2013-02-14
so please don't sell so what's going on here man I'm just fixing this from a second no no I'm waiting for a girl to call me right now when you're messing things up and I'm the idea and I need to do this then do it fix it fix it you know what I'm done jerk whatever says so what's good Brian song here and welcome to the apple pie for all the good of bad inside the world's baffle and you guys can't escape the hottest rumor about the Cupertino kitties latest project yep Apple is working on a SmartWatch now the story broke in the New York Times that the big a is experimenting with smartwatches made out of curved glass they say the watch would use Apple's iOS platform and Corning the makers behind Gorilla Glass have developed a bendable glass called willow glass and the device would stand apart from others because of their understanding of how glass can curve around the human body now Bloomberg added in their own report that a team of about 100 product designers in software and hardware are working on a wristwatch computer which shows it's really past the experimentation phase and in the development phase now we already know about the Kickstarter project pebble that started shipping last month and at the time we call it the best SmartWatch ever Tim Cook has commented on wearable technology calling it an interesting area but the book hasn't been written on it yet now my take on the Apple watch I'm not a fan until I see it and I'm not going to be that guy connecting headphones to my wrist to listen to music now no one's figured it out yet but in past patent filings Apple has been working on an entire platform for wearable and attachable computing several years ago they recently refined that filing this week and we're given the rights to continue working on the patent it includes movement monitoring devices that's like an adhesive strip with a processor detector communications port and a battery that can track movement and tag events with time and date information and also it includes event monitoring devices that could be used to monitor and report humidity chemicals heart rate pulse weight and environmental factors now the two devices could work together in concert and could also be applied to things like body armor or even weight monitoring so these things may not be directly related to a SmartWatch but it's clear that wearable technology is an active area Apple has been working on and you guys do you even know what they might called watch I have no idea now in some real official news Apple has updated the retina MacBook Pros with new processors with the 15-inch model featuring a new 2.4 gigahertz quad-core processor and the high-end model now between a 2.7 gigahertz processor with 16 gigs of RAM the entry-level 13-inch retina macbook pros are now two hundred dollars cheaper starting at 1499 with 128 gigs of flash and the 1699 model gets a 2.6 gigahertz processor and 256 gigs of storage also guys the 13-inch macbook air with 256 gigs up flash I know there's a lot of flash there also dropped one hundred dollars with a starting price of 1399 and the high-end non-retina 15-inch model has been eliminated so bottom line guys it's more bang for your buck across the board now March is coming up and Apple is typically had a major product announcement so if nothing is happening you got to leave it up to someone to create a new story now Jefferies & Company analyst Peter me sec expects that Apple will hold an ITV related event next month where Apple could introduce a new SDK for Apple's new TV platform but not the TV itself the loops Jim dar imp will shot it down real fast with a quick nope and really an event just for that no way alright guys there's always more Apple TV news and Reuters reports that shares of German luxury TV maker low surged after more rumors that Apple is looking to put a bid in for the company now loes designs are very Apple s and the German manufacturer is partially owned by sharp let's see the hard drive company the company's management team and the rest is freely traded now a low spokesperson told Reuters that they were unaware of any offer and a rumor back in May of last year was the first between the two companies but was shot down back then as well alright guys so the quick bites the evasion jailbreak has now been loaded onto over 7 million iOS devices so far with a jailbreak update already available for iOS 6.1 point 1 I still haven't jailbroken mind because I get tired of keeping up with the updates but really it's some good stuff and also forget about Apple's high-priced lightning cables monoprice and Amazon are offering their own cables for 1177 and 1499 instead of paying 20 bucks before text so you guys should jump on that and we missed this one last week because the timing / show it happens but apple reseller France systems to Apple inform them that the new Mac Pro will be arriving in spring of 2013 if they are to be believed now this was after finding out sales of the current mac pro will be halted on march first due to new EU regulatory requirements and you guys before we go we'd like to say happy Valentine's Day to everybody and if you
