Marriage Proposal of the Day

Truth be told, every girl dreams of that moment when her man will sweep her off her feet in such proposal to become a lifetime partner. And yes, men would really go to such length of conceptualizing a romantic marriage proposal that would bring their woman to tears as the perfect “Yes” is given.

 

 

Today,I just have to share this one best marriage proposal idea. This salon girl becomes one of those stunned girlfriend to find out of her boyfriend’s proposal. Her beau,David Jones–a Cleveland-based video producer, conveniently enough–did a yesterday to in a successful bid for the hand of his girlfriend, Dee Horton.

On Thursday, Horton and her co-workers at a Medina, Ohio hair salon tuned in to the midday newscast on Cleveland’s WJW-TV. Jones had told her that he’d be portraying some sort of superhero in a commercial. But as she went about trimming a client’s hair with one eye on the broadcast, she soon realized that she was the sole member of this particular commercial’s target demographic. “A lot of people say we’re living on love, like it’s a bad thing,” Jones said in the commercial. “How about you and I show the world what true love is all about?” He then pulled out a ring and proposed, and a few seconds later Jones emerged in the salon with a WJW camera crew, and dropped to his knees to perform such stunning proposal in person.

 

Jones said in an earlier statement that he wanted his marriage proposal to be “something neither one of us would ever forget,” and he clearly achieved his goal. For her part, Horton said that she contracted cancer shortly after she and Jones began dating, but he stuck by her side and cared for her as she endured surgery and radiation treatments. We wish them all the best. (Catch the video via: Fox 8 WJW in Cleveland )

Apple Store Down before New Macbook Pro’s Release

The online version of the Apple Store was down this morning and, just in time before the big reveal, informations has leaked online showing the specs for the new 15-inch version of the refreshed MacBook Pro.

The French-language site Mac4Ever (translated link) posted a photo it claims is the new 15-inch MacBook Pro’s product box showing the purported laptop’s new specs. The latest MacBook Pro will reportedly include a 2Ghz Intel Core i7 quad-core processor, 4GB DDR3 RAM, a 500 GB optical drive, 1,440-by-900 display resolution, two USB slots, a SDXC card slot, a FireWire 800 port, an 8x Super Drive, a FaceTime HD camera, and an AMD Radeon HD 6490M graphics card with 256 MB of VRAM. The computer weighs 5.6 pounds, according to the screenshot. It’s not clear what the specs would be for the 13- and 17-inch MacBook Pros.

The box also mentions something called a Thunderbolt port, which is rumored to be using Intel’s Light Peak high-speed connection technology that will supposedly rival USB. The box says this port is compatible with peripherals and also acts as a MiniDisplay port, backing up rumors that appeared online on Wednesday.

Missing from the purported specs is any mention of the previously rumored hybrid SSD-optical storage system. Under this scheme, the OS X operating system would sit on the SSD for a faster start-up time while file storage would be handled by the larger optical drive.

 

It’s not clear when Apple will open up its online store again, but if it’s waiting to unveil refreshed MacBook Pros, it may have to wait until later today. Intel is hosting a press event Thursday at 10 a.m. Pacific time in San Francisco to launch its Light Peak technology that is purportedly used in the new MacBook Pro’s Thunderbolt technology.

Google unveils payment platform for online content as it launched an online payment platform for digital newspapers and magazines. This is as a subscription service unveiled by Apple a day earlier came under fire for the size of the bite it takes from publishers.

Google said publishers can offer readers a variety of options including full subscriptions or even single articles for purchase.”With Google One Pass, publishers can customize how and when they charge for content while experimenting with different models to see what works best for them,” Google said.
CEO Eric Schmidt announced Google One Pass during his speech at Humboldt University in Berlin, Germany. Such an online payment system had been rumored for months, but Google obviously timed its announcement to promote the fact that its terms are more favorable–and flexible–to publishers than Apple’s.
