Meet the next generation of notebooks.

They are here:

The new 13″ MacBook, the new 15″ MacBook Pro and the improved MacBook Air. See them all together with a keynote of the event on the Apple Hotnews Section here.

Engadget has already put up an unboxing gallery and some first impressions of the new MacBooks, you can see it here.

The prices seem ok, starting at $1299 for the MacBook and $1999 for the MacBook Pro. You can already order them in the Apple Store, they started shipping out today. I can`t wait until I get one here in Romania!

Also if you want the old white model, watch out for the $999 ofer for it!

Just a few hours…

… until the Apple event.

Rumours are that we will only see the new MacBook and MacBook Pro 15″ model with round corners, a black frame around the display, glossy HD display, a new pressure sensitive multi-touch trackpad with no buttons, two graphic cards and a 9-cell battery that will last for 7 hours. And an update for the Air on top of that.

I hope you are as excited as I am for the new announcements.

I was away.

Sorry for not writing anything for a month or more.. but I was very busy with a new job and all.

Things are on a track now and I`ll try to keep posting

A very nice campaign.

Chrome + Firefox = LOVE. or not ?

If anybody tried to uninstall Chrome, he would see that Google wants you to tell them what you didn’t like.

The funny part is that Internet Explorer is started in order to do that.

Even if you have set Firefox as the default browser.

This tells a lot about future Google and Mozilla developments together.

These days, all of the Internet is going crazy after Google Chrome, like it happens every time that Google launches a new product. Talk about marketing.

Google Chrome – the all new Google browser

George — Tue, 02 Sep 2008 06:29:49 +0000

It`s official: Google is launching the beta version of their new browser today and it will be available in more than 100 countries.

The new browser is named Chrome and it promises to be a whole new web experience.

Personally, I`d wish they kept supporting Firefox, but who knows ? Maybe this is going to be better.

More info on the features here and the original post on the Official Google Blog here.

Everybody is waiting for the beta to go live any minute now.

Webdesign at it’s best

George — Fri, 29 Aug 2008 07:59:28 +0000

I was cruising on the warm waters of the Internet the other day, partially looking for a job in graphics or something related, and found one of the best sites I have seen in some time.

The reason for which I haven’t seen it before is that I visited the Romanian site until now, and I have never been curious about the global one.

Leaving this appart, one wonders: What does an advertising agency need to have in the first place ?

Originality.

And that is what you can find at Leo Burnett.

Because “Big Ideas come out of Big Pencils.”
