Amazing Day at Apple

Posted by Erin, the RobotGrrl on Saturday, March 8th, 2008

The day after SDK for the iPhone was released, at 9:30 AM I had the opportunity to show Apple (in Montreal) my Robbie the Robot application.

Their office is extremely clutter-free, it was pretty amazing. Plus, there was a 1984 poster from the Apple Computer TV-commercical, which was neat. Not to mention, there was a mosaic of iPod characters. It was really colourful, and nice!

Let me start off by saying, it was an amazing demonstration!

I was originally going to meet with only 1 person, but that quickly changed to two more people, and another one! They were all really cool, of course. They were impressed, too. One of the jokes of it all was that, no matter who popped in, they asked whether I have the cable for the display to my macbook (which I don’t). They actually didn’t have one, but it’s on order. If it isn’t in on time, it’s not much of a problem to go to the Apple Store.

All in all, they are lending me a 20 inch cinema display! I am so fortunate, and I definitely counted my lucky stars. I took oodles of pictures of it, already! It is stunning. I have a feeling it is bound to stand out against the black display board!

 

 

I also had the chance to touch a Macbook Air. It is unbelievably light! And the keyboard with the backlight is awesome. Also, to debunk a myth, the same Magsafe power adapter does work, however it would put the laptop on an angle. The trackpad is pretty awesome too, with the multi-touch. So, that is pretty much it about the meeting with Apple! It was extremely fun, and I’d do it again! (And so would Robbie).

   Ginny, they gave you a cinema display because you are a great genius, and when they hire you for their robotics lab, which they would be lucky to get you, you will make the next big thing that will change the world. Love, BA
