I have been using OS 10.6 & 10.5.5 recently and I am LOVING IT. I have, and always will, hate Apple’s restrictiveness, but I won’t say I will never use their products. OS X, along with the iPod Touch/iPhone, are the BEST pieces of Apple hard/software available. OS X really is a solid operating system. It completes the most basic and advanced tasks out there. The only thing wrong with it is the lack of apps, but that is in no way Apple’s fault. It is not like a Linux distro, where I have to baby it through almost everything, but it is up to Window’s standards, meaning it is as useable as the standard Windows users expect. I am not switching 100% to OS X, but it is going to be 49/51 between the two. Who is the 49 and who is the 51? I don’t know, but OS X will not go untouched by me :)

Okay, so it hasn’t been THAT long, but before NY v NE, no Superbowl was that great since TB v OAK.

The iPad is basically a touch-only netbook that looks like an enlarged iPhone. Now, if it were up to me, I would try to make it look/feel like a Macbook, but they drifted towards the iPhone look, which should stay small.

The iPad features 6 different versions: A WiFi flavor with 3 different flash drive volume sizes (16GB, 32GB, & 64GB) and a 3G version with the same different flash drive volume sizes. It also features a new Apple chip dubbed ‘A4’ and no, it is not a piece of paper in Europe. The A4 is a new, energy efficient, processor just for the iPad, clocking in at 1GHz. It works with all of your apps that you have downloaded from the App Store, but there is a catch – Its rendered ratio is exactly like that of the iPhone/iPod Touch and you MUST scale that rendered image up to fit the iPad’s LCD screen. Now, this scaling of the image may or may not scale it on a raster level or vector level, that I cannot confirm.

UPDATE #1: It scales pixels up to 2x, so 200% larger pixels. It WILL be blurry and not sharp like iPad dependent apps.

 

With that being said, I have only ONE question:

When is this going to be jailbroken? st33lsn0w anyone?
