The next best thing...

What is it about waiting for the "next best thing?" Do you love someone because you love them or because you are waiting for someone with "more" to offer to come along? If that's the truth, then why string someone along in the process? If you're un-happy being alone, to me that seems to be a personal issue; am I right?

Don't fuck with peoples emotions, either be interested or don't be at all.

Nothing a good nights sleep can't cure right?

I got chills...

I have to admit that I had never seen this video before today. It gave me chills: his words, his tone and his seemingly determined spirit. Hearing this, I can't help but wonder where the President's motivation has gone. We all know that politicians utter the words that we want to hear in order to get into office. HOWEVER, let us not forget that we are the ones who voted them into office. Our words, cries, pleas and spirits should continue to inspire them to do what they were intended.

I think President Obama, his administration and all other politicians need to be reminded who actually runs this country. Sometimes I think that we have forgotten. If you do not allow your voice to be heard then it is lost. If you do not write to your local congressman, attend community meetings or get involved in any other way, you are lost. Waiting for someone to "get the job done" for us is no longer an option. Every voice needs to be heard!

The American people have got to wake up and let the 1% who have run this country into the ground know that their time has come and gone. Please watch this inspirational video below and affect in some way, Change that we can BELIEVE in.

Snow Leopard, iPhone MMS, Spotify & Apple

As you can probably tell from the title and photos, most of this post is Apple related. Sorry, I just love this stuff!!!

Snow Leopard

Just in case ya don't know, Snow Leopard is the new upgrade to the already awesome MAC OS: Leopard. There are over 300 added new features and I have yet to break the mold with 1% of that! The first thing you get is additional hard drive space, Snow Leopard gave me BACK 17GB of HD space! Let's see a Windows OS do that! The second thing you notice obviously is speed: programs run faster, Safari (Web Browser) is much faster. I have experienced a slower opening time for applications but after the initial opening, if I go back and close and re-open, it opens just fine! I could go on and on but I'll stop now.

Apple, Inc

I decided to call into Apple today about my programs not opening as fast after the install of Snow Leopard. The first thing you get is a LIVE OPERATOR who directs your call. I'll say it again, "LIVE OPERATOR." I almost didn't know what to do because I was so lost, I've called in for support for my iPhone before but never for my MAC. Very courteous lady directed me to the correct department and the friendly tech helped me figured out what was going on in under 5 minutes. Fancy talking to a technician who actually knows about tech stuff! I continue to be impressed.

iPhone MMS

I have a supernatural feeling that the MMS capability for the iPhone and our sister device the iPod Touch is literally imminent. I say this because I synced my iPhone today and iTunes advised me that it would check for the next update on 9/2. Usually when you sync your iPhone, it gives you about a 10-14 day window of when it will be searching for another update. The last time I experienced this, there was an update the next day. I know all of you iPhone haters are saying, "How the hell does a $500 phone not have MMS?" I have no argument, this should have been on the 1st Gen iPhone (which is now not compatible with MMS) release 3 years ago. It is a basic feature and Apple & AT&T are now experiencing the fallout from their bad planning: About 4 separate lawsuits have been filed against AT&T and Apple for false advertisements, even though AT&T has long ago announced that their "network" was just not ready when the new iPhone was released and that everyone would have MMS capability late summer. I personally don't mind the wait and think that the lawsuits are silly but hey, people spend money on a product, they want it to work. It's kinda like buying a refrigerator and the sales person telling you that the freezer won't work for a few months.

Spotify

Spotify is a new music platform, not similar to Limewire and Mozilla for the simple fact that it is 100% legal! It has been around in Europe for quite some time now and is quickly making it's move to the US. Apple approved the iPhone app for Spotify today if I am not mistaken which is weird considering that iTunes is the largest retailer in the US for music, I'd think they'd have a problem with a platform that offered free music.

At the release, Spotify will be by Invitation Only (similar to GMAIL when it launched) so you'll have to be invited or wait until it's openly available. Will I use Spotify? It will strongly depend on the quality of the files, unlike most people, I don't just want music because it's FREE, I want it because it sounds good. As of right now, I am not sure if the files will be MP3's or AAC or whatever, we'll have to be patient.

That's it for now, I'm going back to nursing my cold... more like KILLING IT!!!
