It is a tablet
It runs Windows 7
It is a touch screen

A compete to Apple iPad?

Not exactly. We are now heading to “mobile” century. Most fashionable if not geek person likes to have one or two gadget that is mobile. Mobile phone has been widely used even a small children. Then we have mobile game console (Portable, a term we almost forgotten), then we have mobile computer (laptop), mobile hard drive and so on.

Like usual, the audience is different. Asus EEE Tablet seems like more business oriental while iPad, fashionable gadget.

This week, the great Hinkley lighting is pointing at another China made iPad alike device called, iPed.

I am not sure about how real the information yet. However, it was rumor that is runs android as the system and has almost the same function as Apple iPad has to offer. Running on a lower and slower 600-MHz chip has a smaller 7-inch screen, and only support up to 16 GB of storage. Price are quote on only $150, which is, I would say, quite high end for a made in China clone Speaking from experience of buying China clone too much.

Interesting… China, you’re the man

Recently, there are rumor about the latest iPhone 4G, or some say it is iPhone HD.

The overall design look like a Macbook, I like, but I don’t like touch screen from now on, that’s it!

Interesting mod. Let’s say Intel bring too much possibilities to Operating Systems world. From running Windows in a Macintoch machine to what it got now. AMD, come on! I trusted you and wanted to get one of you soon

There is all the heat about Apple iPad. After seeing all the iPad printed boxes and on a second thought, I think my entries about Apple iPad need to refine a bit.

Let’s make it bold and brutally honest about Apple iPad. First off, it is just a machine to compete or should I say, join the bandwagon of tablet.

Apple has enough mobile product, the MacBook Air is enough for it mobility like Apple iPad, if smaller, there is iPod Touch. Why is there another product that similar to the existing product? Compete with what other has in store.

Apple iPad don’t do any other thing beside, reading ebook. Why would one spend so much just to read ebook? It’s like giving up the whole forest for a matches on hand. Amazon Kindle, however, make it debut earlier and already start porting into applications on BlackBerry and Nokia, so reading ebook require as small as a Nokia, not even iPhone (Well, it is in iPhone now, though).

I started to feels like Apple like to test their royalty on their own community… Not a good marketing thing…

Well, obviously Apple is after Google Android system. Remember back when iPad was launch and Apple’s CEO called Google a bunch of crap for jumping into mobile field and wanted to take over iPhone? Well, the anger burst and HTC getting the lawsuit… Of course, Google is backing up HTC for they are Android biggest manufacture as well as helping them developing Android.

More story to follow

Apple hardware and Apple software

Apple product come with such a premium price for a reason. They owe everything including you as well. As long as you buy something from Apple, you will going to get the rest of the product from them, beside of course, the accessories.

One place to get replace

Only authorized Apple reseller has the right and legal document to replace your faulty machine, or just a simple warranty from Apple care. Obviously this limited to big city around the World and not small town in a country. Isn’t it exclusive and expensive? Unlike changing projector headlights where you can get it on most store in town.

You are their asset

As soon as you jumped into Apple product, you are their asset. Because you have only one way to go, what do you think they are you to “switch” instead of “getting used”? By taking it one way only, you will become their royalty customer.

Now if you asking me will Linux works this way? I would probably say yes. For me, basically Linux and Apple are both very alike, the only thing lack in Linux was the publicity, which Ubuntu has been working very hard on I believe. That will be another story

Mac is safe from viruses

Well, it depend how you use the computer. Many of my friends does not have an anti virus program and still happily deleting virus themselves, my brother is one of them. Attacking Windows does not mean Windows is bad, if Microsoft support does not solve this problem, then, it is bad, but they do solve the viruses problem don’t they? Mac is save because the system is different.

Windows can play lots of game

Does those Windows users know that there was this game link on Apple website? Diablo, Age of Empire, SimCity, you name it. Sure not so much game, but still, Mac can play games. The reason behind those game maker to make lots of Windows games because the market they have, not because they don’t like Apple computer.

Mac is all about plug and play

Look into the library, you’ll see a whole list of drivers that you didn’t even know. Mac pre-installed all printers and camera drivers so you don’t need to install. But this, take lots of space away from your hard disk. Windows tried to give you more space instead of wasting those in drivers alone.

Windows is more customisable

Really? How long you with the desktop? If you’re a gamer, I bet you’re playing full screen, no? If you’re Internet geek, I bet the browser is maximized mode, no?

I can list a lot more, but I think I’ll pass. Anyhow, there should be a clear understanding of the marketing of each of them. Mac are more into premium machine, PC is everywhere built-in with Windows.

Mac made the hardware and software themselves, they keep the market forever – Royalty. Every product of Apple is interlinked, so you have an iPod, you’ll need an iTunes, to run iTunes on the best mode get a Mac. To get support from Apple, you’ll have to get to Apple store. Clear enough? Apple building royalty slowly every single day.

Unlike Apple, Microsoft mass market their operating system. They linked themselves with the government (smart move). If your Windows crash, there are thousand of stores outside can assist you. Microsoft doesn’t care that, all they know is to market the product out to the mass, heavy advertisement and etc.

In the end of the day, both are actually running almost the same. The price is the only differences. If price is not your concern, you will definitely get a Mac (that’s why we said Mac fanboy are rich). If you have a budget, go for PC, nothing wrong with both of them anyway.

Just give me a nice box cutter, I am going for PC next Budgeting my money these few months. I am going with Ubuntu Linux recently and the upcoming PC will be a Linux machine too!

Google Chrome came out just a while but has taken a lot of market share, growing faster than Safari 3 I just hope IE die away as soon as possible Working as a home business especially in Internet related work, coding for IE6 is really a headache. Hopefully Safari don’t play games with me anymore.

All you need to do is press “Command + S” when startup and the sound “Pong!”. It can’t work when it is on the user mode though. My idea is to just use the command key “applejack auto”, it will do 3 things.

1, Repair header
2, Repair permission
3, Clean up cache

Which is way better to remember all others code It is only 331KB file by the way.

Apple’s focus on high performance JavaScript becomes obvious now that they have demoed the new web applications that come with MobileMe (Guided Tour). MobileMe provides web-applications for email, calendar and address book which were described as being as responsive as desktop-based applications.

One new feature found in Safari 4 is the ability to save webpages as stand alone “web applications” which launch much like regular applications. This replicates functionality found in Fluid, a Mac OS X Leopard application which creates these Site Specific Browsers.

P/S: Currently I don’t see any differences though Maybe sooner…

Done my apology and my explanation, allow me to continue the main topic Very quick, personal branding. I’ve been following with Fakesteve blog and Chedet (Former Malaysia Prime Minister blog) for sometimes, and they have a good branding of themselves. But I would say Fakesteve would champion all the way on personal branding. As most people know that Fakesteve isn’t the real Steve Jobs, but I don’t want to care first, doesn’t matter he is or he isn’t, the branding and getting the most out from the blog is very successful.

This guy (Let’s say it’s someone else) has a very clear mind and understanding of Steve Jobs. Along the way, all the entries made were consistent, the pride and the arrogance are all over the blog. From the first day I clicked into this blog, it already has Google Adsense there, after a period, Amazon was in then blah blah blah, all in. And I predicted that this guy behind the blog must have something wanted to do with this blog. Look into the most recent entry, he is writing a book now, costing? Heh, don’t mention.

Now you think the book is can’t sell? First, Steve Jobs has been storming the computer industry since 2002 (As I know, correct me if I’m wrong) after the come back on 1997. “Apple Mac” became something that is so familiar few years back, then came iPhone that storming the whole mobile phone industry. If you’re still wondering what could you do to make some traffic (Read: TRAFFIC ok?) from your blog, “Steve Jobs” could be a keyword you can choose

So… Where is Apple update coming? Anyway, it’s might be that the launching of Leopard is the death of Tiger

defaults write com.apple.Safari TargetedClicksCreateTabs -bool yes

Write/Paste this on Terminal when Safari isn’t open. To enable Safari to open a new windows just change the “yes” to “no”.

Sometimes it’s strange that why Safari don’t look into Mozilla FireFox and learn from them? They have to know that FireFox is well-known Worldwide compare to Safari at the moment, they (Apple) should at least take a survey into them to know why people likes to use FireFox, what function does FireFox has that Safari don’t have? Are they scare that people will says that they copy from Mozilla like how they said Vista copy from them? Come on, this is the “need” of consumers, it would be “copy” but it will be a feature only, even bathroom faucets are widely copied by Chinamen.

The new features of Safari that enable us to re-arrange tabs is also one of the thing I use FireFox. Now that I know Safari can force open tabs, I think it’s fine foe me to use Safari!
