Even as a long-term PC user who contemplates buying a Mac every time I choose a new laptop - and still chooses something familiar (yet another PC, I mean), I was more than impressed by what I saw during Apple's notebook presentation event yesterday. But as it usually is with any big announcement, there are people who are excited and those who are very disappointed about what they get. Yesterday I published a post describing 7 reasons that may push people to upgrade their existing laptops to new Macbook Pros (those very reasons why I myself will probably finally buy a Macbook next time) but after reading tons of negative comments today everywhere, I have decided to collect the most common complains about the newly-introduced laptops and publish them here as well to try and be objective...

Do you have any special feelings about your very first email account? I myself remember mine perfectly well: I had to go to an internet café to register my first account as I did not have any internet connection at home at the time. This was back in 2002 and I remember that day very well though I don't remember why exactly I had a need in an email account.

But if there is one thing I am sure of it is that there were absolutely no options at the time - Mail.ru was the first thing that came to mind when thinking of a free email for any Russian user. And today Mail...

Today we seem to have some great news for all the T-Mobile customers who have preordered their first ever Android-powered G1 phones by HTC - and the news is possible delivery of your phones well ahead of the scheduled October 22.

The thing is that some of the people who preordered their phones from T-Mobile after the presentation noticed that the order status shows as shipped with the scheduled delivery date this Friday - 5 days before the initially announced date of October 22 when the phone will hit the stores...

Yesterday was definitely a big day for Apple with Apple fans eagerly waiting for the presentation of the new notebooks. As usually, there were some people extremely happy about the presentation and already promising to sell their slightly used Macbooks to replace them with new versions and there are those that are equally unhappy about many things Apple has introduced. But in the current economic situation the most important people are stock holders, not the fans that will replace one expensive laptop with a newer expensive laptop out of loyalty to the brand...

There's some good news from the web video conversational service Seesmic that has really gained traction in the recent months among social media users. The news today is that Seesmic is officially mobile now.

Seesmic has had a mobile client for Windows Mobile devices for a while now: it was built by an independent developer and launched in the end of September. Of course the client has received some promotional help from Seesmic itself and the results are impressive as it has received more than 1,500 downloads in less than a month...

The social browser Flock is definitely the browser that is most appealing to early adopters of all the new technologies available on the web. From the very beginning the team behind the Mozilla-based browser was focused on offering the browser as the ultimate access point to as many web services as possible - thus making the browser very appealing to anyone using more than one social media service or social network.

Tonight the team has launched the new version of the browser out of beta - Flock 2.0 - which is supposed to further enhance the browsing experience for Flock users...

Of course it is quite understandable that everyone has to do some personal staff now and then when in the office - like answer an urgent phone call or have a quick chat on Skype with a friend to decide where to meet in the evening. I believe that it is even worse with IT professionals as we have even more distractions now that often play an important part in our lives - like IMs, discussion forums, Twitter, FriendFeed, various social networks and entertainment applications...

So Apple has introduced major changes to all the notebooks with the most impressive changes in the Macbook Pro machines. Yesterday we heard lots of voices speaking about their impatience to upgrade to the new Macbook Pros once they are shipping - even with almost new existing Pros in use. So today seems like a good time to summarize the most interesting things introduced into the new notebooks that will most certainly push these people even closer to stores now that we have facts instead of rumors...

The never-ending competition story between Apple and Microsoft is always a funny thing to watch - they exchange biting words constantly and the entire blogosphere is invariably ready to discuss who is more successful in the latest example - Apple or Microsoft. What's more, consumers often make their buying decision when choosing between a Mac and a PC based on what they hear both companies saying about the competitor - be it in ads or in interviews...
