Macbook Air

Macbook Air


The new macbook is designed by apple supposedly the world’s thinnest notebook. It came out today October 20, 2010. It is said to be ultraportable and is the first laptop to implement Apple's precision aluminum enclosure. It only weighs 3lbs which isn’t a lot for a laptop. The MacBook Air has been revised three times since the original release. The first revision introduced higher performance, a larger hard drive, and a Mini Display Port The second revision, introduced with the MacBook Pro family, featured a lower price, higher performance, and longer battery life. It was revised once again today with the addition of a smaller 11inch one. There is a flip down hatch on the right side that reveals the USB port and a stereo earphone jack. Now on the left side, there is port for the changer. Above the screen, a webcam and microphone are located. There are a couple of issues though. Like the tight fit for the USB and headphones socket. There are two versions but they are basically the same. The second has a larger screen. It has two processors. The macbook air has taken the technology from the ipad, and advanced that. Multi touch is basically used on every apple device which includes the Air. Inside of the Mac air, there is a lot of space for the battery. The Air his this new cool addition that allows you to put the Mac asleep for an hour it enters its standby mode. When you leave your Mac like that, you then can leave it like that up to 1 month and at the touch of a button it will wake up in an instant. The battery lasts up to seven hours with the 13 inch model and five hours for the 11 inch model.  Since it has two Intel core processors, it is very fast. It also has the fastest integrated graphics on the market.

Google Music



Google’s rumors about the music service are finally coming out.  Google is planning to launch storage lockers that users can save their music and get it from any internet access area. The first step for Google is a download store that contains music, music videos, ect.. Also it would just like iTunes, Amazon, or any other music download store. Once the merchandise is purchased, is would be downloaded to two places. 1. Your internet accessible device, like Google TV with is coming soon and music library were song are stored.
 Google could collide with trouble when it comes with to the record labels.                                                        The fee would be around 25 dollars an hour which would split revenues 50:50. Music publisher would also take around a 11 percent share but, this early there is no clear way to tell who this is coming from.                                That percentage is actually a lot for Google only because Google’s songs are from file sharing sites would deffinately be in the way on sites that are legit.                                                                                    
There is still some way to go for Google to get all of the agreements to get signed. Google is totally going to want to start in the United States. A similar streaming company named Spotify hasn’t managed to set up in America yet, even though they got nearly 10 million users in Europe.
