Dell vs. Apple: 10 Years Later
I’ve used both Apple and Dell. As a consumer, I’d go with a Mac (simplicity sells). On the corporate side, I’d go with a Dell (Apple isn’t as seriously focused as PCs when it comes to business applications).

iPhone Coming to Canada via Rogers
At CAD $799, this is obviously over-priced. Apple’s got to be kidding eh? This is exactly what happens when there’s little competition on the market.
And finally, Google acquires Jaiku
But why not Twitter?

Top of the tech news this week
1. Halo 3 pocketed $170M in 24 hours
I still refuse to play halo! Send me an XBOX360 + a 50″ LCD TV and I’ll think about it.
News source
That also makes me wonder, what the hell is Blizzard doing? Where is Starcraft 2? I thought I heard a Marine say “Hell, it’s about time!”. Different timezone perhaps? Argh!
2. New Palm Centro becomes a reality
This baby will sell on the streets on October 14 for $99. Palm struggles to impress with a good-priced smart phone, and almost everyone is getting an iPhone for $300 more.

3. Exploding Chocolate bar, spy gadget of WWII
Yes! Oh no. Don’t you dare eat this yummy bar. Unless you want to see your maker.

4. HP Blackbirds up for grabs at Wikia
Wikia is giving away HP Blackbirds, head over at Wikia.com for details.

5. Buy a Laptop for a Child, Get Another Laptop Free
Perfect holiday gift for your kid and another in-need kid. I should say that this is a better gift than Halo 3. Oh wait, did I just say that?

iCache is the future of wallets. No more credit cards, debit cards, loyalty cards, health card, parking card, and many more in the near future. Near future maybe sooner. Like 2009.
This small gadget mimic all your cards, secures them and gives you one thing money can’t buy - peace of mind.
Here’s how it works:
- users register their cards on iCache website, then loads it into your iCache gadget
- when you want to use it (pay for something), you activate iCache with your fingerprint with its built-in biometric reader
- use the interface to scroll to the list of cards you have registered
- choose one and caching! a iCache plastic card pops-out loaded with a one-time use of your chosen card
- pop-it back and the card data is gone
Can’t wait to have it!

Yup, that’s what Steve Jobs called it. 
“Games. More storage, and a full metal design. We’re introducing a new nano here today… let me show it to you.” It’s the fatty!
iPods now have WiFi, Safari and touch functionality. Did Apple just opened up the world to 3rd party applications for the iPod?
More coverage here.

UPDATE: Don’t you just love it when you see this yellow post-it on Apple Store?
It just means one thing. New products. 
And… here they are… the new iPods.

I guess you already know that the PS3 (60GB) is now only $549.99 in Canada. Well, the PlayStation team is here promoting it further! See the pictures below…
The game console war continues… So, which one are you getting? PS3 or still… XBOX 360?

The new iMacs are now made from aluminum and glass (scratch resistant) just like the Mac Book Pros. And they come with glossy displays.
Also, iMacs will now only be in 2 sizes (20″ and 24″ inch displays), making the 17″ obsolete as well as the combo-drive (aww!). With it, they are also shipping with the new 0.33″ cool keyboard, so thin you think you are using a laptop.
New versions of iLife ‘08, iMovie, iWeb, .mac, Magic GarageBand, iWork and iPhoto also out. A new product for iWork, “Numbers” was also introduced as a competitor for Microsoft Excel.
iLife ships with the all new iMacs free.
Photos and more coverage here.
