Steve Jobs car
In the last week Ive heard on podcasts and online the fact that Apple CEO Steve Jobs does not have any licence plates displayed on his car. Instead there is a barcode in its place. Rumour has it the plates are kept in the boot if required.
Actually i think this is pretty cool and makes alot of sense. You can just bet its cheaper to pay any fines that may be received rather than the hassle of replacing stolen plates all the time. The most important fact is that most number plates just ruin the look anyway especially on a silver Merc.

Apple Announces iPhone 2.1 Software Update
Apple announced today that the iPhone will be receiving the much-anticipated iPhone 2.1 software update this Friday 12 September 2008. According to Steve Jobs, the update is “big”. Of note, Jobs points out that there should be fewer dropped calls, lots of bug fixes, and huge battery life improvements. Additionally, applications should stop crashing and backups will be significantly faster.
Well personally i hope the expected tweaks happen as my backups are sometimes extremely long and I’m currently only using about 5GB of the 16GB space. The battery life has been so, so but hey i cant put the thing down. I have been lucky with only a couple of freeze ups requiring a restart and ive loaded about 20 apps. Compared to my Nokia N95 the reception and signal strength has been low at times so that can only improve. I guess now we just have to wait and see what we get on Friday or Saturday down under.

Latest Microsoft & Apple Ads
Microsoft has started its new ad campaign featuring its founder Bill Gates and sitcom star Jerry Seinfeld.
This is part of a new USD $300 million ad campaign being developed for Microsoft, which is aimed at combating the public’s poor perception of the company’s latest PC operating system Windows Vista. Vista has been continually slammed in the media since its release as being hard to use compared with rival products from Apple.
I watched the ad and well its quirky and a little strange at best. Will this campaign help restore faith in Vista just in time for the release of the next version of windows or will it die a horrible slow death?
At least I’m glad to see Microsoft get up off the deck and at least return serve to the Apple Mac v PC ads that have been so successful. These star the totally annoying dweeb Justin Long who is supposed to represent the Mac and the fantastic John Hodgman repping the PC. I just love the role John Hodgman plays, he just makes it.
The latest Get A Mac vs PC ad is “Off The Air” so check it out.

Apple fans loyal despite iPod, iPhone 3G woes
First, an iPhone price cut left early buyers feeling foolish, and then came reports that some iPods were spitting sparks.
Now, the new iPhone 3G has been marred by bugs, spotty service, disappearing programs for the device and a veil of secrecy over software developers trying to broaden its appeal.
Such a string of mishaps and missteps might throw another electronics company into crisis. But of course, Apple Inc. isn’t just another electronics company. Even as iPhone griping rages online, it looks like Apple’s sterling reputation will emerge untarnished.
