It was 1984 and Big Brother was everywhere BUT one guy and his team thought differently. Luckily for us because it is thanks to his thinking that I am typing this on a Macintosh. I am talking about Steve Jobs and his team that created the Macintosh 128k, the first affordable computer with a Graphical User Interface today exactly 20 years ago. They made an ad about it to mark that legendary moment. What’s great about this ad is that it is still the reference in the advertising world and this 20 years later.

Today at MacWorld Steve Jobs revealed a little mini iPod. iPod mini lets you bring along enough music for a three-day weekend getaway in a package so small you’ll forget you’re carrying it. It is the world’s smallest 1000 song player. The iPod mini is available in five colors.

Personally I have a bid of mixed reaction on this tiny player, most of that has to do with the price. Still a few months away from being available in Europe I wonder how much difference their will be in price when being compared to the US. If it would cost 240 Euro I would give it some thought. How about you?

In our company we have still a Special Edition iMac DV (graphite) who serves webpages. But Apple now presents its new 20-inch iMac, the largest display in an all-in-one computer. If you’re planning to buy the 1.8 GHz machine, you’ll now get a dual instead! If Apple only would release some new screens then everybody would be happy, cause I’m waiting… my money is itching Apple :-P
