New 2011 iMac Takes First Step to Shutting People Out
I just got the new 2011 iMac made by Apple. It is a really nice machine. Upon further inspection, I discovered that Apple does not make it user friendly to upgrade your hard drive. Not only did they make it so you have to remove the whole glass and display, but these machines have an extra 3 contact points for temperature sensors that control the speed of the hard drive cooling fans. Now this is a great idea to keep the hard drives cool, but the problem is if you put a standard hard drive inside it the sensor isn't going to work and the fans will just run at full blast with a mind blowing drone. They only known way to remedy this is to either have apple upgrade it and pay them a boatload of money, or do it yourself and purchase a program that controls the fan speed so the sensor doesn't make them blast 24/7. I love Mac and enjoy their computers but when an owner can't upgrade his own hard drive thats a problem. I hope Apple doesn't start making computers almost impossible to upgrade cause the last thing left is RAM.

PS Vita
How many of you kids have heard of Sony's new fav toy the PS Vita, or as I call it. the PSP 4000. It really is a great piece of hardware. it has touch screens on the front and back, two joysticks, its basically a PS3 with a built in screen and minus blu-ray. Overall it is an interesting console and I would like to see how it takes off. This summer/christmas will be the true proving ground though to see if people think its worth the 300+ dollar price tag on this baby. Let me know what you think of the PS Vita.

The New OS on the Block
Hey guys sorry i haven't been on lately I've been distracted, playing with the new developer copy of OS X Mountain Lion version 10.8, and it is phenomenal. I am enjoying the extended integration of the iOS concept. For example, the notes application is a much better way to keep track of notes instead of either textedit or a notepad widget. Another useful application that the fruit compony has added into this os is the reminders app. its exactly like the one on any idevice, I have no use for it but I'm sure its a godsend for anyone who uses it on their iPhone or iPad. It is an altogether great idea for all these integrations. The greatest part of the new os is that it blurs the line between iOS and Mac OS, especially with iCloud. iCloud synchronize your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and now Mac OS. Just when you think Apple made the perfect operating system they redraw the line and take it a step further. I cannot wait for mid to late summer for the official release.
