We got both intros after break the check it out.

Introduction

“…a modern and unique carrying solution for your MacBook Pro 13 or MacBook Air 13.” When I first caught a glimpse of the Acme Made Clutch, I thought of the same exact word to describe it, “modern”. Although I have to admit, from the Acme Made website product catalog section, I thought it was all leather at first. Apparently, no, instead it‘s a “unique” designer-coated canvas exterior. OK, so they’re pretty much spot-on on how they’ve labeled this item. But the question is, are these qualities enough to make a sell? Or form and function weighs more in the balance? I suggest you read on to find out what we have to say.

Apple, Amazon, or Google: Whose Cloud Should You Be In?

The release of Apple’s iCloud has had every music lover captivated since June. The very thought of being able to sync up your iPod and iTunes to a cloud in which you would have access to a countless number of songs had many quickly signing up.
Apple has always done well to create extreme brand loyalists, and those who were overly excited about iCloud were just as eager to get their hands on the latest iPhone, iPad, and iPod. However, what many are forgetting is that there are two other cloud hosting companies that are offering equally competitive cloud services: Amazon and Google.
Before you are quick to sign up for iCloud, review the following pros and cons of each cloud server. You may be surprised to find that Apple is not the right option for you:
Apple’s iCloud
The neatest thing about iCloud, is that you don’t have to wait around for all your music to download into the cloud. Apple quickly scans through your iTunes, makes sure that you own the songs, and then voila! your songs are in the cloud and ready to use. Apple is also entering into contracts with big time record companies to provide users with a better iTunes and music experience.
The iCloud does have one big flaw, however. But this flaw is indicative of most Apple products: iCloud will only play iTunes either from iTunes or off an iOS device. You can’t play anything from a web browser. So if you like the idea of the iCloud, but aren’t an Apple enthusiast, you will have some syncing issues.
Amazon’s Cloud Player
Cloud Player is ideal for those who want to do one thing and one thing only with their music collection: store their files elsewhere. Storing multiple music files on your computer can really slow it down and quickly deplete memory, and with Cloud Player, you can free up computer space by storing all your music files elsewhere. Amazon does have an outstanding collection of music though – only a little behind iTunes – and your songs can be played from any browser or device. It’s also free which is nice when considering iCloud’s $24.99 annual fee.
The biggest downside to Amazon’s cloud is that you literally have to wait for all your music to upload. If you have a larger music collection, this could take many hours, if not days.
Google’s Music Beta
Out of the three clouds, Music Beta offers the least to its customers. While the service is free and allows users to store up to 20,000 songs, it doesn’t offer much else. Users can’t purchase any music through Music Beta. Unlike Amazon and Apple, Google’s product also won’t let users store anything other than music.
The big decision really comes down between Amazon and Apple. Although Google gave a valiant effort, its cloud services are better served for other spectrums such as GoogleDocs, not music. The big deciding factor for anyone interested in a cloud music service will truly come down to your interest in Android or Apple. If you find yourself gravitating towards Android, then go for Amazon. But if you own nothing but Apple, then by all means purchase the iCloud.

Apple Files Suit Against Samsung

Survey software companies have long been polling smart phone users to see which company will soon take the lead in the industry, and it seems as though the results have Apple grasping at straws. Where the battle for first used to be between Apple and all Android based smart phones, it is now more between Android phones themselves – in particular, HTC and Samsung.
apple-vs-samsung
Although Apple has yet to verbalize its concerns, its recent patent application and lawsuits suggest that the company may be concerned that it will no longer dominate the market. When Samsung released its Galaxy S2 smart phone, many consumers and tech gurus alike were suggesting that the phone was the best on the market. The phone received so much attention that it actually shifted the way in which many viewed Android phones verses Apple iPhones.
However, Apple didn’t share the same enthusiasm. In fact, they accused Samsung of copying the iPhone and iPad’s touchscreen interface – in particular the photo gallery, and immediately filed suit. While many weren’t too surprised by Apple’s lawsuit, as many believed that it would only be a matter of time before the mobile device wars began, they were surprised by how aggressive Apple pursued Samsung. So far, the company has effectively secured bans on Samsung Galaxy products in Germany, the UK, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Ireland, and Sweden. Even more shocking are the allegations that Apple altered a few photos of the Samsung Galaxy S2 to provide stronger evidence in its case.
Samsung, however, has been remarkably cavalier throughout the lawsuits and accusations believing the suit filed by Apple to be a form of flattery. If Apple is so concerned about Samsung that it has to file a lawsuit against the company, then Samsung believes it must be doing something right. If Samsung’s S series smart phones and Galaxy tablets hadn’t been so superb, and provided such excellent touch screen interfaces, then Apple would have hardly considered taking action against them.
While Galaxy devices are still for sale in the U.S., they will continue to stay off the market in much of Europe until the law suit reaches a verdict. Smartphone and tablet enthusiasts should note though, that this won’t be the last lawsuit that Apple and other big brands vying for top market positions will file. As the market continues to grow, we are sure to see a full blown smart phone war in the future.
