Apple Keynote 2013 = Mind Blown

Tech behemoth Apple unveiled a slew of technologies and upgrades that will keep the most loyal of Apple customers happy and make believers out of skeptics. What on the surface seems like a typical keynote address gave insight into the deep comittment to design excellence and technological innovation. Apple has reinforced its superiority in hardware and software integration and demonstrated once more how simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.

With their advanced supply chain Apple announced for immediate shipping the new iPad Air with 64bit infrastructure and upgraded MacBook Pro as well as the iLife suite & OS X Maverick both of which are available free. The last part about it being free will probably not sink in until other Software companies have no choice but to follow. The Mac Pro will be out in December 2013 and promises to be the most advance Apple product yet.

Google Glass Apps Race

As Google glass gathers momentum (try saying that 10 times fast), the app developers have been trying to develop apps that will match the hardware's mobility. One such app is race yourself, which is currently going through the rounds of crowd funding .The app allows the user to see how well they are doing versus themselves from previous attempts at running/walking/cycling/driving the same route.

Looks quite intuitive and should appeal to your inner competitor when launched.
