Apple Store 5th Avenue Offensive to Muslims.

A Middle East research organization reports that Apple's flagship retail store on 5th Avenue in midtown Manhattan (between 58th and 59th) is offensive to Muslims. The report cites an Islamic Web site urging Muslims to spread the word in hope that "Muslims will be able to stop the project."

The report by The Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI), a 501 (c)3 organization based in Washington, D.C., states that some Islamic Web sites take exception to Apple's cube-shaped building design (pictured above) and that it "constitutes a blatant insult to Islam."

The reason? Because the building resembles the Ka'ba in Mecca (pictured below), is called "Apple Mecca," (by whom?), is open 24 hours a day like the Ka'ba, and "contains bars selling alcoholic beverages."

Ka'ba means cube. It is the first place Allah was worshiped. From the outside it does not look very exciting. It is made of concrete blocks. Inside it is decorated with texts from the Qu'ran.

I was just at the Fifth Avenue Apple store in NYC and don't remember them serving alcohol. The report appears to have misunderstood the intent of the "Genius Bar" and the "iPod bar." The group which "explores the Middle East through the region's media" only appears to have two valid facts in their complaint - that the Apple store is in the shape of a cube and that it's open 24 hours a day.

UPDATE: MEMRI is not suggesting that the Apple store is offensive, they merely cite "an Islamic Web site." Their function is to translate existing news reports from Arabic, not endorse or agree with those reports.

Apple Store 5th Avenue Offensive to Muslims.

Report: Islamic site finds Apple store offensive by ZDNet's Jason D. O'Grady -- A Middle East research organization reports that Apple's flagship retail store on 5th Avenue in midtown Manhattan (between 58th and 59th) is offensive to Muslims. The report cites an Islamic Web site urging Muslims to spread the word in hope that "Muslims will be able to stop the project."

The Genius Bar and iPod don't sell Beer.

Macbook Opening

Here is a video i found on the internet of someone opening their Apple Macbook. I thought you would enjoy this.

Fun is not sold separately

Sure, a new PC comes with software. It’s just not software you’d ever want to use. A new Mac, on the other hand, comes with lots of really great stuff. So you can make lots of really great stuff.


Unpack your new PC and you’ll be amazed at what it offers. A bundle of mismatched software and that nagging feeling that your desktop has just been sold to the highest bidder. Of course, it does have that cool calculator. Oh, and a clock. That’ll come in handy when you’re ticking off the hours it takes you to uninstall all the software you don’t want and buy all the software you do.

Bring home a new Mac and you bring home an OS with more than 200 built-in features — including Dashboard widgets, Mail, and iChat AV, among other cool things — and the award-winning suite of iLife applications.

All that makes the Mac the center of your digital life from get-go. Just ask Walt Mossberg of The Wall Street Journal. “Out of the box,” says Mossberg, “the Mac has better photo, music, video, and DVD-creation software than any Windows computer I’ve seen.” That’s because Apple’s iLife applications are built upon the same technology as pro applications like Logic Pro and Final Cut Studio. And unlike some media management software that only offers cookie-cutter clip art, iLife features gorgeous, professionally designed themes and templates that truly complement your baby album, vacation movie, family podcast, pop culture blog — anything you create on your Mac.


And creating stuff on your Mac is a mere matter of plug and play. Connect your digital camera, and iPhoto automatically launches and begins importing your photos. Open iChat and instantly start your own videochat with your iMac or MacBook Pro’s built-in iSight camera. Watch crystal-clear, HD video — no installation required — with QuickTime. Compose your own songs using nothing more than your computer keyboard and GarageBand loops. It’s all there, right from the moment you turn on your Mac. (Before that, even.)

So forget the fine print. With a Mac, fun is not sold separately.

Apple Design

From its breathtaking industrial design to its elegant desktop icons to everything in between, a Mac delivers a computing experience to savor. And the more you get to know it, the more you’ll want to spend time with it. How many things can you say that about?


Apple designers and engineers agonize over every millimeter of every new Macintosh model and every pixel of the user interface. The result: ergonomic products that are the toast of the design world. You can see obsession with detail wherever you look: the space-saving elegance of the all-in-one design of the iMac, the pint-sized perfection of the Mac mini, the anodized aluminum alloy enclosure of the MacBook Pro, even the elegantly simple Mighty Mouse.


About the user interface, the more said the better. It starts with the desktop. A unique, friendly background image welcomes you, and photo-realistic icons on the Dock and in the Finder beg to be clicked. Launch the Dashboard and marvel at the colorful widgets — small applications that are as elegant as they are functional. Start a multi-person video conference using iChat and a built-in iSight camera and see an astonishing three-dimensional view of all participants. Enjoy pristine video quality in QuickTime movies.

No detail is too small. Window title bars possess the eye-pleasing look of brushed metal and brightly colored buttons that immediately signal their functions.

So throw out your preconceived notions of how a computer should look, then take a closer look at a Mac.

What iLife is all About

If you’ve ever wanted to make a movie, publish your own podcast, create gorgeous coffee-table books, produce a Hollywood-style DVD, state your views in a daily blog, make beautiful music, or any combination of the above, you’ve definitely come to the right place.


To iLife to be exact. A suite of stellar applications, iLife consists of iPhoto, iMovie HD, iDVD, GarageBand, iTunes, and iWeb. Every one’s a winner. And everyone can perform magic with them. What’s that, you say? On the PC, you can find any number of photo applications, music software, DVD authoring packages, jukebox programs, and web creations tools. And if you don’t like the wares of one developer, another one has a package with just as many features. Maybe more.


And therein lies the problem. You can purchase lots of separate programs from different PC developers, and any one of them may have similar features to those you’ll find in one of the iLife applications. But how many of those applications work hand in glove together? How easily can you transfer photos you used in a photo book to burn onto a DVD or incorporate as a still in a movie or quickly add to a blog? They may work pretty well apart. But how well do they work together?

Seamless integration. That’s the telling difference between iLife and all the great pretenders out there. Independently superb, the iLife applications work together to let you easily create practically anything you can imagine.


For example, thousands of people just like yourself have created movies using iMovie HD. They may never have edited a movie prior to using iMovie, but iMovie put all the necessary tools at their disposal and made the entire editing process drag-and-drop easy. Once bitten with the movie-making bug, those filmmakers are now screening movies shot in high definition and showing them on widescreen displays. How many PC applications do you think can do that?


That’s not all. Thanks to the integration built into the iLife suite, those filmmakers are also incorporating voiceovers recorded in GarageBand; effortlessly plucking high-res photos from their iPhoto libraries; scoring their movies with tracks out of iTunes; adding chapter markers that iDVD uses to create scene selection buttons; and with a single click, using iWeb to publish those movies online for the world to enjoy.

In iLife, creativity rules the day.

My Apple Macbook 13"

Hi Everybody! I'd like to introduce you to the Apple Macbook.

Just to let you know as a Christmas present a got a brand new Apple Macbook 13".
It's been working great and problem-free for 1 month. (I got an early Christmas present)
The 13" wide screen display is just beautiful. It's got enough room to watch movies but the text isn't that small. Every new Mac comes with iLife 06 a suite of great programs for doing creative stuff like make movies or create photo slide shows. The one i have been using the most is Garageband which lets you make your own podcasts and music. It's really cool.

I'll give you the specs of the Macbook:

Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed: 2 G Hz
Number Of Processors: 1
Total Number Of Cores: 2
L2 Cache (per processor): 4 MB
Memory: 1 GB
Bus Speed: 667 MHz
Hard Drive: 80GB

The operating system on the Macbook is Mac OS X Tiger 10.4
Leopard is coming out mid-2007 but the Tiger system is pretty sweet.
For example, in iMovie if you want to import something from a DV camera you just plug it in, choose from some great transitions for each chapter select music (If you want to) and then it's all up to the Mac. It's imports the video, the adds effects and after all the messy stuff you're finished with a Hollywood style movie. It's that easy!

In iPhoto creating coffee-table style Photo books is just a few clicks away. Select a theme in iPhoto, drag picture in the book and then oder it online. Whether it be a Hard-cover keepsake or a simple Soft-cover book of Photos. They all look professional.

Another nice feature in the Macbook is the built-in iSight web cam. Remember those days when you have to carry a heavy iSight with you? Well now you don't because it's built-in. Sure the quality isn't that of a Stand-alone one but it does the job easily.

One last thing......
If you own a Mac with Dashboard with all the Widgets on it i have found a nice Widget called Rotrox. It's a talking robot friend in your computer. Tell it your name and it greets you every time you start your computer and turn on Dashboard. It's really fun.

F1 Australia Grand Prix-Albert Park Melbourne,Victoria

Here is a video of the Formula One Grand Prix at Albert Park, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. It's not really about electronic stuff but it's still pretty cool. The tickets also cost much money so it's worth seeing the video. By the way it's only like 45 seconds!
