With the new hardware announcement this past Monday from Apple Inc., they have left a hole in their MacBook product line. With only leaving the white MacBook in the “consumer” market, they will most likely be introducing an 8″ or 9″ MacBook with-in the next year or so to compete with the netbook market. This new line of machines that I am predicting would have the same build quality as all of the other Apple products but will have lower specs a smaller size to put these machines at the right price point.

I am still unsure on how an Apple tablet would fit into Apple’s overall business model but I guess that all of that can change like it did two years ago when they introduced the iPhone.

I have set up my custom Wordpress blog on my own server, and not on Wordpress’s servers. I would like to thank http://www.tsatkin.com/wordpress-blog-setup-with-1and1-picture-tutorial/ for their tutorial on how to get everything setup on 1and1’s hosting service.

I have been playing with Wordpress for the past few hours now, and am loving this bloging format. It is great to know that I have everything setup on my own hosting space and don’t have to worry about logging into Wordpress.com. I have a lot of things to look at with Wordpress and a lot of things to learn. My next step to to learn how to create custom themes and how to use Wordpress as a CMS (Content Management system).
