Windows 8 and why it will kill Windows
First of all I want to state that I do, and always have, disliked Microsoft. I dislike Windows in every way and I can’t stand any product they bring out (with the exception of Kinect, that was pretty cool). Why? Because Microsoft is a money hungry profit machine that will not innovate unless forced to do so. Just getting that out of the way first.
Windows 8. Microsoft has finally announced it’s so called tablet friendly OS with its ultra hyped “Metro UI”. But here is the thing: when I put on a tuxedo I am still an idiot! Dressing up crap is still crap! OK, so I admit the UI itself is good-looking and it could find itself at home on a tablet in terms of aesthetics only, but Windows 8 is going to be a major desktop OS for which Metro is terrible. The interface is clearly designed for a tablet! Why are they passing it off as a desktop deal?
But it’s when we get to the tablet side of things we really see it crashing and burning. It brings the desktop, a concept built for PCs, to a post-PC device. Big mistake. A PC is supposed to be a digital office, with a desk. We sprawl documents over our desks, which is embodied by the ability to place documents and open applications in various overlapping locations on the screen. But let me ask you this: how many times have you spread five or six documents over your lap on the subway all in equal view? Answer: never. It is ridiculous that they want to turn a workstation orientated design into a highly portable device.
But then there is the file-system. I am a hardcore geek and I love my file-system, however my mother and every other fringe tech user hates them. They find them baffling and complicated and hate having to look for files and open them in the right place. Which is why Smartphones don’t have them, and neither should any Post-PC device. Enter Windows 8: a monument to backward thinking. Yes, users love trawling through directory trees with a crazy system generated naming schemes searching for their pictures while they are on the move!
Why Apple is different?
Sure, Apple is making OS X more similar to iOS. However, do you know the difference between iOS and Windows Mobile OS? One has succeeded and one has failed drastically. Can you guess which one succeeded? That’s right! iOS has! Also Mac OS X isn’t iOS, it’s still it’s own operating system. You know why? Because desktops and laptops are meant to have a different OS than tablets. They are two incompatible devices.
Microsoft, you are also too late in the tablet game, you won’t be able to gain enough market share to keep you afloat. The phone business left you a long time ago. So if you try to abandon the desktop and try for Post-PC devices, you WILL fail. Keep doing what you are doing, I love to see you fail, Microsoft!
In conclusion, Windows 8 will crash and burn. It will stink at being a desktop OS and it will stink at being a tablet OS. Microsoft has made a really bad choice. This will be a perfect opportunity for either Apple or (God forbid) Linux to take over. No one will like Windows 8. They could go back to 7, but you will still see Microsoft market share go down, perhaps a significant amount.
Word of advice to you Microsoft, that is if you care at all, don’t put a less than 1% market share OS and replace it with a >80% market share OS. Shame on you Microsoft, shame on you.
Apple, a little advice to you, fight with all your might to bring Macs into every household. This is THE opportunity.

Apple’s Stock Rebound
I believe that Wednesdays Apple gains of stock were enough to prove Apple’s dominance in the stock market. When the news came out that Apple had an insanely great quarter, it’s stocks exited correction mode and went back to its usual rising mode. Apple stock jumped 8.9% at the end of the day and 10% by the end of the week. The $49 share raise on Wednesday was the biggest one-day raise in terms of money in Apple’s history. The percentage was the most they had seen in 3 years. Apple’s market evaluation gained $50 billion dollars that day to $570 billion dollars. This amount is more than Google, HP, Microsoft, Dell, and Yahoo combined. This stock is now enough to single-handedly uplift or destroy the Stock Market, depending on the circumstances. The Nasdaq and S&Ps both reported significant increases whenever Apple increases. Before Wednesday, Apple’s stock wasn’t doing so hot having dropped 12%. Trust me, this had a huge impact on the market. The Nasdaq and S&P both reported losses whenever this happened, in fact the whole market was on the down swing. Apple’s shares have increased 51% this year. In January, Apple’s next competitor in the MVP line, Exxon was in the lead. However, since then, Apple has widened its gap between it and Exxon. Apple now has a $160 billion lead over Exxon, making it the most valuable company in the world. How a electronics company overtook a gasoline company, I don’t know. It must have been really difficult. If Apple weren’t around to influence the market, it wouldn’t look as good as it does with Apple. At a time like this, the Stock Market needs Apple. It needs it to be better. Apple has a positive future and with Apple in the Stock Market, so does the Stock Market.

WWDC 2012: What to expect?
Apple, on Wednesday, released tickets for its upcoming WWDC conference in San Francisco, California. It also sold out of its tickets on Wednesday in a record breaking 2 hours! Wow! That is incredible! What is even more astonishing is that the tickets were only sold to developers. What can we expect on June 11-15? I’ll go through all the details of what is to come on that fateful week.
First, Apple will show off it’s new Mac OS, OS X Mountain Lion. ML is bound to be THE OS release of the year with many iOS-inspired features, it’s bound to be insanely great. Please check out my article about all the known features of the new OS
Second, on a similar note, MacBooks will be expected to release with OS X Mountain Lion. Unless some out of the blue Apple announcement happens, it will be shown off at WWDC. Hundreds of rumors point to June being the release month for these computers and they are probably right. Please check out my MacBook Pro 2012 article for more information on the upcoming MacBook Pros.
Third, Apple may end up showcasing iOS 6 at this event. It has been about 8-9 months since the last release and it’s about a year in between releases so you can imagine that they will release it very soon. What will be in iOS 6? Better multitasking, Facebook Integration, better iCloud integration, a better Maps application that could be more like your GPS, being able to communicate with non-Apple users with FaceTime (a PC application will go along side this). Something I’d like to see is automatic app updates, possibly update while the iPad is being charged. A feature on the App Store that reminds me of a shopping cart would be nice, since you have to download ONE APP AT A TIME. There is a lot of things Apple can include in iOS6.
Fourth, Don’t expect the iPhone 5 here. The cycle in which Apple introduces its iPhones has been changed ever since the 4S was released in October 2011. This may or may not be repeated this year but I don’t think Apple is ready to release its iPhone 5. If you would like more information on what to expect for the iPhone 5, please check out this article.
WWDC seems it will be a really eventful event:) I know I look forward to seeing what they release and I am personally excited to see the new MacBooks. What about you? Comment below and let me know what you are excited about.

Steve Jobs Wonka- Jobs’ rendition on Willy Wonka
Steve Jobs was a quirky character, one of the smartest who ever lived. However, he was a child at heart and this story proves it. Steve reportedly wanted to put a golden ticket into the millionth iMac purchase which gave the recipient a fly in from where ever they were to cupertino and an opportunity to meet Jobs at the Cupertino campus. They also got the iMac purchase price refunded. Steve wanted to meet a real fanboy… Or at least someone who bought Apple products. Does this sound familiar? To me, it does. Ever see Charlie and the Chocolate Factory? Steve had a sense of humor in him underneath his almost narcissistic and serious personality. It shows that he was a child at heart. That is something that I loved so much about Steve. He could be serious and he could be funny and light-hearted. He was a well-rounded person.
So what happened to the idea? California law states that actual handover of money or a representation of money (hint the golden ticket) is not allowed. Once again, Californian politicians ruin the fun, but we are not into politics here at CoA so I won’t go into detail:) If you want to read more of these types of these stories about the late co-founder, read Ken Segall’s “Insanely Simple: The Obsession that drove Apple’s success”. It’s a great read!

Why you should switch
If you currently a Windows user, I’m going to list off reasons why you should switch to Mac. I might change your mind about Windows and have you switch to a better computer.
Security
This is probably a reason that you’ve seen on other sites, but it is something that is important. Apple has the best security in their computers, so much so you don’t need an antivirus for it. Apple uses a different safe and coding compared to Windows. This code is called UNIX and has security built right into the system.
However, there have been reports of a new malware targeting Macs, perhaps you’ve seen it on the news. However, and this is a big however, Apple patched the vulnerability within a few weeks. It takes Microsoft the time from one major update to the next to do that. You know what a major part of a Windows update is? It’s security patching and lots of it, but yet they still can’t seem to get it right.
Better user experience
It’s ease of use, slick GUI, better multitasking, the Finder, the Dock, better looking icons, the system software is easy to use (no need for drivers, uninstalling application is as simple as drag and dropping them to the trash bin etc.)
Good Quality Parts
While a lot of PC makers are lagging in terms of quality, Apple is not. Apple uses one piece of metal to protect its computers’ guts. The quality of the screen on Macs are higher def than Windows PCs (however, I will admit that MacBook Pro’s screens aren’t as good as they could/should be but are still better than a lot of other PC computers).
Nothing Blinks
That annoying blinking doesn’t exist on Mac laptops. You know what I’m talking about, there isn’t a blinking light for battery, for wifi signal, for stuff that I don’t even know what it’s for. None of these exist on a Mac which adds to the sexiness of the machine.
All that glitters isn’t gold
Apple tends to get carried away when it comes to their computers’ neatness and it works. Just work with or see a Mac and you’ll know what a beauty it is.
Shoot two OSs with one computer
Why have only one OS when you can have two legitimately. On Mac, you can run Mac OS and Windows OS if needed. You can use Mac OS all the time but if there ever comes a time where you need to run a windows application, you can. And it’s simple.
Simple
Apple is known for its simplicity with their products. In fact, with the iMac, you don’t need a single cord except for a wall outlet plug. Thats it. When it comes to MacBook, same thing you need a charger, Mac mini you need three cords. One for wall outlet, one for speakers and one for monitor. Thats it. Very simple.
More useful apps out of the box- Even hardcore Windows fans probably agree with me when I say, stock apps on Windows stink. Mac apps are the way to go. iMovie, iPhoto, iDVD, Photo Booth, Safari, App Store (to get more apps), Finder, settings, iCal, Address Book, Mail, FaceTime and more. Better than IE and Windows Movie Player and about 10-15 useless advertisements for anti-virus software.
Settings
I have used both settings applications on both OSs and I have to say that Mac settings are more intuitive and simple to use. It’s very easy to locate computer settings.
Individualized settings bars for every app
You know where the top bar is where “file” “edit” and “view” are? Sure you do. And on a Mac each app has its own “setting bar” equipped to what it needs and not what it doesn’t.
Customer Support
Should you have a problem with your Mac (had mine for 6 years, haven’t taken one it once) you have the best customer support team you can find. You don’t even have to talk to those annoying robot voices either. Just drive to the Apple store with your Mac (or any Apple product for that matter) and they will do anything and everything they can to help the problem. They are rated one of the best, if not the best, customer services in the world.
Macs are cheaper than PCs
I know all you Windows users are outraged so allow me to explain. The initial cost of buying a Mac is more expensive, however the amount of times you replace a Mac and buy a new one than that of PC is a lot less. In fact a PC usually lasts about 1-2 years, maybe three before you need to replace it. Macs have a lasting rate of about 6-7 years, possibly going just a little bit slower at that time then when you got it. Plus all the headaches Windows will cause you (crashes, viruses, etc) isn’t worth it either. So short term, yes Macs ARE more expensive short term, but long term, they will save you money and the environment.
Environmentally friendly
I have to hand it to Apple, over the past few years Apple has gone from one of the most Earth costing companies on the globe to the exact opposite. First, their screens are very economically friendly. Second, the computers use about a third of the energy that Windows computers use. Third, if you have a old phone or device you don’t want, Apple will not only recycle it for you, but it will usually give you credit as well.
Creative people unite!
You know who you are. The professional photographers, the movie makers, the music makers, the band members, the techno music makers, the gamers, the designers, the graphic designers, the photoshoppers, the business people, and the creative ones (as aforementioned) You know who you are, and the Mac is perfect for you.
Gamers will love it!
I know that Windows Fanboys are notorious at putting out the opinion (and false statement) that there isn’t games nor any good software. It is true that PCs are better for gaming to a certain point, to get a good gaming computer you need to spend about as much as a Mac or more (about $2000). However, the statement that Macs don’t have good games is an untruthful statement that can be disproven to three points. First, the Mac App Store (MAS) has many high quality apps and games at reasonable prices. Second, just look up the game you want for Mac and you will more than likely find it. And third, GameFly, one of the biggest game rentals on Earth is joining the Mac game. They are adding a Mac category to their service in the coming weeks or they may already have! The reason people don’t believe that there are no games for Mac is simply because they aren’t advertised.
Finder
Have you tried searching for a file on a Windows computer. Depending on what you’re looking for, it can take a long time. With Finder, it doesn’t take a long time. In fact, to find a file deep in the computer takes a few seconds if you know what the file is called. Even if you don’t, it won’t take long to find, maybe 30-45 seconds tops. On Windows 7 it’s been improved, but it took Microsoft over a decade to figure this out!
iOS users
All the owners of a iPod touch, iPhone and/or iPad listen up- Your iOS devices and Macs are meant to go hand in hand with one another, they are meant to be best buds while your PC and iOS devices are just meant to be acquaintances.
Just try it!
If you’re sure you want to try Mac but you don’t know if you can afford a 1000 dollar computer, Apple has kept you in mind, don’t worry! The Mac mini is the perfect solution for you. It allows you to use your existing mouse, keyboard and monitor and give you the Mac experience , the low end Mac mini is just $599. It is 2.3 GHz i5 processor or the $799 model is 2.5 GHz i5 processor. To get Mac with all the amazing features noted above at only $599 is a real bargain. However, this is only if you are more of a casual computer user. Minis can handle big software like Adobe CS5 but not nearly as well as a iMac can. iMacs are the computers up the line. These computers pack a big punch AND it includes EVERYTHING you need! It has the computer, monitor, keyboard and mouse/trackpad all in one. It truly is the all in one computer. The final one up the line is the Mac Pro. The Pro packs the biggest punch of them all, some of the best specs on the market AND the best Professional computer out there. However, it isn’t for everyone since it is $2499. Here is the way of the desktops. Mac mini is for consumer use, iMac is for the people who are more of a power user and don’t have the monitor, keyboard etc., and the Pro is for Professional people. Now to the Laptops. There are two kinds of laptops, the Airs and the Pros. The Airs are more for the consumer based market and the Pro is more for those who are, you guessed it, professional. The Air may be very thin, but it still packs a big punch. The Airs are very thin and are very fast. They are not, however, made for high-end applications. The Pros, however, are. The MBPs are very fast laptops with exquisite capabilities. They are able to run high end applications as though they were nothing, the MBP is just a very powerful computer. However, I would wait until new MBs come out, since they will be even better.
Conclusion
Macs are safe, intuitive, easy to use computers that makes a normally difficult task on Windows almost fun. Macs are made for business, power, creative and average consumers alike. Macs have a wonderful, easy to use OS and applications. There is a saying that goes a little like this, once you go Mac, you never look back, and since I made the switch years ago, I never have. I don’t expect you to run out right this very instant and buy a Mac, but when you are ready to buy a new computer, I hope you take it into very serious consideration. And I hope when you do make a choice, I hope you go with the better computer.

Are iPhones going to eventually kill iPods? As in the case of evolution, the stronger defeat the weaker
I’m worried for iPod. He’s been left out of the picture for a long time, almost forgotten. The iPod shuffle recently just got over an identity crisis. He forgot his buttons little while ago but has since recovered it. iPod nano is struggling to stay in people’s pockets, since he’s so small. The iPod classic, well he’s just the same.
The iPods are now desperate for the once undivided attention it once had before iPhone and iPad came along and became very popular. Apple products have worked like a clocks in the past when it comes to releases, iPhone in June, iPad in April and a new line of iPods in September/October area. However, it’s been 7 months since then and the iPods have still received little attention even from people outside Apple. I think Apple is beginning to abandon the iPod. But how could it abandon the one product that basically made it a technology company competitor, one that has changed many industries, the music industry included. Because it has a better device to take over. It has iOS devices to take over. And yes this does include iPod touch.
Even the nano has a iOS-like interface. Apple is probably running out of ideas for the new iPods. I mean as I reported to you in a recent article, the only iPod that would see change would be the iPod touch. Apple has the overall monopoly in music players, but is that really important anymore? I think that if Apple were to cancel all iPods besides the Touch and maybe the shuffle, I don’t think they would care very much. Apple is supposedly going to introduce a three inch touch screen device which could be a variation of an iPod nano but I think they will kill the iPod name in the process. They might have iTouch and iTouch air (the supposed three inch device). Apple will probably not kill the line just yet, perhaps in the next few years, but he is becoming more and more forgotten about.

Stocks of Apple tumble 10% of its highest value, it went down because of a not yet released product
Within the past few days Apple has been taking a battering when it comes to stock, being brought back into the $500 zone. But what’s causing it all, why is it doing this? Within the past few days, rumors have been going around that Apple will release a new “iPad Air” a smaller screened version of the actual iPad. The fact that it doesn’t even exist gets me. Why would investors get so scared about rumors when all rumors are are ideas that Apple might do next. I have brought this contention up before. Should Apple enter the 7 inch screen tablet field? Apparently, investors don’t think so. I don’t think so either, do I have to remind you that most 7 inch tablets have been complete failures. Of course this doesn’t mean Apple wouldn’t make a great one. However, investors are weary about Apple going in that direction. I believe that Apple could make a great 7 inch if they wanted to, but I’m not sure they want to. If they did before, they certainly don’t think so now that investors are bringing the stock down. There is another thing that investors are worried about and they shouldn’t be. They worried that iPad sales will slip. iPad sales have never slipped ever since it was released, iPad sales have always been increasing. The first quarter of 2012 is no exception. Investors get into a unnecessary frenzy right before a financial report of a quarter comes out. A new report is due out within the next few weeks, April 24th to be exact. I do not think Apple will post negative or even neutral results. I don’t know why investors are downgrading it’s stock when you would expect it would actually increase in anticipation. Once Apple releases good news on the 24th, Apple stock will return to its rightful 600+ a share if not more (700+?). just a word to investors, calm down, Apple can handle itself pretty well.

The new iPod line-What to expect?
The next iPod line is set to debut sometime in the near future, either later in the year or early next year. What will Apple do with their iPod lines? Let’s discuss this in great detail. We will talk about the “Big 4” AKA the shuffle, nano, touch, and the classic.
Classic- Any people out there who are looking forward to buying a new classic will be genuinely disappointed. By my predictions (and quite a few others) Apple will cut its iPod classic line just as it will with the Mac Pro. The iPod Classic was last updated in 2009. This revision, including the one before it in 2008, was minimal. The last major update was in 2007, 5 years ago. It has been only two years or less for the other iPods’ updates (depending on the type of iPod) and people are already getting fired up about a new update. An iPod generally updates once every one to two years. The iPod classic in particular was almost always one year in between updates. The time between the latest update and the one before it was 12 months (this would be the 2009 and 2008 revisions, respectively). If I were you and wanted a iPod classic, I would get one now because soon it will be just what it’s name is.
Expected time of release of the new iPod line- we should be expecting a new iPod line sometime in the fall, possibly somewhere around September since September is usually the time they release the new iPods (the previous touches, nanos, and shuffles were all released in September along with almost every other model).
Shuffle- The iPod shuffle has been a popular iPod release ever since it was released alongside the Mac mini (see the irony?) in 2005. It is light and small and holds enough songs to get a good workout out of and more. It is also one of Apple’s more affordable products. It’s the iPod for people on a budget. Because of this, Apple preserve the same price. Apple will more than likely step up it’s game when it comes to storage. It may be able to feature a 4 and 8 GB storage for 49.99 and 69.99 respectively. They will probably keep the same shape and just improve the overall “guts” of the shuffle.
Nano- The iPod nano has been a great member of the iPod family ever since Steve Jobs took it out of the “jeans pocket that had no use until then” (if you saw the keynote you will know what I mean). The iPod nano has seen some interesting shape changes in its years. First it was a long rectangle, then a shorter, flat rectangle, back to a long rectangle again and then now a touch-screen square. Personally, my favorite shape was the square (3rd generation). If I were Apple, I would make it this shape and make it touchscreen at the same time. I think they should get rid of the small square. I will admit, though, it makes a great watch! Of course I’m not Apple and as it turns out, IF the rumors are right, they are sticking to the nano as is. However, there may be a few new features to that. One, there will probably be a camera. Many people were not to happy when they dropped the camera from the last model (especially since they can no longer record videos using the cyborg effect). I think Apple will see their mistake there and put a camera in this time. The last time there was a camera, it was 3.2 MP, pretty low compared to today’s standards. I believe Apple will feature a higher MP camera on a new iPod nano. We may be looking at 5MP, however don’t expect it to go higher than this since the camera does take room and room is not something the nano has. Two, there might be a new feature similar to that of AirPlay. It will be able to send the music wirelessly from iPod to Apple TV. I think the regular iPods are ready for this. The iPod touch already sports it, so why cant the nano? The operating system will probably stay the same. It’s iOS-like features appeal more to people than Apple’s iPod OS. The changes under the hood will probably feature a storage boost, something we haven’t seen in a while from Apple. It is a possibility that it could sport its typical 8GB low-end model but instead of just 8 and 16, it may be able to feature 8, 16 and 32 at $129, $149 and $169 respectively. The sound quality will be improved even more than it is now (even though it’s excellent as is). The guts of the iPod nano will definitely have an improvement however we may not see much of an improvement in terms of shape or OS.
iPod touch- These “training wheels for the iPhone” have been saved purposely. We always have to save the best for last! The iPod touch 5G will feature better guts but may end up getting cosmetic and OS work done too. First, the boring stuff then the exciting stuff. The storage on the iPod touch now is very interesting. It features 8, 32 and 64 GB models. Apple has been stuck on the 8GB entry model for a while now and I think it is time to move on. I think a 16 GB model would be good as the low end. This would be followed by a 32, 64 and a possible 128 GB model. That’s right a 128GB model. Apple could pull it off if it wanted to, it has the resources, and if it doesn’t, it has the labs to design new resources. I think Apple could easily pull it off. I have a 32 GB model and I find myself having to remove apps off it all the time since I need more space for new ones. It’s the music, videos, TV shows and movies that take a burden on my space, even if I had a 64 GB, I may end up being burdened after a while. The camera is something that has bothered me for a while now. It’s ok at recording (720p) but its MP is just not good. I think Apple should strive for 1080p, especially since its on the new iPad already. I think on terms of megapixels we could be looking at 5MP, since again, space is an issue and the new iPad is 5MP, I don’t think they will give an iPod touch a better camera than an iPad, but then again the iPhone 4S does have 8MP with 1080p video so maybe we might see more than 5. I believe another feature Apple should include is glare-resistant, fingerprint-proof screen. I know I’m not the only that says they get annoyed at glare and fingerprints. It isn’t a huge deal but at times it does hinder performance. The new A5X processor debuted in the new iPad and I expect that it will make an appearance in the new iPod touch and ultimately the iPhone 5. This of course will lead to an big increase in performance allowing for 1 GB of RAM (finally) and better speed and graphics. I believe some changes in software will occur as well. I believe we will be well into iOS 5.2 or even 5.3 which could feature voice dictation among other things. One thing that Apple could do is offer its adaptation of the 3D screen, kind of like a 3DS. It would make the iPod more fun, but fun may not apply to business users. Many business people use the iPos touch because of its ease of use and light weight. In speaking of weight, I think the next generation will feature an even lighter weight and a even thinner thickness.
There are many possibilities of different variations, different ways and features Apple could put in their new iPod line. We will have to wait and see what Apple does next with them. Please comment what you would like to see in the next iPod line.

Apple Museum in New Apple HQ
The new Apple campus is expected to be completed around 2015. Already people are coming up with ideas on what Apple should have at this greatly improved campus. The main thing I am discussing in this article is an Apple museum. Just think about the current campus for a moment, you have the Apple campus sign. You have a Apple store at the campus that not only sells Apple devices but it also sells Apple gear such as t-shirts (my favorite one being the “I visited the mother ship” t-shirt) 🙂 That’s about it. If you want to see more on Apple history, you’ll have to drive to Steve Jobs old house in Cupertino, to see the place where it all began.
Of course, if there were to be a museum, it would have to be a separate building from the main corporate one since Apple needs its secrecy, putting one in the corporate building would be a security nightmare. I think they can keep the store idea (with the mother ship shirt). But again, I think an Apple museum would add to Apple’s customer fondness level, gives them good PR and not to mention another stream of profit.
So what would they put in this museum?
First, they would either put a replica or the real van that Steve Jobs sold for seed capital. They would need to put wax sculptures of Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak developing the Apple 1 and 2, they could also put one of Steve introducing the Macintosh, Steve giving one of his later keynotes, such as the iPhone keynote and perhaps even Cook giving the iPad keynote.
They would also need a separate statue to Steve Jobs. It could include segments on the famous Stanford commencment speech he made in 2005. It could also include the Think Different speech. I think that on top of all this, they should make a working model for display and use of all of the Apple products ever made so people can get a hands on feel of new and old Apple products. I think it would a positive experience for customers, and since many people have old Apple devices, I’m sure Apple could scrape together all the products they would need for this interactive part of the museum. People, I’m sure, would happily donate old Apple merchandise to the museum if Apple would mention their name as a donor.
Apple could go all different directions on how to make the Apple campus different than that of most business campuses. What do you think are good ideas to put in such museum, or what do you think Apple could put in or around their campus to make it appealing for people to want to look at it. I, for one, would like just to see the Apple Campus now as it has a lot of appeal to me (I, as you know, am a huge Apple fan!). It’ll be interesting to see what Apple does with this enormous campus!
