Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore—
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.
“’Tis some visitor,” I muttered, “tapping at my chamber door—
Only this and nothing more.”

 

BUT IT WASN”T *

Hey Siri… You so silly! Wednesday edition.

Siri is awesome and knows everything, right? Except when verrry sometimes she doesn’t, and it’s either stupidly frustrating or stupidly funny…

 

Like this, for instance:

Or this:

You know it!

 

So do Apple. Apple began accepting pre-orders for the device this past Monday, but if you aren’t a pre-order type of guy or gal, then you might wanna listen up. This coming Friday October 30, you’ll be able to pick up your very own shiny device at an Apple retail store.

 

Sweet.

 

 

This hasn’t been totally confirmed as of yet however it seems very very likely.

 

If you are a pre-order type of humanoid, and you like your one day shipping, then you can be getting ready to smile all day at your shiny new device on Friday too!

 

If you pre-ordered through Best Buy, you can pick up your device in-store come November 4th.

 

The new Apple TV is available in 32Gb for $149 and 64GB for $199.

Are you a Basketball fan? Have a Samsung Gear VR Headset? THIS IS FOR YOU!

PF48OHZFI4

 

We’re talking BASKETBALL! The Warrior’s season opener begins tonight at 7:30PM PST, with last year’s CHAMPIONS Golden State Warriors gearing up to play the Pelicans at Oracle Arena.

 

If you’re unable to get to the game, but are still super excited to watch, AND you have access to a Samsung Gear VR headset – we have some really exciting news for you. Partnering with Turner Sports and NextVR, the NBA will be live-streaming tonight’s season opener in virtual reality. WHAT.

 

With camera’s positioned strategically around the arena capturing all the live action in real time, you can pretend you’re right there courtside all while sitting in the comfort of your living room.

 

 

To quote Mr. Macklemore – Oooh, it’s too real!

 

 

The Sacramento Kings have already been in the VR Basketball game (so to speak), streaming two pre-season games, but this will be the first live professional sports game readily available to fans in VR.

 

 

Access to the game in Virtual Reality will be through the NextVR app that you can get through Oculus Home. They’ve developed what they call a “lens-to-lens system” for capturing the VR in broadcast quality. If you already have the app, make sure you update it before the game.

 

 

Also, watch out for The Kings on Wednesday who are also scheduled to stream their own season opener live in VR.

 

 

If you don’t have the Samsung Gear VR, don’t be too dismayed. The Kings are working with VR technology company Voke to make their stream platform available on any VR platform, not just GearVR. You can get Google Cardboard helllla cheap! 

 

 

Here’s to only watching sports courtside or virtually courtside from now on!

 

New Apple videos!

Happy Tuesday! Guess what? It’s not Monday anymore! Here’s some Apple videos to celebrate AND procrastinate with. We’re so helpful.

 

iPhone 6S Crush. ‘Hey Siri’- starring everyone’s favorite Foxx… Jamie.

 

 

 

 

 

iPhone 6s 3D Touch

 

 

 

 

iPhone 6s – The Camera.

 

 

 

 

And our favorite – iPhone 6s – Half Court starring a half-court shot made by Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry. Aahhhhh!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

IBM giving employees Apple Watches?

exclamation mark

 

IBM is planning on providing it’s employees with FREE or discounted Apple Watch models! Whaaat. Yup, it seems that IBM are incorporating the Device into it’s ‘Commit to Health’ initiative, which will mean that employees will receive the devices under their health insurance plans.

 

The employees can either choose to get a subsidy that covers the full cost of the device or they can purchase it at a discounted price, and IBM then hopes that they will take advantage of the health features of the watch. Healthy workers are hard workers! IBM previously had a similar program with Fitbit, however it is currently unclear if the Apple Watch program is replacing this or supplementing it.

 

Lots of Apple Watch users have raved about the health benefits of the device since it’s release, so it’s possible that IBM is one of many companies who will be encouraging their employees to use the Watch in the future.

 

 

 

Steve Jobs the movie

1409219258_support-px-png

 

This last weekend was the 1st (and, some in Hollywoodland might say, the most important) full weekend that Danny Boyle’s Steve Jobs movie was in theaters nationally.

 

So what’s the wotwot?  Well, it’s not great. It’s not bad, either, with the film getting predominantly positive reviews from those supposedly in the know- critics and those folk. BUT the people who pay the monies- that’s you guys – were perhaps not in a very Steve Jobs mood over the weekend, with the disappointing box office being the proof in the pudding.

 

Early box office results show that the film is estimated to take about $7.3 million from about 2,500 theaters, placing it in 7th place for the weekend.

 

The expected take was more in the teens, but the movie is doing spectacularly well on the coasts and is also expected to do well over the long haul through awards season.

 

“We’re going to redouble our efforts to support these markets,” said Universal domestic distribution chief Nic Carpou. “It’s working great in these theaters now, and we want to make sure it continues to do so.”

 

We were not one of those boosting the box office sales over the weekend, but we will be giving you a review of the movie in the coming days!
