Happy 25th Birthday Apple!!

 

  Today marks the 25th anniversary of the company many of us aspire to be a part of or own.  It has been an interesting 25 years if you go and review the history of the company.  From the humble beginnings of the original Apple Computer to the inspiration that iMacs, MacBook’s and iPods are today, we wish Apple happy 25th and many more.

 

Some Great Resources for Mac History:

 

Mac Tracker – A program that catalogs all Macs throughout the years.

 

Lowendmac – This is a great place to view all things from the past to the present on Mac

 

Mac History – Another great site with pictures and history of the Macs of old to the present.

 

There are also plenty of videos on youtube which show keynotes and product announcements and anything else you could think of.

Gift Guide For The Holiday 2008 #2 – Griffin PowerDock

 

  After this past year and the previous years of collecting iPods and/or an iPhone, you are now faced with a predicament only someone in a wealthy, free nation faces.  This problem is the trouble of keeping all of those gadgets charged without having to create a mess of wires or having to connect every iPod up to the USB port of you PC or Mac.  

 

This year saw the release of the Griffin PowerDock.  This handy little dock charges all of your iPods and/or iPhone(s) at once, assuming you only have a total of four.  The PowerDock has four separate slots which you can insert your dock connector and charge your prized MP3 player or phone.  The PowerDock is available at many retail outlets and usually costs $49.99 depending on where you purchase it.  This is a great solution to keep wires out of the way, your devices charged, and extend the Apple-like styling to your home.
