Apple: Why Don't We Make Netbooks? Because They
Suck
Venture Beat's
Anthony Ha says:
"Apple's chief operating officer Tim Cook, who is leading the
company in Steve Jobs absence, took some sharp jabs at netbooks
(computers that are smaller and cheaper than laptops) this afternoon.
His words might put a damper on rumors that Apple is developing a
netbook...."

Apple to Netbooks: Drop Dead
Macworld's
Jason Snell reports and comments on Apple COO Tim Cook's latest
observations on the netbook issue Wednesday, including in part:
"...when I look at what is being sold in the netbook space today, I
see cramped keyboards, terrible software, junky hardware, very small
screens, and just not a consumer experience & that we would put the
Mac brand on, quite frankly. And so it's not a space, as it exists
today, that we're interested in, nor do we believe that customers in
the long term would be interested in . . . So we have other
products to accomplish some of what people buy netbooks for. So in that
way we play in an indirect basis...."

Apple Disses Netbooks Again
The Apple Core's Jason D.
O'Grady says:
"When asked about netbooks on today s Q2 2009 earning conference
call Apple s chief operating officer Timothy D. Cook took a couple of
pointed shots at the ultra-small notebooks....
"Does Apple just have its head in the sand or is it intentionally
hiding the fact that it's secretly developing a netbook?"
$200 'Mac' Netbook from Dell?
The Apple Core's Jason D.
O'Grady says that pound for pound the best value for a machine running
Mac OS X right now is the Dell Vostro A90 netbook, currently on
sale for $199, and noting that for less than the price of an iPod touch
you can buy a computer that runs desktop-class Mac OS applications and
a Web-browser with Flash.

Windows Guru Spends Two Weeks with a Mac
Computerworld's Preston Gralla says he's been on the front
lines of the Mac-PC war for as long as he can remember, written dozens
of books and hundreds or thousands of articles, columns, and blogs
about PCs and Windows, and along the way earned "the unending enmity"
of plenty of Mac folks.
However, Gralla recently accepted a new assignment to give up his PC
and try living for two weeks on the Mac, which he characterizes as
"sleeping with the enemy."
At the end of the period, he found the learning curve was shorter
and less steep than expected, and he muses that there isn't a whole lot
of difference when using productivity applications on either platform,
but when it comes to the operating system itself, there's a substantial
difference, with the Mac OS simpler to use, easier to configure plus
having more bells, whistles, and "eye candy". Overall Mac OS X beats
Windows, and while you often pay extra for a Mac, he can understand why
people are willing to pay the "tax".

Mac Tablet Could Be the Ultimate Device for
Electronic Medical Records
softwareadvice.com's Houston Neal says:
"There have been a lot of rumors about an upcoming Apple 'iTablet;'
we think this new device would be a huge bestseller in healthcare.
Why?
"There is a seemingly endless amount of medical applications that
could be developed for a Mac Tablet. However, we think it would be the
ultimate interface for electronic medical records (EMRs). Ease-of-use
has been a primary barrier to EMR adoption, so Apple - known for
intuitive design and usability - would be welcomed by physicians.
"So here we ruminate on the possibility of a Mac Tablet and present
ideas on its use with EMRs.
"The primary barrier to EMR adoption has been ease-of-use. Too many
physicians are concerned about being able to efficiently use an EMR at
the point of care. Apple, meanwhile, continues to raise the bar on
usability and efficiency. If Apple releases a tablet with the usability
of the iPhone, we think it would go over tremendously well amongst
physicians.
"In fact, we already talk to many physicians that want an EMR for
the Apple OS, but very few such systems exist. We think there is a big
opportunity for any "first mover" EMR vendor that writes to the Mac OS
and this new Tablet device."

Mac vs. PC: What You Don't Get for $699
BusinessWeek's Arik Hesseldahl says that while a 17-in.

less security, less multimedia tools, and, some say, less
satisfaction
Yes, Hesseldahl agrees, $699 is a lot cheaper up front than the
$2,800 cost of entry to the MacBook Pro 17-in. club, but with a PC
laptop that $699 just gets you in the door, so to speak....

Mobile Computing
PR: Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. has introduced their new
500 GB 2.5" hard disk drive with a shock operation tolerance of
400G/2ms. The Spinpoint M7 500 GB 2.5" hard drive with 250 GB per
platter features a rugged base and cover design, offering better data
protection for road warriors and other mobile laptop users.
"Our customers have been requesting hard drives with higher density,

said C.H. Lee, vice president, Storage sales & marketing, Samsung

The Spinpoint M7 utilizes Samsung's proprietary SilentSeek and
NoiseGuard technologies to minimize the noise-level of the mechanical
drive operation. The halogen-free drive complies with the European
Union's Restriction of the Use of Certain Hazardous Substances in
Electrical and Electronic Equipment (RoHS) regulations.
The Spinpoint M7 500 GB hard drive is lightweight and durable,
featuring a 5400 rpm spindle speed, 8 MB cache, native command
queuing and a 3.0 Gbps SATA interface. The perpendicular magnetic

ToughDrive Sport 250 GB Ruggedized Hard Drive
PR: The toughest and sportiest drive there is - optimal
protection for your data.
In today's
world mobility has become a key factor. Business-user or consumer
. . . we all carry our data with us and we all require it to
be there when we need it. Imagine what can happen when you're on the
move, for example biking, commuting to the office, running to catch a
flight . . . and suddenly your external hard drive
accidentally falls from your notebook case or jacket pocket
. . . it breaks, and hundreds of hours of videos, music, your
work, gigabytes of spreadsheets, documents, photo's are all gone. Not
anymore! The ToughDrive Sport offers you, next to a unique sportive
design, a drive that can withstand bumps and drops so your drive is

Secure
hardware password protection
The ToughDrive Sport is equipped with a secure hardware 256-bit
password protection feature. Your password is encrypted and stored in a
chip - the data on the drive can only be accessed by entering the
correct password. The obligatory combination of the hardware chip and
password to unlock the drive and access the data means that even if the
internal hard drive is taken out of its original enclosure and
assembled into another enclosure, people will never be able to access
the data. Should you forget your password or should you lose your
ToughDrive, the only way for anyone to be able to continue using the
drive is by reformatting it, thereby erasing all data. There is no
possibility for password recovery. There is no safer way to protect
your data
Features
:
- Durable, shock resistant hard drive, ideal for mobile
computing
- Outdoor active sports design, including integrated USB cable with
unique climbing rope texture
- Internal anti-shock mechanism insulating the hard drive from
shock

Up to 18 Hours of Extra Battery Power for 17" 2009
Apple MacBook Pro
PR: QuickerTek announces an updated External Battery/Charger

external battery and charger recharges and powers the big MacBook Pro

internal battery is used. It's available from QuickerTek and dealers
for $499.95.
This product expands the
battery/charger technology first developed for the original MacBook and
MacBook Pro models. Up to 18 extra hours of battery power - beyond the
built in battery life - allows for long airline flights, extended time
outdoors, longer photo shoots on location and plenty of time with
friends at the coffee shop.
A total of 11.5 to 18 total hours of 17" unibody aluminum MacBook
Pro use are easily available when using the External Battery/Charger
from QuickerTek. Users easily see how long the external battery is

charger not only gives you all-day performance, but it also enables a
longer wireless experience, by providing all the extended power needed
when mobile. It looks good and it's easy to carry with you when you
