A catch phrase will go here soon.

MacBook not bright enough

macbook screen

I’m enjoying my black MacBook for the past couple of months, but I have to say the screen isn’t as good as my tiny Sony microlaptop. For one, the MacBook’s glossy screen reflects so much that I see myself more than this blog post when I’m sitting in the backyard (like I am right now).

Second, the screen looks like it is on low brightness when outside even when I have it on the highest setting. Finally, I hate the fact that this thing does not have a standard PCMCIA slot.

Other than that this is a great laptop and I would recommend it. I’ve been hearing rumors of the a microlaptop from Mac and I think when that comes out I’m going to snap it up. I’ve found that with the amount of traveling I do the MacBook is too heavy–I always take my Sony instead. I just like the idea of not breaking my back when running through airports and walking from 57th street to City Hall in NYC.

Steve Jobs, hear my prayer. :-)

Note: I wish I had read this months ago.

Hello, my name is Jason. Welcome to my blog on the interwebs. You can reach me on twitter @jason and by email at jason@calacanis.com. My Skype is jasoncalacanis, and my mobile phone is 310-456-4900.

I only pick up numbers I recognize, and in terms of emailing me, the best strategy is to write short, blunt and to the point requests. I can quickly respond to short messages, and many times I simply don't have the time to read five page pitches. In terms of taking meetings, I only do that after reviewing an actual product (not a business plan). So, the best time to ping me is when you have mockups or an alpha site. I don't read business plans, and I've never written one.

Other twitter accounts you can follow: Video Games, Open Angel Forum, and LAUNCH Conference & Newsletter
