I had the opportunity to try one of them, namely 27-inch iMac. Is large enough. Even needed a cart, to lug it to the newsroom.Upon opening the box 27-inch iMac is the first time, I felt a little strange. Why is not there a lot of wires here? Is there less?
It seems not. IMac because the box is only a wireless keyboard and the mouse magic mouse magic. Yes, that's all. Simple is not it? The only cable that there is only power cable.
Compared with the first product in 1998, the new iMac looks very simple with no wires sticking everywhere. Of course, since the device was that only two: the keyboard and mouse.
Compared with previous series, this new iMac keyboard was simple, light and not ribet. Although small, this keyboard the size of full-size, without the numeric keypad on the right side of the widened. Apple claims the size of the keyboard itself is 24 percent smaller than previous versions.

Magic Mouse Mighty Mouse is the successor, this device can be connected to a Mac via Bluetooth devices.
Magic Mouse does not have any buttons on the surface, let alone a common scroll wheel found on the mouse to the PC. For navigation the user can move his fingers on the surface of the mouse.
We ourselves have difficulty when first using it. Why not run the mouse magic new feature? Though the new iMac have been using OS X Snow Leopard. Apparently the problem only update it.
According to the Apple site, to be able to use it, the system is used at least Mac OS X v10.5.8 Wireless Mouse with software update 1.0. So despite having the latest OS X updates, if not update the mouse will be useless.

Asphalt 5 for iPhone
The controls are absolutely perfect for the iPhone in their default mode. You steer with tilt, and the only buttons you have to worry about are boost and brake. The steering is very touchy, so it is easy to oversteer, and go pinballing between sides of the course. Not exactly true to life, but more fun that way. You earn more cash through crazy stunts too, in a similar way to the Burnout games. So driving people off the road, narrowly avoiding traffic, smashing street signs all earn you money. However, totaling your car costs you a lot, both in race time and money, so avoid incoming traffic.iDracula Games for iPhone
iDracula ($0.99, iTunes link) is a sign that gaming on the iPhone platform is maturing. It’s an intense survival game where you play a vampire hunter besieged by hordes of werewolves, vampires, and other nasty creatures. The game is pure monster-killing fun. With spectacular graphics, cool weapons, interesting magical powers, and uptempo game play, it’s one of the better iPhone games out there, and the first non-puzzle game that I feel really utilizes the iPhone platform correctly. Due to its small size, it’s still not on par with something you’d find on a PSP or DS, but maybe this is what the iPhone and iPod Touch is all about: quick, fun, casual games. We are rating iDracula 8.5 out of 10, highly recommended.
iDracula isn’t merely a shoot’em up, although there is plenty of shooting (you pretty much spend the entire game firing your guns). The key to surviving is how you spend character upgrades. After a certain amount of experience points are gained, a green icon appears that you tap to access a random list of upgrades. Some of the upgrades are throwaways, like “kills all monsters but you die in 10 seconds.” The beneficial upgrades can increase your total health or cool powers. My favorite is telekinesis, which causes items like healing potions and new weapons to slowly slide across the ground toward you and makes them easier to collect.
Sims 3, The best Game for iPhone
Sims for the iPhone ($6.99, iTunes link) is a truly fun game that feels remarkably similar to the PC and console versions. I can save you the trouble of reading this review by briefly summing up my thoughts: buy this game. Sims 3 is incredibly addictive and a real gem among iPhone games. I can’t even tell you how much time I’ve already wasted on it.
For those not familiar with the Sims series, it works pretty simply. You create your own character by choosing a gender, skin tone, eye color, hair color, clothing and accessories. The choices are pretty extensive, as you can even choose from different styles of jeans and a few different hairstyles. Then you select the personality you want for your Sim. I selected ‘nice girl’ for my Sim, but you can also have fun with the ‘maniac’ and ’sleaze’ personas.
