Back from the holiday blog haitus.
Recently, a friend of mine got a new Macbook. I commended him and said “Welcome to the cult!” I don’t know where that came from, but as soon as I said that, I suddenly realized that since I got my first Apple product — a first generation Mac Mini — 2 years ago, I started to have a religion-like-cult experience:
* I started to join bloggers in their Windows-bashing crusade
* Buying products from our own — “iPod is definitely a priority over other MP3 players”
* I always crave for that newly released Apple product.
* I read Apple themed blogs, I discuss with the Apple based communities.
* Lastly, and certainly not the least, I started to think that my Mac is always right.
If I’m heading towards destruction, I need to be saved!

Google is out to dominate your entire online life. First, they converged instant messaging with your email by integrating Gtalk inside your Gmail. Now, AIM can be seen on Gmail/Gtalk too! Since Yahoo is more popular here in the Philippines, I’m hoping that Yahoo IM is on it’s way.

Not yet available here in the Philippines, but Amazon Kindle looks very promising. Imagine iPod. You bring your whole CD library where ever you go. Now, covert the thought to your books. Amazon Kindle digitalizes the books — actually, books that you buy at Amazon.com, leading newspapers and even blogs. Download these digital materials through a fast wireless connection. Very good for travelers looking for a quick read while on the road.
I wonder if this will be available locally.

Christmas is the season when it is legitimate to dream about having stuff that you know you might not be able to get — yet. So here’s my simple Christmas tech gadget wishlist.
* iPod Touch 16GB
* iMac
* Nikon D40
What’s yours?
