The Beatles come to iTunes
01 year ago
It’s funny how the value of historical events fade as time goes by. The “big announcement” from Apple was that The Beatles are now available on iTunes. For those of us who grew up with their music, this is kinda cool. Now I would imagine if I was in my 50′s and the Beatles had sung the anthems of my glory days I would be really excited.
As I am the senior staff member around the office, my perspective on the significance of this event is a little different that those who weren’t around for the 70′s…or even most of the 80′s. If you’re truly going to have the end-all-be-all music store, it’s just not complete without the single most influential band of all time. So finally, the long missing piece has been added and iTunes can move forward.
If you listen to an mp3 backwards can you hear a message saying that Paul is dead? (if you’re over 40 you’ll get this)
Note: I’d like to introduce a couple of our staff members who appear in this strip. Dustin Dikes (the dog with the shaggy hair) and Vou Xiong (appearing as Pikachu).
Happiness is a new iPhone 4
01 year ago
Well it finally happened. Ryan and I went out and got our new iPhone 4s….and we’re so happy we did. I really like my iPhone3 (now belonging to Mrs. Big Green Ape), but this new version is amazing. The best thing is the sharper screen. Don’t get me wrong, the old screen was good, but these old eyes need any help they can get. It’s sharp and crisp and very helpful when I do my reading first thing in the morning.
Ryan has already mastered FaceTime, sharing videos of his lunch warming up in the microwave. I think we’re going to have fun with these.
