A Mild Uproar of Fun

If you are even a semi Apple nerd like me, you have been awaiting Steve Jobs’ keynote speech in San Francisco at Macworld. This is where Jobs gives us all the latest Apple news.

I have been patiently waiting to see if a new notebook rumor was actually true or not. Well, thanks to the live coverage via MacRumors, I’m happy to report that Apple is soon releasing the MacBook Air, the thinnest Apple notebook on the market. Check out the snap shot from MacRumorsLive:

Along with this announcement, Jobs also mentioned that Apple is now in the movie rental business through iTunes, which gives all the impression of a “let’s take over the world Starbucks style.” Even though I don’t have a Netflix subscription, I’m actually sad the company is being delivered such strong competition. On top of the rental business, Apple is attempting to create a monster out of AppleTV, which is an idea that hasn’t won me over yet.

However, back to the good stuff. Along with the expected, yet thrilling, news about the MacBook Air, I’m also excited that the iPod Touch will add features that had only been available on the iPhone, including Mail, Stocks, Notes, Weather, and Maps. Nice.

While Apryl and I were enjoying another jewel from the Chilling Classics collection, we weren’t even aware that it was snowing outside. Actually, it didn’t last long, but it was pretty nonetheless.

More than that, the snow signaled that the cold weather is back, which has Apryl really bummed since her cold kept her away from enjoying the record-breaking warm temperatures we’ve been having lately. Well, those days are quickly fading into memory, as the latest weather report calls for lows of -6 degrees this weekend. Yep, you read that correctly.

At times like these, I turn to Apryl and ask, “Where do we live?”
