This step-by-step guide will show you how to change your iTunes icon on a Mac computer and provide you with a number of new iTunes icons to choose from.

During an Apple product release conference in September of 2010, Steve Jobs noted that iTunes was represented by a depreciating music medium – a CD. As a result of a changing music marketplace lead in majority by Apple, the iTunes icon has changed to a familiar music note backed by a starburst gradient blue, glossy background.

RIM BlackPad Vs Apple iPad

Posted on 09. Aug, 2010 by Rob Brown in Business, Entertainment, Marketing, News

RIM is whispering rumors of their upcoming iPad competitor the BlackPad. What are the BlackPad specs? How will the BlackPad work? Is the BlackPad better then the iPad? This article reviews RIM’s BlackPad to compare it against Apple’s iPad in terms of media, messaging and where I think the real battle field is, in education.

Almost at the exact moment Apple released the iPad, people have been speculating what competing smartphone maker Research In Motion would do to match Apple’s touch screen tablet efforts. In the face of less than spectacular reviews for RIM’s new Blackberry Torch (next generation BlackBerry), detailed rumors of RIM’s tablet device have started to surface.

Blackpad Specs:

9.7″ Display

Bluetooth

WiFi

Front and Rear Facing Cameras

2 Million units in production starting September 2010

Expected to launch in November of 2010

8 Million units in production throughout 2011

Sources: Bloomberg, AppleDaily, Engadget.

Blackberry 6 and the BlackPad:

Updated news of RIM’s tablet follows closely with another large announcement from RIM about the operating system that will powers all of it’s new devices. Blackberry 6 improves access to music and movies with a coverflow like interface, uses tabs similar to HTC devices, integrates contacts with social network updates, uses a better webkit based web browser, and provisions for true multi-touch screen interfaces. Below is a video demo from RIM showing these new features.

This is an exceptionally well done animation short. The music is as well conceived as the story. Really, it’s a must watch.

How To Make a Bagheera Cocktail | Rob Brown

Wed, 11 Aug 2010 07:50:29 -0700

Officially served for the first time at Stella McCartney’s September Fashion show in 2009, this drink was said to have over shadowed the event itself. Often, liquor producers enlist the help of talented mixoligists and bartenders to create new and interesting drinks that help highlight and market their new products. Created by Snow Leopard Vodka to compliment their “ethical” Vodka, Snow Leopard creates small batches of Vodka in the historic Polmos Lublin distillery in Poland. In addition to creating an exceptional drink to highlight the subtle tones of their Vodka, Snow Leopard donates 15% of their profits to the Snow Leopard Trust. This charity helps to increase the awareness of endangered Snow Leopards (the animals) and help safeguard their future. I like mixing my liquor with altruistic endeavours so this works out really well.

This isn’t to say that you must use Snow Leopard Vodka. But, remember that good quality Vodka has unique characteristics that are significantly highlighted when mixed.
