Good Afternoon on this chilly December day in New York. This is the newest member of Virtua Computers Inc., Anthony, and I'm updating our blog on two topics: the Grand Central store opening and Apple TV rumors. First off, Apple has opened yet another beautiful store in NYC, it's Grand Central location. I visited the store when it opened to the public on Dec. 9th and there was a mob of people in the 23,000-square-foot store. The store is located in the middle of the terminal and wraps around on the upper floors. Check it out, it's easily the most accessible...

So Steve resigned late last night, and the Apple Board of Directors appointed Tim Cook the CEO. I heard that when Steve texted the board he wrote "I reign as the CEO of Apple", but the iPhone autocorrected it to say "resigned". Ha, just kidding. Tim Cook has already stated "Apple is not going to change". Unfortunately for Tim, the stock price and valuation did change - so he better hurry up and get the iPhone 5 out soon. PS for those who keep asking me when it's coming out, I'll know when you know - but...

Apple closed it's online store this morning with the very famous yellow sticky: And everyone expected it to be back up pretty quick, considering it was a Wednesday. But something terrible happened and the store is not only down with the sticky but down down, as in DEAD! As of 1:40pm - I can't access the store. I hear some other people can't either. Sounds like a bigger issue, or maybe Johnny unplugged the servers:

Ok, since I haven't yet finished justinesgar.com to post my twitter updates, I'm gonna keep posting them here. Today, I got a mix of python and AppleScript to get Nigel (my DLA) to tell me when someone mentions me on Twitter. Only problem now is finding a Twitter application that will trigger the script. Ok first part is the AppleScript. For temporary purposes I'm using the official Twitter app found the App Store:
set whosaid to text of (do shell script "python /Users/YOURUSER/scripts/mentions.py")

So Lion did finally come out last Weds, and while I have purchased a new MacBook Air and a new Mac Mini Server - I have to say I'm in Lion HELL! I've only been using Lion Server, but they moved everything around. Lion Server's price dropped from $499 to $50 because Apple wants to allow anyone to configure a server. They made this new "easy to use" Server application. So you can easily turn on File Sharing or Web - but in order to do the nitty gritty stuff (like DNS or Open Directory) you...

So it's currently 1020am, and more than likely Lion will not be arriving today. Now all the sites are saying "Lion coming Wednesday". What I find funny about this is all these other sites will be like "it's coming tomorrow" and when it doesn't they say "oh not today, tomorrow". They keep doing this until the product is released then they have the audacity to be like "see it came out when we said it would!". HA! If there is anything good in the new by this afternoon I'll do a video, if not….we'll try again...
