The new iPhone 5 which I ordered on last Friday has finally arrived! It is just in time for an iOS app project presentation on February 4. The iPhone 5 is really a sleek and sexy baby. Unlike some plastic phones, I still can feel its weight despite of its slim profile. Its form factor…
The Eccentric Logic of An Eclectic Mind
What a beautiful and satisfying day! We have launched our first iOS app on iTunes Store. It is an iOS app for Marthia Sides. Marthia Sides is a Nashville-based country song singer. She has lovely voice and she sings many nice funky country music which you can sample from her iOS app. This is a hybrid…
Alright. I admit that I have been long drooling over a new MacBook Air. The only reason I was holding back was that my 2007 MacBook White was still working and mobile working was not really necessary to me. But things have changed a little beginning this year. I am going to give a few…
It was a shocking morning when I learned about Steve’s death from a friend’s message on my iPhone 4. Then, I confirmed the news by reading Apple’s website and Twitter on my iMac. No words can adequately express my sadness. My condolences to his family. Steve, you have been a great inspiration to me. Well,…
It has been my tradition to name my computers and mobile devices after the name of a moon, planet or star. This time is no exception. The new OSX operating system 10.7, code-named Lion, was officially released by Apple, Inc. on July 20, 2011. In astrology, it was just two days before the Sun begins…
Yesterday, Apple released iOS 4 update, which was one day before its press conference. The iOS 4.0.1 has obviously made the signal bar look taller. According to various media and blogs, the update is reportedly to have new software (new formula) to calculate the signal strength and to display it more accurately. Read here and…
My first PDA was PalmPilot Professional (photo to right) produced by U.S. Robotics (later as Palm, Inc.). I bought it in 1998 but I did not use it often due to limited apps. My use was restricted to Calendar, Address and Todo. It was a huge hassle to purchase apps for PalmPilot because there was no…
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…
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…
Apple’s decision for not to implement Adobe’s Flash into iPhone OS has turned Adobe-Apple relationship sour. In an open letter from Steve Job, he has written clearly about Flash’s weaknesses and a firm stance against Adobe’s Flash. I absolutely agree with Steve based on my experience with Flash. I would say: “Flash is nice to…
If you have followed my blog, you must be aware of how I criticized about iPhone and Apple’s aggressive strategy with mobile carriers in my article, “iPhone is in Malaysia!” I have also been going around telling customers and friends that iPhone is not as useful as it seems and is more a toy to…
A couple of weeks ago, the iPhone 3.0 software update was official launched. I connected my iPod Touch to iTunes 8.2 and clicked Update. Unfortunately, iTunes said that the update wasn’t available at iTunes Malaysia store. I wasn’t very happy with the service Apple has provided. The update was supposed to be free but it…
The long awaited Apple iPhone 3G has finally arrived in Malaysia. Apple’s website announced its arrival today and Maxis has begun informing its customers via SMS a few days ago. I was in joy receiving the SMS and quickly went to Maxis website to check out the details. I was truly disappointed after reading…
I have been Apple Mac user since 2003 after ditching Microsoft Windows in 1998. Mac OS X is real UNIX operating system comparing to Linux which is UNIX-like. Thanks to Apple for spending quite a substantially huge amount of money to license the UNIX operating system. Ever since I had an iBook, I am getting…
Happy New Year 2009 buddies! It seems like a good head start for me. Everything I planned for today seems to be smooth sailing although I am having one problem which I do not know why it happens. I guess I will need to toy with it and/or hack it to learn why it isn’t…
