Apple Makes some Updates!

Okay Today I was just kinda in huge anticipation at work today. Knowing a MacWorld Keynote was happening trying to access RSS feeds of ThinkSecret and Slashdot Were just not working to my advantage. So I get home flip open my laptop and head over to Apple.com/Quicktime to watch the keynote and I was getting some errors with the audio. So probably due to latency. But anyways I saw on Thinksecret that they had an update to Garageband which is how I record and edit my podcasts.

They took everything I wanted in that application and just made it so podcast friendly. With built in iChat interviews will make my cohosts on the Mac so much easier then what I had planned to do for Skype. It does the Enhanced Podcasts which are awesome which is making me debate if I should switch to just the AAC format with chapters or stay with plain and simple MP3's. Because most people seem to just download the files as I post them and don't acutally subscribe to the Podcast Feed. But I will be offering a tutorial on that in the near near future.

But this new Garageband3 in the iLife suite is everything I have ever wanted in an audio application.

Garageband 3 Part of iLife 06

With the education Discount it is $59 so you save $20 off retail. Sucks the Apple Stores don't give you the education Discount on Software.

Apple also announced the new laptop and iMac's The laptop is called the MacBook Pro running on the Dual Core Intel at 1.67Ghz Dual Core ($1,799) or 1.83Ghz Dual Core ($2,299) with the Student Discount. Now this Mac Techie from Seattle is just salavating at that 1.83Ghz Dual Core Powerbook. Built in iSight Camera. (Hard to Imagine me video chatting.) I can just feel my credit card burning a hole in my pocket right now. (Lets see cell phone contract ends in March that is $70 a month I will be saving. I have been enjoying VOIP far more over cell phone. The Apple Student Loan is $54 a month.) Birthday is in May! Maybe I will get lucky.

It's somewhat rare I get this excited about anything. But something about those Steve Jobs keynotes just pump me up. That guy just is a great speaker and I want all his products.

But anyways a must is iLife 06. So if you would like to contribute anything. You will see a nice button at the top for that. But that was planning to be explained in greater detail later but this is just to cool. But anyways details on the "Make a Donation" will be explained soon enough.

You ever get a new laptop or something electronic and open it up and it has that smell. That just gets me all excited it's like Porn. It's so great in so many ways and can satisfy you a little. But just doesn't get you all the way there. But something about that smell and the feel of that new power is just amazing.

P.S. Due to a schedule conflict that came up. The Elite Stranger Podcast Interview recording will be delayed a week. So the next Podcast will be me and my new CoHost taking up the Topic Again of Women. Two 20 something guys trying to wrap our mind around something that is probably impossible. What will we uncover? Who knows. Back to drooling over Apple Porn.
