Hello folks and welcome to another edition of Triple T. Lets see what is happening this week.
New MacBook Pro’s
Apple this past week refreshed the pro editions of the MacBook series. Of note is the addition of the Intel Core i5 and i7 processors. No word on when the regular MacBook will get an update. But you can read the specs on them here.
Apple going AMD?
Interesting note here, per AppleInsider, Apple has not only talked about using AMD chips in future hardware but is using test ones in their labs. Course I kind of like the relationship Apple has with Intel as it is but hey whatever makes the systems faster, go for it!
Apple Country
So ever wonder how your region of the country stands in Apple ownership? Well there is a map for that. It measures not just Apple Mac hardware but also iPhone and iPod and I would imagine iPad’s too. Quite an interesting map to read and apparently I am in a mission territory for an Apple user.
Google bringing printing to the Cloud
This missing link as it were, glad Google is working to resolve it though. It will be a lot easier to print from an iPad for example than this way.
CableCo’s team up for NYC WiFI
Good news if you live in NYC, Comcast, Time Warner, and Cablevision are teaming up for city-wide WiFi. This ought to give San Francisco a run for its money in terms of city friendly WiFi access.
This Week’s iPhone/iPod touch/iPad apps
Opera Mini Browser (Free) - Yes it has finally happened! Apple approved a competing browser app to Safari. My initial reaction is it is nice but it can’t remember the pages I had opened on it after an hour or so. So it has some room for growth there.
ZYRTEC AllergyCast (Free) - Very cool app here for those prone to allergies like I am with Pollen. Perfect for the traveler away from home.
Well that is going to do it for this weeks Tuesday Tech Talk. See you all next week with more news!
