Jonathan Ive talking about design
From the excellent documentary film, Objectified.
Green Apple
Interesting to see Apple touting their “green” creds. Just a shame they cannot focus a little more on their quality control (he said speaking from experience!).
Pushing my recent bad Apple experiences aside, is green a real driver for a buyer? I’m not so sure it is going to be challenging features like OSX, the new construction and design. It maybe a factor for items like cleaning products, (Method being a good example), but for laptops? What do you think?
A Packed Week
Good evening all 
It’s been a good week. Interesting, engaging, fun, exciting and varied. Exactly the opposite to the kind of week I used to have a while ago… Speaking of which I had an email from an old work colleague saying hello. Errr…. 15 months late me thinks.
Week Highlights
- Apple’s new notebooks. Looking very impressive, but sadly sold out in all stores I have rung (Manchester, Sheffield and Regent Street). Will be hunting one down next week…
- Working with a superb team of people based in the UK, Stockholm and San Francisco. Finally, I have found people who understand the wonders of online marketing, and are also great fun and some are even Mac fanboys!
- Doing some tech support for a Premiership Football player (Mac user surprisingly!), along with Monsieur Cleary.
- Some crisp Autumn weather – cold is fine. Wet and cold is not.
- Some excellent leads for clients in November.
- More work with a top flight client.
- Great feedback on email campaign from a client
The feedback has been fantastic we have had quite a few emails
saying how much they love the newsletter and the format!
Week Lowlights
- Not buying the MBP when I had a chance in the Sheffield Apple Store – doh.
- Not a lot else, so that is pretty good!
Misc
- Looking forward to reading Noded – a superb new book from Andreas and Jaan, who I met at FOWA last week in London. (I’ll be reviewing the book properly once I’ve read it).
- WordPress buying PollDaddy is a good move
And that my friends, is about it! Hope you have a great weekend
Amazing design
Just check the design out on the battery, battery compartment and drive – just amazing.
New MacBook
Here’s the new MacBook – super, super sweet – if this was 10″ / 11″ / 12″, I would buy this immediately. Maybe next year!
New MacBook
I am so wishing they had released a 13″ MacBookPro or better yet, a 10-12″ Netbook!
