Please note the “uBROKE,” which pretty much sums up my iLife Apple Fan Boy ridiculousness:

• iPad 32GB

• MacBook Pro 17″
• MacBook 13″
• iMac (original Blueberry)
• PowerBook G4 15″

• iPhone 2G
• iPhone 3G
• iPod Touch
• iPod (original)
• Shuffle (original)

Not to mention 600-700+ apps (and growing)…

So there I was sitting at my desk when I receive a call to come pick up quite a large package in the mail room. Back at my desk, I open it up only to find the box of a brand new 17″ MacBook Pro staring right back at me. Unpleasantly confused, my mind went a little bananas trying to figure out why this beautiful machine was in my possession.

Replacing my short-lived moment of excitement was the fact I already owned a shiny 17″ MacBook Pro purchased just a few months ago.

But not to worry—the shipping receipt had the correct name. Fortunately, The Google easily figured out that the package belonged to a local business owner here in Syracuse. His assistant was here within minutes after calling his office to disclose the news—along with a very appreciative note and Dunkin’ Donuts gift card.

No, really?

Yeah, a lot of us are totally satisfied:

Among the most fascinating statistics that Harry collected were that the vast majority of respondents considered themselves either very or totally satisfied with the iPhone, with most rating the iPhone a good or excellent value.

Shape of Things to Come [WSJ.com]

The iPod shape trademark gives Apple a new weapon in the fiercely competitive market for media players. While competitors may eventually appropriate the iPod’s inner workings, as utility patents expire, they will risk litigation if their products come too close to the trademarked shape of the iPod, including its popular circular-touchpad interface.

PC Magazine gave Apple’s 10.5.2 Leopard operating system an Editor’s Choice award and a stunning review. I have to say, I’ve been using a Mac since I was a kid and things just keep getting better and better. Hands down, I think that Leopard is the best so far and my roommate agrees—he became a convert over the weekend and bought a new MacBook. All I’ve been hearing is “oh my God” and “wow, that is so cool” coming from him since he turned it on. And the new screen sharing with iChat….let me just say that I no longer have to run to the other end of the apartment to show him how to do something. Never realized how useful that could be. As PC Mag writes:

Despite minor problems, it’s by far the best operating system ever written for the vast majority of consumers, with dozens of new features that have real practical value—like truly automated backups, document and spreadsheet preview images in folders, and notes and to-do lists integrated into the mail program.
