Wireless and PostPC World

-
The 12 inch MacBook is probably one of the biggest examples of why I love Apple as a company: risk pays off. We all know that the future is closer than ever, that idea of the flying cars, instant everything and magically technological reality is almost here. Home tech, virtual reality, augmented reality, self-driving cars, those are all now existent. Innovation is humanity's superpower and we have definitely used it exponentially since the Second World War ended and it does not seem to have any signs of stopping.

The 12 inch MacBook is everything we wish for the future: no wires. I have thoroughly enjoyed its battery life with no issues whatsoever in charging it to its full capacity and leaving the power plug home. Yes I had to buy dongles/adapters because the world around me is not wireless, but with a couple of dongles in my bag I have figured out that it is just as simple to carry around my iPad or Macbook. If it is more of a reading, studying, taking notes day, then absolutely there is no better way than to enjoy it on my iPad. If it is a more heavy working day, research, document making, podcast recording and editing, and so on, of course I will choose to take my MacBook. However, the difference in the use is what makes the decision and NOT the size and portability. That is where I am going.

People love to speculate if Apple is going to turn the iPad into a computer or turn the MacBook into an iPad. The whole idea behind iPad Pro was to find the identity of the product and provide a tablet product like none other out there, just because you are the best does not mean you should not innovate; the best person to put you out of business is YOU! On the other hand the MacBook is a more harsh, everyday productivity device that people know and is almost hardwired into an entire generation. My dad is constantly surprised at my ability of working on an iPad rather than on a computer. My mom is impressed about my use of continuity between all my devices and how much that makes me look like a pro, while I am just using the devices Apple has in the way that they intend them to.

So here's the punch line: Apple promised a post-PC world more than a decade ago, they talked about post-PC devices which have now reached a vast amount of the population. Not to forget the fact that the wireless future has not caught up with the post-PC world we do live in now. Unfortunately houses and MAINLY offices have so many wires, it is sad to walk around. I believe tomorrow the fact of the matter is that someone should push the envelope and Apple simply is one player in the game, other large companies and startups will and have created enough drive to hopefully get phones, tablets and computers that are as wireless as the future.

Merry Christmas For You and Me

Every Christmas is different... And me as a lover of christmas, am going to tell you about what I think christmas means. Grab a cup of coffee, play your favorite carroll and enjoy. I have had the privilege of having friends brave enough to have endure the horrible disease that cancer is at years end. They do not care for pitty, they do not care about your "everything is going to be ok". They could not care less for your careful-brittle hugs as if they were about to break just because they have a disease... On the other hand, they want your smiles and jokes, they want to dance and celebrate just like you that the year is about to end and they are alive, they want those tree-hugging, bear-sized happy hugs that lift you off the ground and make you lose your breath... They love the uncertainty of life, the present they are given and that they get to live with people that just want them to smile, have a great time, and forget that they are or were ever sick.  "The ...

Don't Underestimate Me

No one is born great at everything... I believe running is a great example for life... No on is born a great runner and no one becomes a perfect runner; the true beauty behind running is not finishing, it is starting... Because there are no shortcuts, no one gifts you endurance, we earn every kilometer or mile we run. The first place is cheered on just as much as the last... Because both accomplished their goal; the first knows what it felt to start out at the bottom and the last knows being first is a matter of effort, patience and drive. My grandma had no mother, my dad had a dirt floored house, my mom was "too short" to play voleibol, my grandpa did not finish school... Everyone has a story that they can use as an excuse or surpass as a push to their life. My grandpa used to tell me that the "cheat" to negativity is to wire your brain to leave bad days behind and yearn for the best of days that are still to come... And today, this present you are feeling ...

Too Many?

Apple, running, soccer, movies, music. (more on these on later posts) Those are some of my most important passions in life. Apple came into my life in 2004 with the iPod Classic, from there I did not purchase a new one until the iPod Nano 1st gen and ever since then upgraded yearly my iPod until I got into the iPhone 5 and the rest is history. I fell in love with Jobs' crazy life and ideology very early into investigating who in the world made these viral products (iPods in their prime), and the Apple idea of technology and liberal arts together really resonantes with someone like me that loves both tech and music. Running became a passion thanks to my uncle (who is like a dad to me) that bet me that I could not finish a 10K run when I was 17. I took the challenge and in the process felt passionate towards the journey towards a race. a 10K normally takes less than an hour, but the training takes weeks and months. I am now training for marathon distance (42K or 26.2miles) a...
