Real Kato Blog: 2010 June

I'm behind on reporting about some Apple events.

Apple released iOS 4 as a free upgrade for the iPhone and iPod Touch yesterday. I won't go through all the new features; Rene Ritchie has posted a thorough walkthrough. (HT: Daring Fireball)

Apple came out with a new Mac mini last week. It's about half the height of the previous model, but a little bit wider and deeper. Impressively, it now includes the GeForce 320M GPU for greatly improved graphics performance. The bummer is that the starting price is now $699, which is starting to move it out of the "entry-level" category.

Apple announced today that iPad sales have topped 3 million. The funny thing is that a week ago, Forrester Research projected that industry-wide tablet sales for the year would be 3.5 million. They might need to revise that figure somewhat.

Apple stock is currently at $274.85. The stock was boosted last week by news of 600,000 iPhone 4 pre-orders in one day; today it jumped again on the iPad sales numbers.

"Beef steak, red & green peppers, onions & cheddar cheese sauce on sourdough bread". I'm sure Philadelphia residents would have a good laugh about the "Philly-Style" claim.

Last Fortnight's Frozen Meal: Lean Cuisine Alfredo Pasta with Chicken and Broccoli

Tuesday, 2010 June 8 - 1:00 pm

"Grilled white meat chicken, broccoli & pasta in a creamy alfredo sauce". If you thought there were only a finite number of ways to combine chicken, pasta, a green vegetable, and cream sauce, apparently you'd be mistaken.
