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.

A New Leaf

Hello everybody; it's been a while. With school, work, and my extracurricular activities, I haven't had as much time as I would have wanted to spend writing. In the two years since I've last posted, I was vice president, president, and varsity captain for my high school's Academic Decathlon team, went to the California state Academic Decathlon competition twice, was a student commissioner for my city's Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission, a speech coach for Chinese students learning English, earned my Eagle Scout rank, and was accepted into my dream school, the University of California San Diego. With that in mind, I'm also about to graduate high school. I wasn't the speaker that my high school teachers were looking for as graduation speaker, but I thought it would be remiss if I did not say anything. My original speech would seem a bit out of context as an article, so this is a slightly abridged version. "Throughout my high school career, this...

Hands-on with the Nokia Lumia 1020.

Smartphone cameras have drastically changed in the past few years. Most smartphone cameras have improved so much that most people use their smartphone as their main camera. Some companies have decided to make  cameras with fewer megapixels and better sensors , while most smartphone manufactures have improved their cameras by adding more megapixels. Nokia is one of these people and they have proven it even more with their latest smartphone, the Nokia Lumia 1020. Look and Feel Nokia's Lumia line of handsets has some of the most unique hardware on the market.

The Lumia 1020 does not stray too far away from its siblings. The 1020 comes in three gorgeous colors; matte white, black, and yellow. We ...

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...
