2011-07-01
what's happened in Bryant song here and welcome to the Apple buy for all the good and bad inside the world of Apple let's get to the show and we start things off with product news from nine to five Mac that claim the new MacBook Airs will be coming in mid-july that's only a couple weeks from now and you would think we would get a specific date when it's this close but we're expecting Sandy Bridge finally making its way into the ultra Slim's and no major design change plus the laptops are expected to come preloaded with Mac OS 10 lion and you know they're coming soon when Best Buy has made all four current models not available for shipping you know that's always a good way to tick off the general public Apple Insider also reports that the white polycarbonate MacBook and resellers like Amazon Mac connection and Jnr are completely sold out one of Europe's largest distributors who sold out as well so we could see a revamp with the new MacBook but as usual none of this has been officially confirmed now customer complaints and dissatisfaction what we more accurately described as rage with the latest release of Final Cut Pro X prompted Apple to post a Final Cut Pro FAQ that stands for frequently asked questions FYI now in the article Apple says some of the missing features from Final Cut Pro will return with future software updates like support for more cameras multicam editing XML export and others now Final Cut Pro 7 projects are still unable to be fully compatible with fcpx and that update it's coming sometime later this summer but don't worry if you're still not happy Apple's Mac App Store appears to be giving refunds to Final Cut Pro X customers who are unhappy breaking their all sales are final policy now according to the next web users are reporting their refunds on Apple's support discussion threads the community is really hammering Apple and I'm sure we can expect more fireworks between the two which is perfect timing since you know July 4th is here we sometimes get a little carried away all right let's check out a couple emails with the Apple binder nation's thoughts on the potential new Apple television we talked about last week Steve's a no slav writes in with I think that's Apple TV would be great to purchase but for me it mostly depends on what it has to offer I would say that if Apple TV was more Apple compatible as in where you are able to not just watch music movies etc but to also transfer them from your iPad iPhone and iPod to see and watch the files on the TV then it would be worth purchasing alright thanks Steve but Tom proach Nikki disagrees and says the Apple TV would be the most overpriced TV with not too many features just like all their Apple products Tom I think you need a hug here here I'll hug you right now okay you alright okay see now you should feel a little better alright guys iPhone 5 rumors continue to spring eternal the latest news last week was that Apple was releasing not one but two iPhones one being the 4s and one being the five sure dude you might want to stop smoking that wacky tabacky then we had other analysts or guys who read all the same tech blogs that we - that countered a claim saying there will be no iPhone 5 until 2012 more claims say the current iPhone 3GS will then end up being free with a contract once the iPhone 5 comes to market so we'll see how that all plays out I'll write a few quick bytes the Apple App Store hit a milestone with over 100,000 iPad specific apps congratulations to you even though you're not a real person and if you're looking for a video conferencing with more than one person gonna get face time for now fring has added the capability with an update to their app for the iPad 2 so what's better than a 3-way 4-way videoconferencing and a happy Anniversary goes out to the iPhone June 29 March it's four year milestone and it was a day that changed my life forever when I started caring more about a metal vibrating object that also serves as a heater for those cold lonely nights now before I get too depressed let's wrap things up with our iPhone app now I've been learning a lot from these iPhone apps and this week's app is called girlfriend did you guys know a girl likes surprises I had no idea so all you have to do is type a message in the app it fades to black and then with the slightest movement of your phone a message with a reign of animated hearts to save the day now here if you don't believe me I'll show you what I'm talking about look out boys boom goes the dynamite aces on y'all no damn money whoa smell this salt mine Wow Brian seems like you've been in a good mood Lane yeah you've been on cloud nine lately what's with you but things are going my way remember those iPhone apps my phone yes they've helped me meet a girl I'm actually seeing someone right now you're seeing a girl a girl hey baby yeah what're you guys doing are you guys gambling again you know that's a great question but uh before I answer that I'll just check my phone for me check your phone oh I'm really really sorry yeah you are sorry aren't you yeah rub my back a little more you know what I'm also thirsty look my thermos in the control room could you go get it for me I think maybe yeah -
