Roosters are supposedly deep thinkerscapable of handling any challenge, they are outspoken, aggressive, talented, and courageous.
Which is exactly what we can expect this year from the digital world.
Mini-Mes
Just as Roosters are aggressive with whatever they do, Apple isnt one to let the PC drag him out of the ring. The introduction of the Mac Mini, which measures 6.5 square and 2 tall is hitting sales hard with its stylish, yet convenient package. The company that made MP3s on the go the coolest thing (not to mention iPods that play videos and store photos) is ringing in the New Year with affordable yet chic products that are making other companies squirm in their seats.
Taking on the cue of the Mac mini, its all about going compact. Rumors of the Apple Powerbook G5 to be released in the second quarter of 2005 has gotten many laptop lovers reeling with excitement.
Fired up and ready to Google
Just as youve discovered Mozilla Firefox as the best ever browser on the planet (if you havent, then you must be a fan of spyware and random pop-ups you might have to familiarize yourself with yet another super-charged browser. Google.com has employed head programmer for Firefox Ben Goodger, to develop a browser for themwhich could very much leave Microsofts IE in the dust.
Music on the Go
Cellular phones wont be left behindMotorola is introducing 13 new models this year, and Samsungs light and compact clam shell phones are quickly winning the hearts of many text addicts.
Phones are quickly incorporating as much media as it can in one unitbut everyone will still be clamoring for their own mp3 player. Creative and Samsung have released compact and stylish players to pit against the iPODlets face it, MP3 players are the new cell phones when it comes to being digitally trendy.
Although, as we get more connected, our precious PCs and PDAs become more prone to viruses. These wont go away in the year of the Rooster, but instead, could be more rampant. Its easier to get infected when were all wired upexpect random viruses as well as blue jacking, which are attacks on Bluetooth-enabled devices.
That shouldnt get you down, though. After all, the Rooster can overcome whatever challenge is thrown his way. Now theres something to crow about.
