- Oh, it's like an iPhone for your house
“Oh, it looks like an iPhone.” That was my wife’s opinion when she took a look at the brand new iMac. I thought the black bezel looked out of place on a Mac. I didn’t understand the thought behind the design. When my wife mentioned the iMac’s similarity to the iPhone, I thought she hit the nail on the head.
This new design — the aluminum and glass — is simply an extension of the iPhone. People who never considered a “Smartphone” have been willing to make a jump to the iPhone because the iPhone just seemed so darn easy to use. When people walk into an Apple Store and now see this large black and silver machine, they will make the connection to that super-easy to use iPhone and be more likely to try out the extra large iPhone-like computer.
Personally, I’m not too crazy about the design of the iMac. But then again, what other options do I have for mid-range Apple desktop? This iMac design is not for those who will buy an Apple product no matter what. This design is meant for those who are Mac-curious. I expect a halo effect from the iPhone to increase sales of Macs, and with this new glass and aluminum iMac, Apple will sell plenty of Macs to people who are drawn to the familiarity of this machine.

http://theappleblog.com/2007/08/07/oh-its-like-an-iphone-for-your-house/#comments - Apple makes major updates to both hardware and software
Today Apple announced and updated a whole slew of products in both their hardware and software lines.
Updates include a new iMac, new keyboard, updated iWork, updated iLife, and more. It was certainly an exciting day and arguably more exciting than the past few major WWDC or Macworld events.
Check out the full details after the jump.

Today Apple announced a brand new shiny keyboard. It’s sculpted out of beautiful aluminum is freakishly thing.
But with all the hype they managed to leave out some major differences in the wired vs. wireless versions.
The top keyboard in that image is the wired and the bottom is the wireless/bluetooth version.
Yes, those are to scale.
No, the new wireless version does not have a keypad…or any of the new “shortcut” keys.
The new wireless version is effectively just a cut out of a laptop keyboard.
While I think Apple has created a magnificent new product here, I think they’ve made a horrible move by only offering these options. It’d be one thing to offer a wired or wireless version of each (as I can see the smaller version coming in handy for travelers), but it’s a different thing to only offer a wired version to get a full keyboard.
I’m crossing my fingers here that in the coming months they’ll offer a new wireless version of the full keyboard. Until then I’ll just have to keep using my now horribly outdated and inferior “old” white keyboard…that I purchased 2 months ago.

If you’re a fan of the San Francisco Giants and iTunes, you should know that sfgiants.com — the official online store for the San Francisco Giants — is offering five free iTunes downloads to the first 1,000 customers to spend $75 or more on select back to school merchandise.
Qualifying items include book covers, note cubes, calendars, backpacks, t-shirts, hats and more. (Because every student needs a Barry Zito 2-pack Team Wristband.)
The offer expires on August 28 at 11:59 p.m. ET or while supplies of iTunes gift codes last. Of course, if the offer is limited to 1,000 customers, how could supplies of the gift codes not last unless they don’t actually have 1,000 codes?
