Pebble.Smart Watch.. Review..!!

Pebble Smart Watch
So wearable tech is the thing that is floating in the air for quiet a while, so i got a Pebble about a week ago. And my experience with the Pebble was pretty amazing it does helps with a lot of stuff and you don't have to take your phone about of your pocket every time you have a notification or to select music.. which is really convenient ..
so with out any further due let's start the review.

Hardware Or Design  

Pebble has a very understated design but it does comes it a variety of colors, it has a 1.26-inch transflective LCD display, with screen resolution of 144 x 168.. it has nice viewing angles so you can see the time or any notifications you wish to see if you can see your wrist, and the display stays on all the time unlike the Galaxy Gear which stays on for a few seconds only..
And talking about the screen it is not a touch screen watch like it's competitors, it has buttons on the side to controls which is pretty nice ..

IT has 4 button in total, one on the the left of the watch it is used as a back key and just below the back button there is a magnetic charging port.which i'll be talking about later, on the other side are three buttons, the middle one is to select apps and pause and play music, the two left are used to navigate through the apps or to change watch faces and to navigate to tracks..

It has a magnetic charging port not the regular 2.0 microUSB port which we are used to of, the charging port has two small dots, above and below those dots you will see two small magnets and the looks will be same and the charging cable..
Magnetic Charger













It can Go up to a week in one charge if you don't use it too much, but mine went out of charge with in 5 days, It is till better than that of the Galaxy Gears..

It does not have a camera but i don't think you need a camera on your wrist..

It's has rubber straps which i feels ok.. but has a lot of room for change so if you want to change the strap you can ..

Software and Specifications

It has a bit of ancient looking OS like we had in old Nokia devices that our dads owned, but i is simple and easy to use you can get used to easily in a day.
It will show you, SMS you get or any other kind of notification you can read the whole unless it's too big, if it's larger than what it can show the extra part will be cut out.. and once you have checked the notifications they are gone, like forever you cannot read them again on your watch.
But it is done to save up some space for the up coming notifications..

It's has some games like the Snakes, and Now Pebble has it's own app store, to change new watch faces and get more apps like the Pedometer ans your watch will do the work of fitness band..
                                   







And it is water proof for up to 5 meters and if you set an alarm or reminder it'll vibrate on you hand..that will definitely get your attention.

Watch Faces
It is more convenient than taking phone out of your pocket every time you have a notification.. If your phone is charging in some other room and you are watching TV you can still check notifications without reaching to your phone, It's bluetooth connection has a really wide range.. It's compatible to almost any Android or iOS device out there..

If you want to get a smart watch i strongly recommend the Pebble..This is it.. 

IF you have a Pebble tell me you experience in the comments section down below.. and if you don't give a thought to it..

                                                                Peace...

Lenovo acquires Motorola From Google..!!

Google announced that it has reached an agreement to sell Motorola Mobility to Lenovo. The Chinese electronics giant will pay approximately $2.91 billion for the smartphone business with $1.41 billion due at the deal's closing in cash and ordinary shares, and the remaining $1.5 billion as a three-year promissory note.



As part of the deal, Google will retain the bulk of Motorola's massive patent portfolio, including current applications and invention disclosures. Lenovo will acquire about 2,000 patent alongside the Motorola Mobility brand and it's trademarks. The Chinese company will receive a license for the remainder of Motorola's portfolio which will remain at Mountain View.

After acquiring Motorola for $12.5 billion in 2012, Google raised the company's profile last year with the launch of the characterful Moto X and the Moto G duo of smartphones. Despite it's efforts however, Motorola Mobility continued losing money each quarter.

Motorola's acquisition will give Lenovo a much needed presence on the lucrative smartphone market in the United States (Motorola is currently number 3 smartphone manufacturer in the United States). It will also help the company counter the slumping sales of personal computers by expanding it's focus on mobile devices.

Furthermore, the deal marks the acquisition of another legendary American technology brand by Lenovo back in 2005, The company bought the venerable ThinkPad division from IBM

The transaction between the two companies is subject to regulatory approvals in both the United States and China.

Top 5 Tech Myths..!!

Today we are going to take a look at the top 5 tech myths and when i say top in this case it means the top 5 that are sort of floating around right now.
Some of you may already know these myths and some of them you might actually be a victim of thinking are true ..So with out any further due let's take a look at this list..
  1. Camera- Megapixels
    The myth is the more megapixels, the better. And this my be true in some very limited cases but. Honestly this isn't the complete picture this would be true if the only thing that matters and differentiated cameras was the number of megapixels or sensors..but it does not, a good camera is made by overall good optics so a good lens, fast lens, good glass, overall wide aperture those things make up a good lens and the sensor behind them all.
  2. This is another myth that fall underneath the Cameras- megapixels section, and the myth is that An 8MP photo is twice as tall and twice as wide than a 4MP photo. An 8Megapixel image resolution has twice as many pixels as a 4 Megapixel pixel image resolution, but as you can see it doesn't doubles the vertical and horizontal pixels it's just total million pixels and total 4 million pixels, so you don't have to worry about having a drastically larger image when you go from 18MP to 22MP..It's not really a gigantic noticeable difference..

  3. (Insert Tweak here) will drastically speed up your computer, it is completely false and this is kind of like the worst myth out there, because they spread more frequently than the other types of myths, it's because everyone is looking for a quick, free, effortless, painless, way to like drastically speed up your PC or phone, but honestly Android task killers are a perfectly controversial example.
    Task killers on Android were originally meant to free up RAM and in tun to saving battery life because it's killing processes that's using CPU cycles and RAM but that turned out to be the little placebo effect because Android itself is very good at managing memory ..
    Honestly there is no magical thing you can do to drastically speed you your PC but the most common secret that people don't actually know is Maintenance just actually taking care of what you actually do on your computer and actually know what you are installing or downloading .. just know what you are doing and you will be fine..
  4. Macs can't get Viruses i am not even going to scratch the surface on this one but yes, Macs can get viruses every computer user whether or not they have a anti-virus installed whether or not they are on Mac OS, Linux , Windows or any other operating system needs to be careful about what they click and what they download.
    Macintosh
    There is some truth to the fact that there are more viruses for Windows as compared to there are for Macs, But think of it as a perspective of a malicious hacker, if you are going to write a virus who are you going to write it for?.. Windows because is on 90% of the active computers out there active on the internet today , but yes Macs can get viruses Be Careful..
  5. If you don't safely eject the USB drive it'll explode The idea behind this is actually want to avoid unplugging your USB drives while it's in the process if read or writing data.. So if it's doing something and you unplug it while it's doing that thing you might corrupt the file it was writing.. If you drag a picture from the USB drive just unplug it while it was writing the picture, you pretty much just lost the picture..

    But if it's idle if you are not reading or writing any data you can just unplug it, It's very safe..
That is it, tell me if you are confused about some weird information that everyone is talking about write it in the comments section and i'll be happy to inquire it..
                                                             Peace...

Rumor Mill..!!

Nexus 5 Coming in Red..!!!

LG might be readying new colorful edition for the Nexus 5 flagship after all. First we saw what seemed to be an official Play Store listing with new six colors - yellow, red, blue, green, orange and purple. Unfortunately this turned out to be fake.And just when we thought the rumor is dead, we saw a red Nexus 5 posing in front of camera.

A whole batch of red-flavored Nexus 5 retail boxes. you can see official markings, IMEIs, Serial numbers and everything.

It seems the red Nexus 5 is real and will probably launch shortly. The previous rumors suggested a yellow edition is coming soon to, so those six new flavors might deserve the benefit of doubt..

Tell me what you think about the red Nexus 5 in the comments section down below..
                                                             Peace...

Top 5 Wearable Tech..!!

2014 is said to be the year of wearable tech..Electronics that are physically attached to your body But what good is that? why does anyone want that?, To put a super long story ,super simple and short . In 2007 Apple reinvented the smartphone with the new iPhone and made a lot of money out of that.

Now everybody has a smartphone so now companies are scrambling to find the next big thing the next big para-dime shift that will make the first good one a lot of money.. And they all seem to think it's something wearable.
And it is kind of cool to get glance-able information without getting your phone out of the pocket, not that it's much effort to do that, a watch is already perfect to do that you can glance and look at the time. with out having to unlock your phone.

These are first bits of wearable tech we have seen in 2014, they are almost beta, This is an attempt to be the iPhone of the wearable round.
Hopefully the list will be very different by the end of 2014..

So with out any further due here are the top five wearable tech option we have now.
  1. Qualcomm Toq smart watch
    This is a really interesting watch for a lot of reasons, number 1 is definitely it's display it's called the Mirasol display, it's a pretty new technology that Qualcomm has thrown into this, that gives it incredible outdoor viewing ability, it's got great viewing angles great brightness, and you can view it outside no matter how the reflections are shining of this thing. 
    Toq Smart watch
    But UI is the down side it's confusing, this is not an easy to use smart watch, it's no intuitive the UI isn't good there is a bit of learning curve and that would be the bad side about it.. and at the end of the day it's not much faster than taking your phone out of your pocket.
  2. Samsung Galaxy Gear
    It has a battery life that lasts about two days or so with regular use and it's got whole bunch of different watch faces, over all it's very appealing it's one of the best looking accessory that Samsung made for it's stuff.
    Galaxy Gear
    And that's is it's down side, this is an accessory to a Samsung device it only works with less than a dozen devices right now and if you don't have now of those devices The Galaxy Note 3 or the Galaxy S4 or one of their new tablets, it's really just a watch not a smart watch..
    And even if you do have one of those devices , a lot of the notification aren't full featured, it'll only tell you that you have a notification you should check your phone..
    I don't see the point of wearing a smart watch in this case ..

    Review of the Galaxy Gear, Link is at the bottom.
  3. Google Glass: Explorer Edition
    It's the only one in the list that is not on your wrist, and honestly it's really interesting technology it's essentially a heads-up display to real life you constantly have a display and a camera and every time you wear it you have that instant access to actual notification from your iOS or Android device.
    Google Glass
    The fact that you have to wear it on your face so it's really light weight so there is not a great battery backup, but the real down side is when you wear it you look like a Cyborg..and when you have a camera attached to your face that can make a lot of people uncomfortable..
    and also it's $1500 but that will hopefully be changing this year when we see the full consumer edition Google Glass..
    Google Glass
  4. FitBit Force
    It's actually really cool and awesome product it's a fitness band and it does everything under the moon it tracks a whole bunch of things about your daily activity and about your nightly activity. It works on any iOS or Android device with Bluetooth 4.0 and above and there are plenty of other fitness band there is the Nike Fuel band and LG Life Band touch and a whole bunch of things that this FitBit does but in different combinations but FitBit really does everything it does all of the things during the day your dieting the number of steps you take, Calories burned and even a sleep timer and the sleep activity tracker ..
    You can look back at your day and see what you did and try to beat the record there is whole bunch of awesome stuff that goes on with this ..
    FitBit
  5. Pebble Smart watch
    This is the only company on this list that only does wearable tech,This company Pebble started with very successful kick starter project, where they did the first iteration of the Pebble smart watch and now recently at CES the showed off the second iteration Pebble steel, But more importantly there is an app store only for Pebble, because of all the third party sites that were doing it any way..
    Pebble Smart Watch
    And Pebble has the advantage of being able to focus a 100% on the smart watch concept because that is all they do.
    And the Pebble Smart watch doesn't do everything that the Galaxy gear does with the camera or with the taking and receiving voice calls, But the Things that it does do it does very very well, the new app store they are putting together will allow more functionality to the device.. Because obviously there are going to be more apps ...
    So glance-able information will probably be it's best on a Pebble..
    Pebble Smart Watch with Pebble Steel..!!
    First impressions of the Pebble Smart watch is down at the Bottom..
There you go those are the Top 5 wearable tech available right now ..Tell me your thoughts about this list or tell me your list if you have one in the comments section down below..
                                                           Peace..

Nokia X... (Normandy) Specs leak..!!

The Nokia X a.k.a Nokia Normandy, has been talked about for some time now. The latest information regarding Nokia's first ever Android smartphone comes again from evleaks. Who has provided some of the key specs of the device.



One of the leaked specifications is a dual-core 1GHz Snapdragon Processor. Exact SoC is unknown but previous reports had suggested  the Snapdragon 200 8225Q, although that is a quad-core chi.The phone will also have 512MB of RAM and 4GB of storage memory.

Other specs include a 4-inch,WVGA (800x480) display, 5MP sensor, dual-SIM support and a 1,500mAh battery. If there was any doubt that this is going to be a low-end device, this should take care of it.

The Nokia X will have Nokia's own application store on boar, like Amazon has it's Kindle Fire devices but you will also be able to install third party apps by slideloading them. The phone will allegedly be available in Six colors

                                                                Peace...

Pebble smart watch- First Impressions..!!


Pebble Smart watch
I just got my Pebble smart watch.. about 4 days ago, i already have a Galaxy Gear but that is only compatible with top of the line Samsung devices and i don't have Galaxy Note3 or Galaxy S4 as my daily driver i use the Nexus 5 so the Galaxy Gear is just sitting in a box..

I got the Pebble smart watch cause it is compatible with all Android and iOS devices so it works perfectly fine with the Nexus 5,.

i Got the Simple understated black watch, there is a white one if you like that you can get it..

the first thing you should know about the Pebble smart watch that it is not touch screen so it'll not respond no matter how hard you press the screen, it has buttons on it's sides, i know with the Galaxy Gear and SONY smart watch and the Qualcomm Smart watch everybody kind of expected every smart watch to be touch screen but Pebble thinks differently..

And In this case it worked and worked quiet well there is 1 back button on the left of the Watch and a 3 on the right side ,two of them are to navigate and the middle one is to select ,so it's really simple and you can get the hang of it in one day..

Charging
There is one more thing on the left of the watch that is the magnetic charging, yes i know another surprise not a micro USB 2.0 port but this had to be done to make the watch waterproof, because things can get into the 2.0 port .


Magnetic Charger













The battery backup of the Pebble is really really really great i got mine full charged just when i got it  and is still going and it should last for about 3 more day on that charge so that will be 7 days or 1 week in one charge that is one of the reason i prefer pebble over other options..

There is a play store on both iOS and Android to change the face of the watch and other things but that's all i do,i prefer the classic Analog watch face over any other, and make it look as close as the regular watches i wear.

you can read the messages and other notification, answer calls, control music, set alarm or reminder. it takes some time to show the entire text when you get a message i'll show who it's from but will take few seconds to load the whole text..








You can play the the old Snakes game on it.. And no it doesn't have a camera on it like the Galaxy Gear but i Don't think you need a camera on your watch..

This is the my First Impressions of the Pebble Smart Watch there is a full review coming soon i can't tell you any specific day or date but it's on it's way..

           Write your thoughts about Smart watches in the comments section down below..
                                                                    Peace...

Cyborg.Rat 7 Review....!!!(Not a Mouse, It's a Rat..)

Rat 7

This is not an ordinary mouse, not a magic mouse, not a magic trackpad but it's the Cyborg Rat 7..
And as you guys can see this mouse or Rat i should say, is an absolute beast just having this thing on your desk can draw a lot of questions like "what is that beautiful, monster, batmobile looking thing connected to your computer?" ..  But there is a reason behind those looks, because this is THE most customizable mouse i have ever seen .. If you could show me any more adjustable mouse than the Rat7 then ..Please Show me..

Design or Hardware

This mouse with work with people having massive hands like me or people with little paws, pretty much any size or shape hand will work . and it's also adjustable to the point where you can take the back off ..
Removable back and pinky rest


There is a screw at the back of the mouse  and if you unscrew the screw it will give you access five small weights at the bottom of the mouse so you can leave them all in and have a heavy mouse or get all out and you will get a really really light mouse or use 1 or 2 or 3 if you want it's totally up to you..

the screw is a Hexa screw driver so that means you can use it to adjust or even completely remove the pinky rest that's on the right hand side of the mouse naturally you get 2 or 3 choices of pinky rest when you buy it..you can look for the link at the bottom if you want to buy it.. 
Hexa screw drivers and weights

You can also you the Hexa thing to adjust the thumb rest you cannot completely remove the thumb rest but you certainly can tilt it what looks like about 15 degrees or so.. just to get into your own comfort zone 

Number of Buttons 

 We can start with the red button on the left hand side,which is basically a sniper button when you hold it down it lowers the DPI ans slows the cursor way down for those headshots or video editing or anything else precise you also have the forward and backward buttons for web browsing along with the side scrolling wheel which is always fun..

the self destruct RED button and Side scroll wheel

at the top you have a profile switcher which basically goes between 3 profiles red, blue and pink and they are all customizable in the software ..

In the middle you have a DPI rocker which will move the sensitivity of the mouse up or down and indicate that with lights on the side  of the mouse ..

And finally you have the right and the left click and the scroll wheel ..

that makes this a 9 button mouse ..
The only down side is that it turn into a Ferrari so you have to pay for the Gas ..just kidding it doesn't . or does it??I highly recommend this unless you are a lefty ..

            that is it leave your thoughts about the Rat 7 in the comments section down below..
                                                                  Peace...

i'll be posting more updates about the price of these devices if there will be any new changes....
                                                                 Peace...

Top 5 tech For 2014..!!

There were a lot of new things we saw at CES 2014, but these are the five which caught my attention the most..
  1. 4K TVs and Cameras .. you probably have been hearing a lot about lately,even though it's a big buzz word, 4K is basically a resolution being slapped on TVs and Cameras .. almost everybody now have 1080p TV at home, 4K is 4 times more pixels ..this allows 4 times much detail to be captured by a camera and 4 times the detail you can seen your TV.. Getting a 4K TV around this time last year was really really expensive but now you can get one for around $700 on Amazon..
                         
    i already have a Get To Know - 4K so the link to it is down at the bottom..

    Now on recording 4K is really really expensive .. Panasonic at CES 2014 showed off there GH4 which is capable of shooting 4K video in nice and small package SONY also showed a 4K handy cam..
    and you might already have a 4K camera if you have Galaxy Note 3..
    and i also did a 4K cameras list at CES so link to that is also at the bottom.
     
  2.  Electric Cars this is not strictly new tech because the first electric cars was actually made in the 80's as in the 1880's . Cars have definitely evolved in the last 100 years and at one point electric cars were much more popular than the gasoline cars you now know, well that probably won't change tomorrow but electric cars are definitely making a come back loaded with lots of cool technology.. take the BMW i3 for example.. it is made mostly of carbon fiber but inside you will find a 170Hp of motor good for 100miles on a charge  ..
    Tesla Model S
    Tesla Model S looks a lot like any regular car from the out side but powering it is a few thousand of these guys..
    Powering the Tesla model S

    BMW i3                    
  3. Gaming Tech after Xbox One and PS4 launch last year and seeing how much they have improved and PC gaming all time high the future is looking very bright..on the console side SONY just showed the Play Station Now a way to stream PS3 games on a VITA and PS4 or even a TV or Phone since it rely on your internet connection there is no limit where SONY could bring this ..
    Taking a slightly different approach is Razor this beast of a gaming PC this takes all the normal parts of the computer and makes them modular so swap in and out new hardware is as simple as plugging it in. 
    Razor
    Steam Machines they are basically tiny little PCs made specifically for gaming as an alternative to consoles, hey come with a crzy looking new controller ..
    Doesn't matter what kind of gamer you are PC or console 2014 looks awesome for you..
  4. Wearable Tech in the last few years we have seen huge explosion in the cell phone market but according to the big player in the market wearable tech is the next big thing in they tech market, there are the smart watches as we know already , the Galaxy Gear, SONY smart watch and Pebble smart watches which to my knowledge has a variety of material like Pebble steel watch and the one with strap Pebble has the longest battery back up of about 3-4 days on one charge f you are a frequent user like me but if not you can get 1 week in a charge ..
    Galaxy Gear
    But the Apple iWatch hasn't come out yet so that is probably coming with a big splash.
    Google is the first outlet to glass a very expensive pair of glasses with extremely cool feature from Google maps to taking pictures and recording videos and ability to run apps
    Pebble smart watches
    i have done a review of the Galaxy Gear the link i down at the bottom
  5.  Oculus Rift Crystal Cove This is a slightly different type of wearable and it is made especially for gamers and to take virtual reality to a next level ..it is a virtual reality headset that bring you inside the game or technically makes you feel that you are inside of the game ..The latest prototype that they showed at CES this year combined a HD 1080p screen and motion tracking .. put the headset ON and it lets you look around the game world which works incredibly well ..
    Oculus Rift
    and my thoughts about the Oculus Rift i have a link to them down below..
There are more awesome technology coming this year in every department like the i Phone6 most probably with a bigger screen and The Galaxy S5 , HTC Two probably .. are the most awaited phones on this year.. and not to forget next version of the Moto X..

This is it tell me what you are waiting or expecting to come this year in the comments section down below..

Gmail, Hangouts, +Google and Blogger were not accessible on 24th January 2014..!!

World wide internet traffic plunged about 40% as Google services suffered an unprecedented blackout,
24 January or you can say last night, Google's servers were down, people were not able to open there Gmail account and Google Plus was really really slow.. and after sometime for waiting it to load i didn't load..

Tech company said all of it's services were down for 1-8 mins but they are unable to give any reason. 
this 8min blackout costed Google around $544698 that is huge money.. but not for a company like Google ..
They are still in the process of finding the cause..


nobody ever expected for Google to crash like this this is really not a good sign for Google.. they should find the cause as soon as possible and make sure this never happens again..

I was unable to access my Blogger account.. every time i typed "blogger.com" it would show error 502 and 503 ..
No  body knows what the problem was ... but it was fixed after a few minutes..

Google.ChromeCast... Review (Part-2 )..!!

Chrome Cast

How Chrome Cast works?

I have seen people talking about the Chrome Cast using a bit of what i would say bad phrasing or bad word choice .. that makes it seem like  you are beaming the content directly from the device to the TV but that is not what is going ton here..
What is happening is you are actually transferring the actions from the device to your TV so the Chrome cast has a internet connection of it's own . So when you are playing YouTube videos on your phone  and tap the Chrome Cast button it looks for the same video it self and starts buffering the video via it's own internet connection independent of what you are doing on your device..
Same deal with Google Play music when it starts streaming it's on it's own independent of your phone..

Think of this as the Nexus Q Reloaded..
Same this happen with Netflix and Google Play movies  you phone tells Chrome Cast which movie it is play and the Chrome Cast it self searches for it and then play it by it self...

Media Quality of Chrome Cast

I found out that the quality of the media was also great, i have a 1080p TV so i know what media typically looks like on it .. so the first few seconds of a the playback of the video sometimes the video is little bit soft but after few seconds of streaming it sharpens right up to full HD quality which is nice..

For Stuff not Natively Supported


There is always Chrome Extension that allows for individual tab streaming to Chrome cast .. to you download the extension for Chrome pair it up with you TV ans start casting ans then you are actually sending content over your internet connection to your TV ..
There is a slight delay when scrolling round a web page and sometimes i couldn't see my coursor on the TV while casting only on my laptop screen.. But then again the quality here is very good .. it starts at low quality when the casting is initiating but after a few seconds it sharpens right up..!
you can read whole articles of text watch full screen videos and browse the web like you would on your laptop .. So if you want to show someone a website or an article  or some video or something that's not in you tube or Google Play .. you can just go Ahead and stream your Tab cast your tab over to your TV and start showing people you internet that way ..

That's pretty cool that you are not restricted to just supported apps ....

That is it.. Part 2 ends here and so is the review..
                     

and my full review could have been in just 1 line .. Saying
"Hey, it makes you TV smart and it is only $35, BUY IT..!!" it is pretty simple probably an instant buy for a lot of people who have a TV but don't have a Smart TV and this is everything that nexus Q wanted to be but never really got to be.. because the price was just totally wrong..
This is  US only product ..

Thanks for reading this review about the Chrome Cast.. leave your thoughts in the Comments section down below..
                                                           Peace...

30 Years of Macintosh..!!

Apple launched the first Macintosh 30 years ago Today, and Cupertino is in party mode. Apple's website has been updated to point to a celebration of the original computer and it's descendants. the page is essentially a timeline that acts as a look at the various Mac models and also focuses on the "generation of innovators who continue to change the world" using their Macs with short stories about a number of creatives...

Macintosh Team

There's also "your first Mac" page, where where readers share the first mac they bought and explain what they used it for. They are then thanked for being a user for however many years it's been since their purchase. These shares from an impromptu survey of visitors.. and at the bottom of the "your first Mac" page there are pictures or you may say graphics showing the most popular Macs ./. and below that is a animations showing what people have used there Macs for over the years.... and i am not surprised most of the people use Macs for Internet and E-mail..


The Apple Macintosh, later referred to as the Macintosh 128K, was released on January 24th, 1984 for $2,495. the first Mac included a 9-inch 512x384 monochrome display, a Motorola 8000 processor alongside 128KB of memory, and a handle to make it easier to carry. It was also one of the earliest computers to adopt the 3.5-inch  floppy disk format... which came to dominate the removable storage media market by the end of the 80's. If you are like me then you would like to take a closer look at the hardware , iFixit has published a commemorative tear down of the Macintosh 128K.. i have the link to it down at the bottom..

The Macintosh is credited with popularizing graphical user interface, many elements of it's software remain commonplace today, like ubiquitous desktop metaphor and the Finder file manager still used in modern Macs that we use everyday. Apple introduced the Macintosh to the world with it's own legendary "1984 Super Bowl Commercial"..

We all love are Macs and Apple is according to some people is lacking in the Cell phone market but and i don't disagree with them but the Company has it's own ideas and we must not forget that next iPhone is on it's way .. and which will probably going top blow everyone's mind..

                                                      Peace...
