Video Clip Amy Winehouse

Video clip Amy Winehouse: Go back to black. Haven't seen the video before and i just like the music as much as i like the video. She must be a little bit weird to be able to sing and create music like that. Very exotic tho. If you read all about Amy Winehouse in Perezhilton.com, she is one of a kind.

I just say, keep up the good work. We love Amy Winehouse.



Here is the lyrics

Steve's Keynote (Jan. 2008)

I am late for work today, because of Steve's keynote. Terrible!! but it's worthed to watch, although at some point it's kinda annoying the way audiences kept on praising at every single ends of Steve's sentence.

A quick summary to Steve's keynote (you can see the whole video by your self here or a summary here):

  1. iPhone/iPod touch got new apps like map - still not GPS, sending SMS to more than 1 person at a time feature (WOW!!!), webclips, customise the home screen, languages and lyrics.
  2. Great innovation for iTunes: rent a movie. Coming out internationally at the end of the year. 30 days after you downloaded it and 24 hours after you watched it. Rent price is dear. Hoping it will get cheaper.
  3. Apple TV is improved. One of mac product i must have.
  4. Here comes the blast: MacBook Air "World's thinnest notebook". This is insane. It's only 0,16 inch (0,41 cm) and 3lb (1,3 kg). The biggest disaster in this product which is at the same time also the most incredible feature is no CD/DVD player. The reasons Steve mentioned in the video are of course Apple oriented solutions, but one thing interested me: Installation. With MacBook Air, you can install apps wirelessly. Slide an installation CD into your PC/Mac CD driver, MacBook Air will find the driver and installation can start. Holy Moly!!!
The question i had in my head as i saw it: do i want it? The presentation was so commercial. Made you want to buy it immediately. Lucky i am not loaded, made me think twice getting 3 to 4 digit price products. So, yes i'd love to as much as i'd love to have iPhone and iPod touch, but only when i had extra money.

Here's my apple wish list sorted to priorities - this wish list is not based on sleeky style only, but also to appreciate the great apple innovative ideas:
  1. iMac
  2. Time capsule
  3. Keyboard and mighty mouse
  4. Apple TV
  5. iPod touch/iPhone
  6. MacBook Air
Hey, i am taking charity ;-) As a low budget student, it's far from being come true. Oh btw., i am in Germany, so you might want to check out the German apple website ;-)
