Almost all the Apple tech media is “paralyzed” waiting for Apple news. Talking with colleagues, friends, and listening to media you can feel the same need for Apple stuff, information, something. The big fruit company is slower than what the people is expecting them to be, maybe is part of their own fault trying to do things in a different way being leaded by Tim Cook. Or maybe is that its inevitable to compare the update speed of other tech companies like Samsung or Google which seem to be faster and more dynamic.
The market is expecting a lot from Apple, and I think that if the company doesn’t deliver “this fall” this will have a significant impact on their own core, the stock´s. When the iPhone 5 was announced on September 2012 they created a beautiful product, but not an innovative one. If the new iPhone 5S / 6 has only better hardware but does the same, let me tell you, it will allow competitors to announce something revolutionary like the iPhone itself was. Some people think Apple lost the surprise element, I still think they got it but maybe the so commercial focus of their business is clouding their judgment and they are not releasing products at the rhythm the people would like to purchase.
I am discovering the Apple world, and although I am still waiting for the release of the latest MacBook Pro line to get my first Mac, I am preparing the software I am going to install to it. Today I purchased this software bundle offered by the guys of 9to5Mac. (more…)

On January 8th 2007 in the MacWorld conference held in San Francisco, Steve Jobs was very sure he was making history and he was so confident of it that he started the event with the following words: ” Good Morning, so thank you, thank you for coming, we are gonna make some history together today” he was about to reveal the iPhone to the whole world.
A couple of days ago 6 years passed since June 29th 2007, the date the first iPhone was released, and it would be fair to say it´s also the 6th birthday of the touch smartphone as we know it. Some months ago I watched again the first iPhone presentation by Steve Jobs, you can notice the strange reaction of the people, on some things they were astonished, on others they couldn’t really understand what was going on, the shock was too big.

Some weeks ago I had a couple of job interviews, and in one of them the manager commented me: “We need someone really crazy about technology”. I couldn’t stop smiling the rest of the interview, its just that when you hear all the things the job is about and you feel that 90% of them match with what you´ve been doing and you want to do in the future, it was very difficult to clear the smile on my face.
My passion for technology started when I was in primary school, so that was around 1990 or so, I was 10 years old and I was asking all the time DOS commands to a friend who already had a computer for years (I didn’t even have one yet). Then after an incredible amount of hours on BBS´s (Oh, I really got into many troubles with my dad and the phone bill) and afterwards on the Internet researching, learning, chatting with people on the other side of the world (yes it was incredible at that time!) it was inevitable, I was passionate about technology… (more…)
