Wide Open Spaces
Tuesday, March 23rd, 2010
Good morning, and many salutations! A few exciting things happening around these parts. First, the Kansas State Wildcats are making their first Sweet 16 appearance since 1988. Huzzah. Things are a little bitter around here since iResQ is fully stocked with KU and Mizzou fans. More importantly- iResQ is now offering 1TB hard drive upgrades for the aluminum UniBody MacBook and UniBody MacBook Pro. If you’ve been syphoning off your movies and music to external drives or burning all your documents to DVDs, worry no longer. Now you can have your space and eat it to, so to speak. Check it out:
Dang, that’s a lot of space. And if you’re running Snow Leopard, it will actually read as 1000GB, unlike previous operating systems that assumed 1MB = 1024KB. Remember when it was unfathomable that anyone would use a whole gigabyte of storage? When I was nine my dad brought our first PC home and I was astounded at the 40MB of memory and the 133MHz processor. And with that processing force I played Pong and Number Munchers for hours. Wow.
Still anxiously awaiting the delivery of your iPad? Try this to pass the time- whenever you send an email to a friend or coworker, sign it “Sent from my iPad.” I’ve had a few of my friends start raving jealously, which is always fun. Patience, Apple fans. It’s almost here.
The wait is over.

Happy Monday morning, friends! Why should it be happy, you ask? Well, I’ll tell you. The over-the-weekend reviews of Mac OS 10.6, while fewer than past iterations, are overwhelmingly positive! Users who waited in Apple store lines for Snow Leopard seemed to be thrilled with the new features, especially for a mere twenty-nine American dollars. And for that you get a more streamline OS, visual and practical improvements to apps like Safari and Quicktime, and a whole gaggle of new toys you developer-types are going to love.
In sadder news, The Kansas City Chiefs. That’s it. We Chiefs fans were excited about the prospect of a Herm-free Carl-free season, but it looks like our joy might be short-lived. With an offensive line that apparently has no concern for the safety of our QBs, a starting QB who’s injury is keeping him from starting, and now a fired offensive coordinator, I’m not sure if this season looks any brighter than last year’s two and fourteen debacle. But there’s always hope. In fact, with so much Change, I think there’s more Hope than ever, so I’m going to go ahead and declare that the official slogan of this season’s team. Seems like that worked somewhere before.
For you students out there, welcome back to another semester. Remember iResQ is here to meet all your MacBook, MacBook Pro, iPod and iPhone repair needs. Have a great week, and get ready for next week when the NFL season is full on. Pow.
P.S. I think I may have established a record for most hyphenated words in a single blog post. I’ll look into it post-haste.
Happy Snow Leopard Day!

Today is the day! Many people all over the US are installing their Snow Leopard today. It will be interesting to see the general public’s reaction over the next few days. We’ll let you know once we have formed our own opinion.
On a much more somber note, R.I.P. Reading Rainbow. Today’s the last day that a new episode will ever be aired, according to this article. Thanks Reading Rainbow!
Have a great weekend!
Snow Leopard and Football Season are Almost Here!
Tuesday, August 25th, 2009
There’s a lot of stuff going on right now at iResQ – among those things:
1) Snow Leopard comes out Friday
2) The Chiefs have played 2 preseason games
3) College football starts in about a week and a half (Sept. 5 for me)
4) iResQ has a new featured employee
Jumping right in…
Snow Leopard! – That’s right, it comes out this Friday the 28th of August. You can bet that most of the employees here (myslef included) are currently making backups and preparing for the upgrade. Personally, I’ll take it slow and only put it on one computer for now as there are usually some inconvenient bugs in the newly released versions. Also, since iResQ is a member of the ACN (Apple Consultants Network), we’ll be getting a free copy sometime very soon. Thanks Apple!
Chiefs football – OK, so we’ve seen two games under the new regime of Scott Pioli and coach Todd Haley. I am not weighing too heavily on the preseason games because I know the transition from terrible to playoffs will take at least a couple of years. It sounds like Haley is running a tight ship and does not tolerate people who aren’t there to work and do thier jobs — I like the concept; let’s see how it plays out over this season.
College football – It’s no secret around the office that I am a Missouri Tiger fan. I went to college there and even though I live and work in Kansas, I will always be a Tiger fan. We do have at least one other Tiger fan in the office (the infamous Keith), but I won’t go into too much detail on the Tigers. Let’s just hope they continue to dominate (yep I said it) the big 12 North.
Nic Besel is our new iResQ featured employee – and you can click on that link to check out his profile that was posted yesterday.
No new coupons to give out today, but you can still scroll down and check out Mick’s last post if you want to save some cash this summer. Back to work for me, that’s all for now!
It’s like Leopard, but you can use it in the Snow.

Bzzzzzzzzzzzzz. What’s that? Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. What’s that buzzing? Could it be? Yes, it’s the Apple rumor mills. I know, I know. Really lame. Sorry. But as we’re drawing closer to the September event in San Francisco, software and hardware rumors, predictions, and wild stabbing guesses are flying about the Apple universe, and I can’t help but buy in a little. So what are the internets saying? Most of you have probably seen the “leaked” images of the Snow Leopard packaging, but if you haven’t, you take a look and decide if it’s real or fake. Only two bits a gander:
So what else is Steve or the to-be-named replacement going to share with us? Well, apparently a fair amount about iPods and iTunes. It’s about time for the iPod Classic to get a makeover and the iPod Touch has a lot of firmware update potential in the wake of the last iPhone 3G and 3Gs improvements. We’ll see. I haven’t heard anything about new Portables, but it’s been sounding like the iMac is going to look more like the Cinema Display, which already looks more like the Unibody MacBook and MacBook Pro. Sleeker, more compact, overall awesomer.
And yes, of course, the Apple Tablet. As is tradition, Apple is tight-lipped about development, and it looks like we’ll have to wait another three months before a formal announcement. But hopefully we’ll get some answers about Snow Leopard’s “fine tuned”-ness. Get excited friends, and check back with the blogs for August’s coupon. Chumbawamba.
