Speak like Jobs

speaklikejobs 20080129 203430 Speak like JobsFor anyone who watched both the Bill Gates’ CES Keynote Address and Steve Jobs’ Macworld Keynote Address, one simple conclusion is blatantly obvious: Steve Jobs is a much better public speaker than Bill Gates. To adapt Jobs’ quote on the thinness of the MacBook Air and apply it to a comparison of these two speeches, Jobs’ keynote was less awkward at its worst than Bill Gates’ keynote was at its best.

Carmine Gallo of Business Week has posted an informative article entitled Deliver a Presentation like Steve Jobs where he has analyzed Jobs’ latest keynote and learned 10 key points that he explains so that you, too, can speak like Jobs.

Bird-Electron EZ-18B iPod touch speaker stand

f birdelectron ez18b 20080122 203306 Bird Electron EZ 18B iPod touch speaker standI don’t know if this is particularly new, but it caught my eye and, if I actually had an iPod touch, I’d be inclined to buy one.

The Bird-Electron EZ-18B iPod touch speaker stand is made out of heavy duty steel and comes with a silicon pad that protects the iPod touch from scratches while also keeping it from sliding off the stand. It’s a plug-and-play stand with a built in speaker that holds the iPod touch at a 45 degree angle and looks like it means business.

The Bird-Electron EZ-18B iPod touch speaker stand sells for USD$79.99

iPod Hi-Fi is quietly taken away

ipodhifi 20070906 050104 iPod Hi Fi is quietly taken awayThe vast ecosystem of over 4,000 accessories made specifically for the iPod saw one extinction yesterday as Apple quietly removed the iPod Hi-Fi from its online store. The product can still be viewed from its page on Apple’s main site ad remains in the Accessories section of the iPod product matrix but give you the old “Sorry… The item you have selected is currently not available from the Apple Store.” when you try to buy the USD$349 speaker system.

Is the iPod Hi-Fi gone for good? Or is a revision in the works? It certainly was fun to make fun of.
