New stuff, new stuff, la la la la new stuff.

I know, I know, my song writing is brilliant. But it’s easy when your muse is new iPods and Apple TVs. It’s been nearly a week since Steve Jobs’ keynote speech, but let’s take a gander back at the new toys. Let’s start smaller. Tiny in fact. With the only iPod that Apple actually made bigger than its predecessor, but for good reason. The Fourth Generation iPod Shuffle (NOW WITH BUTTONS!) is a vast improvement over the Third Generation, and only a slight improvement over the Second. In fact, it’s basically the Second Generation again, with about an eighth of an inch shaved off and a playlist feature, plus it went back to the $49 price point. So woo hoo, the Shuffle is good again. Next, the iPod Nano, which is a completely different Nano altogether. Basically a smaller iPod Touch, the Multi-Touch capable Nano is certainly the best Nano yet; smaller, but with a larger screen and more storage, hooray. Now we’re just waiting to overhear people calling it the iTouch Nano.

And speaking of the iTouch, er, iPod Touch, it keeps getting better. Retina display, FaceTime, and 3G capability? It’s basically an iPhone. As long as you don’t mind using Skype to make all your calls. With a free iBooks download and the new performance improvements, it’s hard to believe the 64GB is only $399 (especially because I paid $499 for my 32GB Gen 1 just a few years ago. Phooey). That’s the way of technology I suppose.

Now the biggest overhaul yet comes in the form of the Apple TV. This time around Apple actually made a device that you’ll want to use, instead just an expensive external drive for your iTunes and iPhoto Media. For just $99 you have 802.11n streaming of every video you could possibly want to download from the interweb. And it fits in the palm of your hand. Unless you have an abnormally small hand.

So that’s the news. In other news, the NFL is on for real starting this Thursday with one of the most anticipated season openers in recent memory. Saints vs. Vikings in the rematch of last year’s NFC Championship. Then there’s Packers vs. Eagles this weekend and Jets vs. Ravens and our beloved Chiefs vs. Chargers Monday night. What a weekend, huh? Well good luck, football fans. I hope all your teams win. Except you, San Diego.
It’s About Time.

Hello my blogofriends. Lots of exciting things happening around these parts in the sporting world. The Chiefs officially have one of the greatest pairs of Offensive/Defensive Coordinators in the history of the league since adding Romeo Crennel to the staff already improved by the signing of Charlie Weis. I’m not saying there’s another Patriots-esque dynasty coming, but it’s good news for those of us that haven’t had good news in a few years. Also, the ninth-ranked Wildcats of Kansas State took down the previously unbeaten Longhorns last night. Pow.
But onto Apple matters, it’s been as busy as ever as we turned the corner into 2010 here at iResQ. Just last week we repaired more MacBooks, MacBook Pros, MacBook Airs and Mac Minis than any week previous. And in the middle of ice and snow and an uncharacteristic six-day fog covering the whole city. Spooky. Thanks to everyone who gave us the privilege of working on your Apple notebooks, iPods and iPhones, and keep us bookmarked in case disaster strikes. Check last week’s post for a coupon code good until February 1st, and have a great week!
Happy Mashed Potato Day!

And turkey, and stuffing, and gravy, and cranberries and pie as well. God Bless America, everybody. Who else would dedicate an entire day to football and food stuffed with other food all in the name of nationwide appreciation? I do not lie when I say that the other 364 days for me are just preparation for and anticipation of this, the greatest of all holidays. I hope you share my enthusiasm this week.
But I’m excited for more than just one reason; I think I am the only person in America that predicted a Chiefs victory over the defending champion Steelers. So eat it, Pittsburgh. Just kidding- I’m actually a big fan of your program. But I’m also a fan of not giving up and of fighting through bitter overtime in the face of all adversity and of making clutch third down sacks on a slippery behemoth of a quarterback. And only one team did that Sunday. So huzzah. No, it doesn’t resurrect our season by any means, but it’s progress. So huzzah.
Let’s make it easy to save some money this week, friends. Email the coupon code “Stuffing” to eric@iresq.com with your web confirmation number by this Thursday and I’ll take $10 off your next MacBook, MacBook Pro or MacBook Air repair. And save me some pumpkin pie.
COLEGE

Hey all you out there on the cyberweb. It’s cooling off here in Kansas City and the fall rains are rolling in, but things are still hot in the tech room. Universities are in full swing again, Big XII football is our oasis in the the middle of our precious Chiefs’ desert, and students desperately need their MacBooks and MacBook Pros for, um, work. Not at all for iTunes and FaceBook and downloading Zombieland torrents. Just teasing, students. I kid because I love.
But seriously, we’ve been inundated with repairs shipping to university addresses and that gave me an idea. If you’re a college student with a campus address, email eric@iresq.com your six-digit web confirmation or invoice number and I’ll give you a deal. $10 off a MacBook or MacBook Pro LCD, $20 off an entire display assembly. You’re welcome. Now hurry up and order so you can get back to that “essay.” This offer is only good until October 31. Peace, friends.
Fall = awesome.

Ahoy hoy. Everyone excited that we’re now officially in Fall? Well, you should be. Fall is the greatest season there is, what with the changing leaves and football and trips to the cider mill if you happen to live anywhere near Louisburg, Kansas. At least I can count on two of those three being worthwhile. Our beloved Chiefs are breaking hearts again.
So the iPod Nano video shorts are rolling in, but there are still plenty of discounts to be doled out. Check my last post for more info. And in the meantime, remember that iResQ is here to meet your Apple repair needs, and we have loads of shipping options for any budget. If you have a broken iPod, iPhone, MacBook or MacBook Pro, check out our shipping options and find one that suits you. Have a great rest of the week, everybody.
