I notice some parents are paranoid. I am worried. Andrew Grove (former Intel CEO) says that Only Paranoid Survive, he means himself, not everyone. Some parents notice their 5 years old kid score higher than them in Angry Bird games, they starts paranoid. Quickly enroll a whiz kid discovery program, just in case their 5 years old kid is computer genius. They can't wait for their 5 years old

In deep sorrow, I feel sorry for Apple and all the Apple users out there. We have lost a genius tech guy. You can check from Apple website. We all know that this day will come soon. We just don't know when. When I received the news this early morning, I was shocked. Is just 1 day after Apple launched iPhone 4S. The biggest news is not the new release iPhone. Steve Jobs has died at the age

Unfortunately that day has come. On August 24 (2011), Steve Job resigned as Apple CEO. In a letter from Jobs to Apple board and the community: I have always said if there ever came a day when I could no longer meet my duties and expectations as Apple's CEO, I would be the first to let you know. Unfortunately, that day has come. (more)  This is a shocking news, but we all know that this day

My family want to make a call to Philippines, I let them to use my Skype account. I seldom use my Skype-out account after I top-up. After my family make the call (to Philippines), I check the balance. I got a shock, half of the credit gone. It was much more expensive than I expected. I check the call rate from Skype. Yeah, call rate to Philippines is Euro 16.1 cents per minute, while other Asia

Both P1 and YTL Yes are Wimax internet service providers. Even though Yes marketing themselves as 4G network provider and follow by P1, they are just Wimax service providers. I think is a confusing the consumers like us to name themselves as 4G network. I don't really care if they are 4G, 3G or WiMax, as long as the can provide a good and reliable service.

iPhone support Quicktime and mp4 (H.264) video format, which is not common as rmvb and avi (divx, xvid). There are many video converter software which turn various video format to mp4.

Lack of programmers, always. At Startupweekend Malaysia KL 2011, out of 60 attendees, only about 6 are programmers. Half of the programmers saying that they are 'rusty'. Software developers in Startupweekend are precious, not in Malaysia. Either programmers are mostly not interested to startup, or there is not much programmers in Malaysia here. Never-mind, we can get programmers from

Finally iPad 2 is launched on 2 March 2011(US time). As expected it is thinner, lighter, faster and with FaceTime. It came with A5 dual core CPU and dual camera. The first version of iPad is about USD 100 cheaper by now. What unexpected is Steve Jobs appear on the event and present the keynote. I though he is on medical leave!? Steve Jobs looks much better than the description by recent news.

There are a lot of rumors about iPad 2 out there. The latest is about the release date on 2 March 2011. I don't really care about the launch date, but it should be at the beginning of the year. This is what I think about the rumors of iPad 2. iPad 2 is smaller and thinner. Thinner because it has a flat back plane. Smaller doesn't mean is 7-inch.

I am tired of toping up my Digi prepaid phone every 90 (or 120) days, even I am not using it. Digi once offer to top up RM100 and validate for a year time, but now no more. There is a super long life 365 which will validate your Digi prepaid numbers for 365 days (which is 1 year), but you have to spend RM30 from your prepaid balance. The RM30 is the subscription fees, it will not convert to

My friend from the anti-Apple fanboy club, read an iPod new and told me, "Yeah, iPod sales is below analyst expectation. " I told him, yeah is true. Analyst expect 5 million iPod sold in 4th quarter, but only 4.19 million were sold. (refer here) The analyst expect the main reason why less iPad sold because the manufacturer can not supply more. Is true that Apple revenue and profit is

Both Samsung and Sony Ericsson to phase out Symbian. No surprise. Symbian was acquire by Nokia, if Symbian can not compete with iPhone (and iOS), then they should move to other mobile OS like Google Andriod or Windows Phone 7. Is either these companies who are using Symbian, did not improve the OS and compete with iPhone, or they have just given up, focus on other mobile OS which is available,

Just after I blog about Skype partner with Avaya, there are more news about Skype. Skype has just hired Cisco top executive, Tony Bates, appointed as its new CEO. There are news reported that Cisco interested to buy Skype, but seems like Skype prefer to go for IPO than being acquired by Cisco. If Skype steps into enterprise market, Skype could be a strong competitor of VoIP for Cisco. Skype

As mobile numbers are insufficient to cater the growth of mobile users (especially the rapid growing prepaid), Malaysia MCMC release the 011 prefix to celco and broadband providers.

Even though iPad is not officially available at Malaysia, the Star newspaper has a version on iPad. Why not? For people at Malaysia they can just get a copy of the printed Star newspaper. The electronic version are more for tech guys or people at overseas. I don't have an iPad, so I doesn't know how the iPad version looks like. The Star is one of the media who aggressively invest in

My Sony rechargeable battery is half dead, all 4 of them, 2500mAh capacity. Each fully charge will power up 50 to 60 percent of the original power, even after a full discharge and recharge is the same. I bought the battery one and half years ago for photo shooting, just use it for about 5 times, now it was half dead. I don't use it often, may be that is the main cause of the power reduction

DiGi has a new prepaid plan call DiGi easy prepaid. You have free calls and SMS to 3 Buddyz numbers. The internet daily is max cap at RM3 rather than RM5.

I met people asking why buying iPhone? Not everyone want iPhone. iPhone is just not for everyone. Different people buying iPhone for different reasons. Some people likes the big screen, some people like the touch screen, some people like the user interface, some people like iPhone application. Some people buy iPhone simple because it is an iPhone. If you break it down one by one. Easy to use

今日的星洲日報新媒體有兩個嚴重的小錯誤。 1. 封面標題錯誤。 这项 Maxis 的“创举”，把马来西亚摆上了“全世界第一个于凌晨零时零分发售 iPhone 4 ”的国家。当晚的首卖会，不但邀得数百位 IT 传媒及 IT 博客出席采访报道，还找来国内的某电台及某电视台现场直播。 iPhone 在第二代開始就已經有午夜首賣的例子。 iPhone 4 在亞洲，先是新加坡與香港，接著台灣，都是在午夜首賣。在台灣電訊公司自掏腰包送 iPhone 4 保護套，這倒是創舉了。 2. DiGi 24 日發售 iPhone ... 因为 DiGi 授权是迟一天至 25 日才能正式发售 ... DiGi 於 24 日在四十餘個分銷處開始銷售，只是沒有像 Maxis 般午夜首賣及造勢。 只是印刷版有問題，網上版的報導資訊正確。 相信是記者趕著截稿，所敷衍了事。

I don't think FaceTime (on iPhone 4) is going to work very well in Malaysia here, on a slow internet network. Not everyone need or like FaceTime, for those who need video call, you already using Skype. So what so greet about FaceTime? Zero configuration. The FaceTime only work over WiFi now, to activate FaceTime, first you need to call through the mobile network. Once FaceTime has been activated

I would say that the iPhone 4 launch event is another successful marketing campaign from Apple. Is already 3rd year after the first iPhone released, the 4th version of iPhone launch still catching attention for most people. Not just in Malaysia, in Singapore, Hong Kong and Taiwan which launch iPhone 4 earlier. For iPhone lover, you might not want to miss the iPhone 4 launch event at Malaysia.

Today is Malaysia Day, it is a holiday. In 1963 16th of September, Sabah, Sarawak (and Singapore) join Malaya and form Malaysia. (Singapore separated from Malaysia since 1965) There are people arguing, should National Day be the 31 August Merdeka Day or the 16 September when east and west Malaysia united together.

If you are having an iPhone 3GS, is no rush to get an iPhone 4 yet. The reasons are just simple, I bet you still have contract with the telco which came with 3GS. The iPhone 4 A4 cpu is using the ARM cortex A8 core cpu, which is same with the iPhone 3GS. Sure iPhone 4 may improve performance in graphic display and power management. The iPhone 4 is only available officially in 2 Asia countries (
