Well, I waited for 3 days. Rather than buying it from Apple store, I’ve decided to order one online and paid my price - received it only on Monday. Which now means that I would have to spend evening,rather than weekend, playing with it…
But at least it gave me opportunity to watch Tarantino’s ‘Inglourious Basterds’ - which BTW is another Tarantino’s masterpiece. Can’t wait for HD release now.
Yeah,yeah, last time alleged screenshots of upcoming Google OS aka Chrome OS cmae out, they shook the internet for 24 hours. Only next day, person who ‘leaked’ them admitted that they were photoshoped. Now, there is another set of Chrome OS screenshots emerged. Are these real?
Two members of our team were heading oversees, Russia to be exact, for couple of weeks and it was my responsibility to come up with solution for cheaper roaming. One of them was on Telus with World Blackberry while other had personal Fido phone. Telus roams fine in Russia, but bills are outrageous. Telus charges near $5 per minute.
My challenges were:
Find cost effective way to keep person with personal phone connected and eliminate need for reimbursement of personal expenses occurred on personal phone.
Find cost effective way for person with Blackberry to stay connected while maintaining existing number.
It is now only a matter of minutes until new iPhone would be presented to the world. It is still at the rumors stage, but it is quite obvious that it is happening.
Apple is having WWDC (WordlWide Developers’ Conference) on June 8 2009 at 10:00am PST Expectations are:
Snow Leopard [available at $29 to existing Leopard owners in September]
Possible notebooks update [Apple has just released updated 15" MacBook Pro - SD card slot, new battery - same as 17" ]
[Apple also updated MacBook - included same longer lasting battery as 17" MBPro, SD Card Slot]
I am quite excited about release of Snow Leopard and possible speed increase of my existing iMac. But what I am eager to see is iPhone.
Such passion to that announcement comes from the fact that my iPhone 3G which I had for almost a year, pack it last week. I am data-less and using my 3yr old Nokia 6103 with awkward typing on those numpad for text messaging and no data. I’ve tried accessing WAP browser, but it took couple of minutes to load Google page and I gave up on other.
What I am expecting from new iPhone? First thing is that will be available on Rogers/Fido networks in Canada the same time it is released in other countries. Be it immediately, next week or next month, I am waiting for it. As far as features, I was pretty happy with my existing phone. The only thing I wish Apple does change is iPhone’s back, it was too slippery. That back was the main reason my iPhone is dead now. It slipped out of my hands and fell hard on the ground. Read »
Last Monday I had to shoot interview with Anthony Sedlak for www.DiningReview.ca We’ve planned to utilize my existing camcorder and aquire additional for a backup shots and variable angles. As usually (please don’t blaim me) I’ve decided to use 14 days return policy from the big chain BestBuy, good thing they’ve had just what I needed. Read »
After shooting Anthony Sedlak at Eat! Vancouver show Friday night, I’ve imported footage from my Sanyo Xacti HD1010 into iMovie 09. I was so happy that by converting .mp4 files into .mov it actually reduces size by 50%. The truth was - it only imported half of the clip. Read »
I introduce you another concept design, this time it is Sony PlayStation Portable. Would PSP2 ever look like this? or should we wait for something like PSP10 which our kids will have in 2040?
Ok, fine, it’s not next iPhone. It is quite nice concept of the phone, however. The whole phone is sensor display. The sensor blends in with the casing to create the one. Something like this was introduced by Nokia (Nokia Aeon) but this is something beyond that.
I really think that once those 1mm display become less expensive and widely available, we would be able to see something like this. Below more pictures:

Saturday, Oct 25th - I just had to order extra shot in my Americano from Starbucks. Even though it wasn’t bad hangover, coming to office at 8am on Saturday is not what I’m used to. I’ve met my friend Igor at Starbucks, two triple Americano with extra shot and we are heading to the office.
First things [...]
Last weekend (Oct 25,26) I’ve decided to fix our network setup that was done by some outside contractors. I don’t know why people would do something improperly and then overload it with patches, workarounds etc. But wait a second, there is a company that does exactly that - MS.
Anyway, the setup we had was: 2 [...]
