Believe in the Magic of the 'Halo'-day Season
Friday, December 29 2006 @ 9:56 AM ET | Article Link
by Joe Leo
As the holiday season winds down, with Christmas four days old, and the New Year just about 48 hours away, remember how it was when you were younger? It was all about the magic of the holiday season. No matter what people said, you believed in the jolly old man in the big red suit. Just because you couldn't see him, it didn't mean he wasn't real. The debate continues once again in a different form, and an argument which has gone on for the past year-and-a-half or so has come center stage in regard to everyone's favorite red-colored fruit (Apple), just as the holidays wind down for 2006, and the "halo"-days get into full gear for 2007. The week after Black Friday, reports surfaced on two fronts in regard to Apple Computer. First, that Mac and iPod sales were at an all-time record high, and second, that those sales were a direct result of the iPod mystique-- the so-called "iPod halo effect." Read More...
Apple's All the Rage in the Business World This Week
Thursday, December 28 2006 @ 10:15 AM ET | Article Link
by Joe Leo
This week has been primarily good for Apple, depending on which way you look at the news, and from the business standpoint, all eyes are focused on Cupertino from all ends of the spectrum. (Possibly a great lead up to the best Macworld yet? And then there's Macworld 2007 itself!). "Black Friday" will have a whole new meaning of its own for Apple Computer come business week's end if any news sheds light on whether or not CEO Steve Jobs had anything to do with the "irregularities" to be published in a long since delayed report in regard to the company's stocks.

Will “Robson” Hybrid NAND/Flash Technology Be The “Next Big Thing” For Apple ‘Books?
Wednesday, December 27 2006 @ 8:31 AM ET | Article Link
by Charles W. Moore
It’s always an interesting exercise trying to figure out what Apple might do to make the next generation of Mac notebooks better. More speed is always part of the quest, and probably highest on my wish list of priorities would be finding a way to make the critters run cooler. Intel’s “Robson” Hybrid NAND/flash hard drive technology, rumored as being on the slate for Apple’s next generation of MacBook Pros, would positively address both of those issues. “Robson,” which Intel first previewed in October, 2005, is the development code name for an integrated module that incorporates NAND flash memory as a ‘smart storage’ buffer between system RAM and the hard drive. The Robson memory storage subsystem plugs the performance gap between processor and HDD by acting as new layer of cache in the system memory/storage hierarchy. One might analogize it as a level 2 cache on steroids, and the performance boost Robson promises to offer could be as dramatic as the one when Motorola and IBM added a big L2 cache to what was basically a Power PC 603 chip back in 1997 and created the G3.

Looking for a last minute gift for a Mac or iPod fan? You can't lose with an Apple Store or Amazon.com gift card. Purchase one online, then print out the redemption certificate or send it as an e-gift:
1) Apple Store or iTunes Gift Certificates. iTunes Gift Cards are available via email in whole dollar amounts of $10 to $500. Choose a Gift Card by mail in $15, $25, and $50 denominations. Apple Store Gift Cards can be purchased in any amount ranging from $25 to $2500. According to Apple, "Each card will arrive tucked into an attractive folder that can include an optional personal message. As you complete your order, you'll be prompted to tell us exactly what you want your message to say. Your Apple Gift Card(s) always ships free to you or anyone you choose."
2) Amazon.com.

Cards can be purchased in values ranging from $5.00 to $5,000.
