If my eldest bro has a STORM, my 2nd bro has a BOLD, and my 2nd bro's gf a CURVE, what about me? I'll be either the iPhone, or the HERO!!!10:06 PM Jun 25th from web
Ronald Liong is thinking of getting the Windows 7 E(uropean) edition. Same price, only you don't get Internet Explorer. Nobody uses IE. Right? Like, you don't need IE to donwload Google Chrome? No?

Down with servers!
today's the day on which Apple releases the new iPhone OS 3.0 update.
But, before you do the update, why not check for updates to your apps?
I'm sure there's some updates there.
So the checklist looks like this:-
-Update apps
-Sync apps to iPhone/iPod touch
-Wait for 3.0 Software Upgrade to come
-for iPod touch: choose if you want to buy the update or not
-Download Software upgrade
-Install Software Update onto iPhone/iPod touch.

If you're on Squarespace...
Squarespace blog.
Firstly, the layout is cleaner. It looks cooler, thanks to
Squarespace's templates.
Secondly, on the Right Sidebar, there's an option to go to the Archive
or to SEARCH through the content of my thousands of posts. I ported
over all my posts, and I'm updating both blogs, so you can do an A-B
comparison if you want.
So, give it a shot!
Trying out new stuff...
Just to let you know, I'm currently, experimenting with another
blogging service, called Squarespace.
It's a blogging/site-building tool that I often hear people recommend,
so that's why I'm testing it out.
Most of the components online and ready for your fragile eyes. Do
check it out at:

Apple product upgrade plans...
I also said I wanted a new MBP before I bought the one I'm typing on
at time of post...
Now, time to evaluate what I think I should do...
a) iPhone
I cannot sell, trade-in, or retire my iPhone 3G. It's an officially
unlocked iPhone, it's too good to give away, and I need a phone for
when I'm in Indonesia. So, I shall keep handy.
But that doesn't mean I can't get a second iPhone. I want the new 3G S
because it has several features I could use a hand with.
-Digital Compass, so I won't get lost
-Nike+, so I can run with my phone rather than my iPod nano.
-Video and AF, so I will use my phone to take pictures more often.
-Less crashing would be nice.
-Faster 3G speed, so I can tether to my laptop and make it worthwhile
(all 3 carriers that I use: Singtel, O2, and Telkomsel, support
tethering, btw.)
The only problem now is the price. I am only willing to pay £250 for a
phone right now, because essentially, I'm paying for a "rental" of an
iPhone + camera + Nike+ + modem. Add everything minus the iPhone
together, and that's about £250, which is still a lot of money by any
standard. So, let's see what pricing O2 announces...
b) MBP.
No point discussing. I'm sticking to my current MBP till either it
breaks down, or I graduate from Uni in 4 years' time.
Why I really want to buy the next iPhone 3G S.
- Fingerprint-resistant oleophobic coating
Prediction roundup
1) New iPhone(s).
i. Better camera (with auto-focus and 3.2MP),
ii. a digital compass,
iii. matte plastic case on the back,
iv. support for remotes on the newer earphones,
v. faster processor,
vi. higher 3G speed,
vii. 2x the memory (both RAM and NAND),
viii. HD 720p support,
ix. iPhone OS 3.0,
x. Release Date: July 17
No word on 720p, remote, RAM. Release Jun-Aug, so Jul 17 is partially correct. 15/25 + 1 bonus for the s behind the word "iPhone".
2) Snow Leopard.
i. Snow Leopard is coming before September.
It's in September. But I was in the right direction, so that's halve? 12.5/25
3) iPhone OS 3.0 - More talk about this during the keynote.
i. Video capture & editing
ii. GPS (turn-by-turn using the digital compass)
iii. Movies and TV shows download from the iPhone (over Wi-Fi only)
iv. Applications support for accessories and Push Notification Support re-explained
v. Release date - July 17 (the date is correct, the month is wrong)
Tomtom app w/ car kit = digital compass, new iPhone or not. btw, 1 month early! Good! 17.5/25
4) What is/isn't going to happen...
i. Steve Jobs will not appear on stage
ii. Phil Schiller and Scott Forstall will.
iii. No new iPods released or announced.
iv. No new Macs released or announced.
v. No new tablet. Not yet. The time's not right for something that
WTF? New MBPs? 20/25
Summing up...
Target was 65/100
Total: 66/100
Result: PASS!

Obama speaks to the Muslim World
Links adjustment...
some changes to the Links section of this blog.
You'll see more blogs getting the strikethrough treatment from today
onwards.
By striking through, that doesn't mean I don't like the person, or the
person has deleted his/her blog.
I've changed my criteria for strike-throughs.
From today onwards, Any blog that meets any of the following criteria
will be struck in the Links section:
a) hasn't posted a single post in the past 6 months. In theory, any
blog without a post since 6 December 2008 would be struck. But because
we're in June, I made it such that any blog without a post in 2009
will get struck.
b) gone private, rendering the blog inaccessible to many.
c) been deleted/overtaken by someone else.
d) moved without informing the new link.
e) been re-skinned or facing a glitch which made the "last posting
date" check impossible. i.e.: I can't see a single post, so I'm
striking you as well.
f) potentially harmful site. Thankfully, none of the blogs so far fall
in this category, but in case a blog apocalypse should come, I've
included this criteria.
So, hopefully, you won't be offended if you see your blog getting
struck. If your blog has been wrongfully struck, you may appeal by my
tagboard or Facebook or email.
