Apple's new Retina Display Macbook Pro

At this year's WWDC, Apple unveiled a new MacBook Pro that wowed everyone with a new Retina display on the Apple laptop. The new Retina display on the MacBook Pro has a shocking 220ppi (pixels per inch) screen. The Retina display MacBook Pro only comes in a 15 inch screen size, not in 13 inch or 17 inch sizes. Large laptop lovers will weep from the fact that Apple also removed the 17 inch MacBook Pro from its line. This is rather strange, because Apple was one of the first companies with a 17 inch laptop. Another change to the MacBook Pro is that the new Retina display MacBook Pro is that it is now even thinner with a 0.71 inch thickness. This thinness was partly made possible from the removal of the optical slot-loading disk drive. The removal of the disc drive may bring some problems to people who like to use DVD's or to play games that are on discs.

The ports on the new MacBook Pro are very plentiful. The new MacBookPro has an SD card reader, full size HDMI port, two USB 3.0 ports, two Thunderbolt porvts, a headphone jack, and a new MagSafe 2 power connector. Apple's new MacBook connector is wider and thinner than the previous MagSWith Retina afe connector to accomodate the new MacBook's thinner profile. This new cable will not be compatible with the old MacBook MagSafe cables on the older Macs. The negative fact about the new Retina Display MacBook Pro is that it is very expensive, even for a MacBook. The base version of the Retina Display MacBook Pro is $2,199.00 which is double the price of some of the latest Windows Ultrabooks like the Asus Zenbook or the HP Envy 14 Spectre.

Review: The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water

It's 7:15 at night. The sun has been below the horizon for quite some time, but it is not yet my bedtime. I go to the cashier and ask her if they are showing my movie. She gives me a puzzled look, checks the queue, and luckily finds the tickets I am looking for. After asking my age she assures me that I have nothing to be ashamed about, nothing to fear. I then pass through the doors and embark on a journey I have been waiting for more than a decade to begin. Back in 2004 Nickelodeon, Stephen Hillenburg, & company released the very first feature film of the SpongeBob Squarepants franchise: The SpongeBob Squarepants Movie . The cartoon had been around for less than five years at the time, and many people did not expect much from its box office release. However, it did do very well for a television cartoon movie grossing more than $32 million opening weekend and receiving average scores of 66/100. This might sound mediocre compared to Oscar winning films, but this is incredib

Qualcomm debuts Snapdragon S4 Pro APQ8064 processor

Earlier today, Qualcomm unveiled their new Snapdragon S4 Pro APQ8064 processor on their developer tablet in San Francisco. This processor is the successor to the S4 processor that we see on many of today's flagship mobile devices (ex. HTC One X, American Samsung Galaxy S III's, HTC One S, Motorola Atrix HD, etc.), and is one of the greatest mobile chipsets on the market. Based on the scores we have seen from Engadget , this new processor seems amazingly fast. This new processor blows away the competition and beats every other mobile device you could imagine in every single benchmark category. This processor is like a Bugatti Veyron drag racing against a Smart Car. We can not explain how much faster this device is compared to the devices that are out right now. This new processor leaves every single top mobile product in the dust. The Snapdragon S4 Pro beats the AT&T HTC One X, all of the Samsung Galaxy S III's, the Nexus 7, the international HTC One X, and probably

Hands-On with the new Macbook: Too Hot

Hot damn. Apple just recently added a new laptop to their lineup. No it is not just an iterative spec update, but rather Apple positions this as the laptop of the future. Well, the future of now. They say your next laptop will be like this, and maybe even the one after that. The company wowed the world with the MacBook Air back in 2008, but can they do it again with the new MacBook? Most of you will hear "MacBook" and a few different laptops will pop into your head. There's the current MacBook Pros, MacBook Air, and then the old black and white plastic MacBooks that were discontinued in 2011. The 2015 MacBook is an entirely new beast. Apple is not pushing the boundaries on what a laptop is supposed to be, but they are pushing the limits in many other areas. The new MacBook comes in three colors: space grey, silver, and gold. The space grey looks exactly like the space grey on the iPhone, and the silver model is identical to the MacBook Air. But if you pick
