10 ani de iPod

Duminică, Octombrie 23, 2011

Acum fix 10 ani, Steve Jobs se urca pe scenă și prezenta lumii o mică cutiuță albă. I-a spus iPod și avea să schimbe atât felul în care ascultăm muzica, cât și industria muzicală în sine. Cine ar fi crezut că se poate așa ceva? La fel, cine ar fi crezut că același om va schimba alt dinozaur, operatorul de telefonie mobilă. Și cică ar urma dinozaurul cu numărul trei, operatorul de cablu TV…

La mulți ani, iPod!

Situl Apple e pe jos

Marți, Octombrie 04, 2011

De câteva minute situl Apple este inaccesibil, după anunțul iPhone 4S. E o chestie rară, așa că am făcut o poză.

În rest, mulți useri pe macuser! (nu s-a depășit însă recordul din 16 decembrie 2010)
