Rumors Around iPhone 4

There were rumors before Steve Jobs launched the long awaited iPhone 4 during WWDC 2010 early this month. Apple, Inc. is probably the only company in the world that is able to spur worldwide thrill about its products, especially iPhone. Just look at the number of people eagerly queueing for hours to receive their pre-ordered iPhone 4 last week.

No single person or thing is perfect. Soon after people got hold of their new iPhone, there came the reception problem. The antenna of the new iPhone 4 is located at the bottom left corner of the phone (away from the user’s skull/brain), which is a clever requirement forced by FCC. By holding the iPhone in your palm will short-circuit the antenna and the signal will be attenuated after a few seconds. Some people have even experimented on this issue so well that they have concluded that the signal (and call) will be totally attenuated within 10 seconds.

Then, there is even a Steve Jobs sham on Twitter spreading unofficial information that Apple may recall iPhone 4. And then a legitimate news media (read here) has fallen into this takeoff.

Since Steve returned to Apple and started to revamp Apple’s product lines, there have been constant stimulations and endless excitement and rumors you can religiously look forward to for every 3 months. Even if you are not an Apple user, you will be affected as well.

I am fascinated by the propelled rumors and how Steve Jobs deals with these grapevines. Steve Jobs is undoubtedly the CEO of 21st century!

Macintosh – Insanely Great

I remember that I was waiting to be accepted as a member of my school’s computer club. No Macintosh but Commodore Vic 20 with only 4 (or 8 ) 5 KB of memory and cassette tape drive. I came in contact with a Macintosh in a computer shop in 1987 and I fell in love with it too. Unfortunately, its price was exorbitantly high and I could not afford a Macintosh back then.

This video shows the young Steve Jobs revealing the insanely great Macintosh in 1984. It is so classic and what a nostalgia!
