Create More Inc., an award-winning San Francisco Apple store, celebrates over ten years in the computer business. Create More Inc. is proud to be an authorized Apple dealer, offering all Apple products including Mac laptops, desktops, iPods, iPads and accessories, as well as computer repair services. It is the best one-stop shop for all Mac products and services at or below retail price.
“We’re often asked about our prices in relation to the 'store' down the street. There is a misconception that as an independent dealer, we 'mark up' our prices. Nothing could be further from the truth and quite frankly, we’re not sure where this concept comes from. Suffice to say, a $1,199 iMac is a $1,199 iMac. The prices on all items in our store of all brands are always at or below retail pricing,” said Alberto Palacios of Create More.
The San Francisco Mac store sells new Apple products and provides support on Mac desktops and laptops - both used and new. The store carries the latest generation of all available Mac products. Their IT support is more convenient than many competitors since they do not require an appointment. Create More's knowledgeable and friendly staff is able to provide customers with the education they need to make informed decisions.

NetroMedia, global CDN and streaming service provider, is proud to announce today the addition of Apple iPad streaming to its suite of online broadcasting services. This new feature was launched as part of the company's Multi-platform strategy, in order to maximize online streaming media coverage.

The encoding profile used to reach Apple's iPad can also be used to serve the iPhone, PC and Mac computers.
Streaming to the iPad (Apple iOS) is done using H.264 video compression with AAC (Main Profile level 3.1) audio via RTSP/RTP. NetroMedia uses packetizing technology to prepare the stream for iPad viewing.

24/7 access to an online self-management streaming portal is included with NetroMedia's services. This is where users manage and provision channels "in the cloud", as well as analyze their project's usage statistics.
Earlier this year NetroMedia announced the transition from bandwidth-based services to a pooled-bandwidth environment across channels.

MacBook Air Macworld Expo 2008 The world's Thinnest Notebook
Macworld Expo takes place from January 15-18th, 2008 in San Francisco, California. MacBook Air users can buy the companion MacBook Air SuperDrive, a compact external drive designed for MacBook Air, for $99. The MacBook Air SuperDrive is powered by MacBook Air's USB port, eliminating the need to carry a separate power adapter. The new MacBook Air will be shipping in two weeks in its base configuration for a suggested retail price of US$1,799. Build-to-order options and accessories include the ability to upgrade to a 1.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor; 64GB solid state drive, MacBook Air SuperDrive, Apple USB Ethernet Adapter, Apple USB Modem, Apple MagSafe Airline Adapter, Apple Remote, and more
Here's Video Presentation of MacBook Air Macworld Expo 2008 a Great Presentation, makes you want to get one!
Sporting a silvery finish, the MacBook Air features a 13.3-inch LED-backlit widescreen display that has a 1280 x 800 pixel resolution. The backlighting saves power and provides "instant on" response from the moment you turn it on, according to Jobs. The device has a slightly wedge-shaped profile. It weighs about 3 pounds, and sports a thickness of 0.16-0.76 inches. It's 12.8 inches wide and 8.95 inches deep.
The MacBook Air also features a built-in iSight webcam and a full sized MacBook-style black keyboard. The keyboard is backlit, similar to MacBook Pros, and has an ambient light sensor that automatically adjusts brightness. The trackpad is also capable of recognizing multi-touch gestures, similar to using an iPhone or iPod touch. As a result, the MacBook Air's trackpad is disproportionately large, compared to the size of trackpads found on the MacBook or MacBook Pro.
The MacBook Air features a 1.8-inch hard disk drive with 80GB of storage capacity standard. A 64GB solid-state disk (SSD) drive is an option. The hard drive is a Parallel ATA (PATA) model that operates at 4200 RPM.
The laptop is powered by an Intel Core 2 Duo chip running at 1.6GHz, with 1.8GHz available as an option. Jobs noted that Intel was willing to engineer a new version of the Core 2 Duo specifically to Apple's specifications -- it's 60 percent smaller than others. The chip operates with 4MB of on-chip shared L2 cache running at full processor speed, and uses an 800MHz frontside bus. 2GB of 667MH DDR2 SDRAM is also included.
Like the MacBook and the MacBook Pro, the MacBook Air features a slimmed down MagSafe connector for power. It comes with a 45 watt power adapter. A flip-down door on one side reveals USB 2.0, Micro-DVI (to connect an external display) and a headphone jack. The MacBook Air also includes 802.11n-based wireless networking support and Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR.
Apple estimates that with wireless networking turned on, the MacBook Air can get about 5 hours of battery life.
Primer Video of MacBook Air - Macworld 2008
No internal optical drive is included, but Apple will offer a $99 USB 2.0-based add-on SuperDrive for users who need it. For users that opt not to get the optical drive, Apple is offering a new software feature on this machine called Remote Disk; it enables you to "borrow" the optical drive of another Mac or PC on the same network as the MacBook Air, to use for installing software, for example.
Apple's frequently been in the crosshairs of environmental group Greenpeace in recent years. Jobs offered information about the environmental goals behind the MacBook Air -- it has a fully recyclable aluminum case, and is "the first" to have a mercury-free display with arsenic-free glass. All the circuit boards are BFR-free and PVC-free, and the retail packaging uses 56 percent less material than the MacBook packaging.
