Folders, Unclutter your life
Folders, how they organize our lives like no tomorrow. Without folders, our lives would be so cluttered, paper flying everywhere and we still can’t find that one paper we need. The same goes with our iTouch, iPhone, or iPad. Our home screen and other pages have so many apps it takes awhile to find one. That why Apple has created folders for us to use. Our home screens are always cluttered with so many apps that it’s difficult to find one app that we really app. Of course there is the search button for your use, but sometimes finding the app is easier then typing it in. Using folders are very easy actually. All you do is hold onto an app until the screen starts shaking. Then you hold onto an app and drag it onto another app. It will automatically make it into a folder. From there, the folder can hold up to 12 apps and you can also rename the app.
I personally love the use of the folders. It clears up my home screen and makes my iTouch look better. Other people like the use of apps because it makes them look like they have more apps. Which is technically does, but it definitely matters on your own choice. Everybody likes something different, but I prefer the folders. The ease of use stares at you in the face. It speeds up the process looking for apps. It also gathers all the same items of the same likeness and puts them into a folder.

AirPlay gone wireless
What is AirPlay? AirPlay allows the user to stream videos and music wirelessly through your iTouch, iPhone, iPod with the iTunes music player with iOS 4.2. iOS 4.2 is updated software that comes with many new features such as AirPlay. When you find that one incredible picture that you want to show to a party, you can stream it to your T.V. effortlessly. The whole party will be astonished at the picture and how easily you sent your picture to the T.V., no wires attached. All you need is an Apple T.V. and you will be worry free. Technically of course because nothing is worry free. You can stream your videos easily to your T.V. Just think, you’re watching an amazing action scene on your iTouch. That little screen doesn’t give you enough emotion so instead you turn your T.V. on and click the AirPlay icon and there you go. The full action scene except on your T.V. that is easily bigger to see then on your iTouch.
The ease of use of the AirPlay is definitely recognizable. I always have those moments when I want to watch an action scene, but sadly I have to see it on my iTouch. Now that AirPlay has come out, I love the way that I can turn my T.V. on and easily play that action scene. Now that many movies have come out with major effects, it makes AirPlay that much more useful.
The Beatles
Earlier this week, Apple had the entire world waiting on this big announcement and nobody knew what was going to happen. There was even speculation of new piece of hardware like a newer version of the iPod or iPhone. However, none of this was the case. Instead we found out that they added the Beatles to iTunes. Now, I know I asked myself this, and you may have too. Why should I care? Now all being said and done, the Beatles were and, let’s be honest, are a great band. But are they really worth an Apple release date? I don’t know. But I do know that the Beatles were a revolutionary symbol to their generation, and everyone living at that time. If you think about the 1960’s or even early rock, everyone thinks about the Beatles. They have joined the ranks of Mozart and Beethoven when someone talks about music. Now you are asking yourself, well why does Apple care? There is a simple answer to that. Apple is to the electronics as the Beatles are to music. Apple is a major symbol of the electronic age, and I am almost willing to assume that in 50 years, people will still remember Apple, even if they go out of business long before then. So maybe I am reading too much into this. It can happen. But I don’t think Steve Jobs would have a “special announcement” just for the Beatles, if somewhere in his mind he didn’t think the very same thing. Also, as if that wasn’t enough, if you go to the AppleApple website at apple.com, and click on the links about the Beatles’ announcement, they give around a five page full biography on the life of the Beatles. By bringing in the example of the Beatles, Steve Jobs just showed us how he wants Apple to be in the future.
