WWDC Tickets are Sold Out!!

Again, it’s almost time for WWDC!!
Job’s opening keynote presentation will be on 6/9.

As you know, WWDC is conference for developers. If the conference is as such, I think admission fee should be free for developers ….
The fact is, the fee is sky high... :( Its regular price is between $1595-1995!! We, as a Mac Specialist, get several sales calls that asks about if we are interested in purchasing tickets every year, but, oh well.... it’s way too pricy!!

BUT!!! Surprisingly, WWDC tickets have been sold out this year. This is the first time ever that WWDC ticket is completely sold out…

On WWDC website, it’s all about iPhone. Looks like Apple and iPhone get tons of attention than ever, huh :))

New Start!

Dear Apple fun:

We are sorry that we haven't update so long time.

Please expect new post within a few days.

From YourMacStor Staff

[APPLE OS X] Updates Galore, and Panther Strikes Back!

Hiya folks! Just like to remind all of you users that Apple has not only recently released an update for Leopard (10.5.2), but apparently also released two security updates for the rest of us folks still using Tiger (10.4.11).

We here at YourMacStore, have come across a treasure trove of PANTHER (10.3) Discs that can be used to upgrade your older Cubes and systems to that and then on to Tiger! Check out our website to pick some of these up when they become available later this week!

Sincerely,

Mike Leader

[Product News] IS A BIGGER IPHONE A BETTER IPHONE?

Apple announced this week that has increased the size of the iPhone to a 16GB model. For all of those folks out there who have been dying for space, well there ya go, eh? Can't argue with just a bit more memory to cram some more music or applications into that tiny thing, right? I think I can.

It's not that they've added more memory, but it's that they waited 10+ days after Macworld to do so. So, no prior announcement, just 'BLAMMO' there it is. After spending years in the gaming industry that could never hit deadlines, and then coming to the computer industry which is just as famous (or infamous), I really dislike this kind of sales tactic. It thoroughly upsets your customers. A customer comes in on one day, buys an 8GB iPhone thinking it's top of the line...and then finds out the next day that his brand new phone was replaced with a better one for sale for just a little bit more money the next day. Granted, he can return it...but it's a little irritating to have to go through a return process, when to avoid things like that, all a company has to do is to properly announce release dates.

I was proud of the fact that when I announced a release date two months in advance for one of the games I worked on, they were hit 95% of the time. Those kinds of things give customers something to look forward to, to save for and plan around. Stealth releases like this iPhone upgrade really don't hit the mark, and always makes me wonder why companies don't think high enough of customers to do this to them now.

Don't get me wrong, it's a great thing to see this kind of upgrade, but a little thought into the marketing would have garnered more sales for this item...don't y'all think?

Just my 2 cents on marketing a product. Now remember folks, if you're in a primary state, get out and vote tonight! :)

[Op/Ed.] WHAT YOU TALKIN' 'BOUT WILLIS?

The way that people act on the internet these days in regards to things they like and dislike is pretty shameful. I'd like to believe that this place was once a great place to get objectivity and thoughtful commentary on new products. However after reading many different newsbytes, blogs and 'columns', I've found it extremely difficult to find an unbiased opinion on any real product out there. From Computers to kitty litter. Just weird.

Me, I like Apple's products. Are they the best ever? No. Nobody is perfect. Is this year like 2007, with one of the neatest products to come out in the past 10 years? Not really. The iPhone is a very cool phone, but it's not for everyone. There's a lot of negative talk about Apple's financial future, but that's how it always goes for a company that's done really well and can't continually top itself...you know, like every other company out there? Apple can't keep topping itself, but it's going to try until it hits...that's how it works.

(Wow...look at that...did i say anything mean or hateful in there? No, that's the job for people like these guys, who do this to just get hits, attention, and vent at the universe because their moms kicked them out of their basement apartments. See, that was mean. ;) )

I'm one of MANY people who "walk the line" with Apple and other electronics manufacturers. I work with Macs at the office, I own an iPod, but I own a PC laptop and a PC desktop at home. I think that a lot of the pundits really need to understand that not everyone HATES or LOVES what companies do...they'll buy what they want to buy based on what works for them. So if you're going to review a product or comment on a new release, think about how you look to other people online before you post it to your blog/news column.

Lastly, come on...get that iPod nano for your girlfriend for Valentines Day! It's PINK! (Look, I bought the old pink nano for my girlfriend on her birthday last year, and she's been giddy about it ever since...what are you waiting for?? Go do it!)
