Time names Nike + iPod Sports kit 'Gadget of the Week'

by Scott McNulty (RSS feed) on Jul 20th, 2006

That's right, Apple loving Time has named the Nike + iPod Sports Kit their 'Gadget of the Week.' Calling it the 'most elegant of high-tech runner's aids' Time sings the praises of the system, though it does note that while the $29 cost seems cheap you do need an iPod nano plus the special Nike shoes (which we know isn't true).

The Nike + iPod Sports Kit has been out for a little while now, what do folks think about it?

Time Magazine's love affair with Apple continues

by Dave Caolo (RSS feed) on Jun 9th, 2006

There are some serious Mac-heads at Time Magazine. The MacBook is their current "Gadget of the Week," and author Wilson Rothman had this to say in his article:

"You get a computer that runs both Mac OS X and Windows XP today, and even appears to meet the minimum requirements for Vista once it gets here. Dell and HP should be very worried indeed."

For those of you who complain about the integrated video ram, remember: This is the entry level machine, and will do the things most people are after (internet, mail, music, photos, etc.) very well. It should be a big seller.

MacBook Pro is Time's Gadget of the Week

by Dave Caolo (RSS feed) on Mar 6th, 2006

Time Magazine's love affair with Apple continues (Tiger was Gadget of the Week, iPod shuffle was Gadget of the Week, G5 iMac was Gadget of the Week, Intel iMac was Gadget of the Week, Steve in Time's Top 100) as they name the MacBook Pro the Gadget of the Week. Wilson Rothman writes:

"It's easy to talk specs and features, but the MacBook's strengths come to light while in use...It's not easy to watch the highest-definition QuickTime movie trailers on a G4 PowerBook, and on many Centrino-based Windows notebooks, it can look pretty choppy, too. But on the MacBook Pro, 1080p movie trailers are smooth running."

For some odd reason, however, there's still a little voice in my head telling me to wait on purchasing one of these things. Or maybe it's my Powerbook sending me subliminal messages.

Thanks, Pieter!

Intel iMac is Time's Gadget of the Week

by Dave Caolo (RSS feed) on Jan 20th, 2006

Back in November, Time Magazine chose the G5 iMac as their Gadget of the Week. Today, the Intel-powered iMac has received the same recognition. From the article:

"The first thing you notice about Apple's new iMac — running the Intel Core Duo chipset rather than an older PowerPC chip — is that it's almost identical to the iMac that the company introduced in October. The second thing you notice, though, is that it is noticeably faster. It only takes around 30 seconds to restart the entire system."

Makes you want to run out and buy one, doesn't it? Time seems to have a sort of love affair with Apple, having put Steve Jobs on the cover a few times. It's a short article, but worth reading.
