a must visit for anyone visiting Boston. Media, Common man, Photographers were on a clicking spree today and why not - you get some real good pictures with all the Glass thingy that they've come up with.
The store as such is filled with AAPL gadgets. Some that I had seen before and some that I hadn't. The iMacs for example really look good. The huge 21" screens are superb indeed. With just two wired pieces (mouse and the keyboard) it really does avoid a clutter.
You need not look more than a yard to catch the attention of an Apple Rep (Not sure if they call themselves something else ... an iRep for one). Any questions you have can be answered then and there. 3rd floor of the store is the so called "Genius Bar". They even have demo sessions and info sessions out there. All you gotta do is register yourselves for a session and be there with your Macbook / Pro.
All in all a nice layout some awesome display of their gadgets. The Spiral stairs they have that go through the center is cool too (much similar to the one in Manhattan). Very much hyped though, not sure if its worth the hype. You're probably better off buying stuff online. ;-)
Feels nice to be back punching out here. Hope to keep posting often.

Don't Clutter, Buy a Mac
Tuesday, August 07, 2007
Yes. Its all up there right in front of you. Apple released the latest version of their Mac today - a new Keyboard as thin as a cardboard, glass monitors. The HDD, CD/DVD drives, USB ports, firewire ports, jack for speakers/headphones, built in camera, microphone - everything's there in the pic you see above.
The standard version of Mac includes the following -
And if you get their bluetooth Keyboard and Mouse, you'd have just one power cord - the one that plugs in your monitor/CPU

Everything Mac
Friday, July 06, 2007
Couldn't wait any longer - a week since I ordered a Macbook, it reached my hands yesterday. Can't believe Fedex took a week to deliver the product from PA. But they say right - all's well that ends well? I opened the package switched the Macbook ON and there it was. As easy as 1-2-3 (believe me when they say its that easy - you better believe them). I just have one word for it and the experience thus far - AWESOME !!!
Its been a catching up game for me; I bought an iPod when the MAC craziness had started and here I am getting hooked to the MAC when the iPhone craziness has kicked off.
The graphics, the ease with which one can get used to it (including the keyboard), the MAC world that you get sucked into - has to be seen to be believed. Anyways, soon its gonna be bye-bye to Mr. Gates and his Windows (though I will have to use it at work)
I was a PC now I'm a Mac

Spot the 10 differences
Sunday, March 25, 2007
Just a quick comparison. Can you spot the 10 differences between these two video feeds? Let me give you a heads up. The first one is the actual Apple 1984 video while the second one is a spoof. Watch both, they're interesting in their own respect. I do recommend you put some thought into the second one ...
