Apple vs HTC literary Google

Obviously somebody is angry and picking up all the dumped used golf balls. Apple filled a lawsuit against HTC for 20 patents that HTC using. From sliding to unlock a phone, to multi-touch.

Apple HTC Google

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 :)

Why I will never buy another Apple product

I am not condemning Apple product right now, but the way Apple running their business and marketing has making me a little bit uncomfortable. I still love their design though, can’t deny Apple has been a design trend creator and a lot others are just follower :)

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 :)

4 most stupid argument about PC and Mac

This entry might bored you out. You might get angry, and you might feel funny, whatever it may be, I just feels that this should be one interesting thing to know. Been using all three operating system, hearing all sort of argument and agreement. Here are what I find out.

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 :P Budgeting my money these few months. I am going with Ubuntu Linux recently and the upcoming PC will be a Linux machine too!

Checking out Safari 4

I was about to get back home after the whole day tiring office work. The colleagues came and said something (Work related) and told me that Safari has a new version that just came out last night, in the midnight :? I bet he was waiting there as well, but whatever it is, I’m checking it out once I got home :)
Safari 4 UI
Very simple, as simple as Google Chrome and honestly, this copy has been too significant :P And why they didn’t talk to themselves about copying? Instead, they keep on blaming Microsoft Windows are copying them? Guess the person who being copy is louder than the person who copying :) Anyway, speaking of Safari 4, the user interface has been upgraded, a lot!
Safari 4 most viewed sites list
How I love the way they display the most viewed site comparing with Google Chrome. Well, as usual that’s the Apple style, simple yet elegant :)
Safari 4 cover flow view
However, I have one problem though, this viewing is good, but the function wasn’t there yet. I am still looking for ways to import my bookmark into Safari 4. I’m currently using IE6, IE7, Mozilla FireFox, Google Chrome and now Safari 4 beta! Guess this beta version doesn’t support it yet, until the next release(?)
Safari 4 tabs
I’m having this problem as well. I wonder if Safari developing team notice this or not. I was forced to change the classic theme into XP theme mainly because of the tiny tabs it has on the classic theme. Hmm… This is just like a good Google Chrome. Well, it’s good that Apple has come out this idea to solve their Safari usage.

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 :P 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.

Best Mac OSX maintenance software ever

Due to my faulty DVD-Rom, I can’t repair my volume header, that scared me for a while. I took my time to look into the internet for the best volume repair software. I get cocktail and some other that are shareware :(
Applejack
And finally I come across this best maintenance software called – Applejack. It allow Single User Mode to maintain and repair the header! It also helps if the laptop can’t boot up. Best of all, it’s freeware! Not even a shareware can compete with this. I got my volume header repaired and now running smooth ;) Imagine sitting here all day long just to find out how to repair my volume header, damn! I should have know this software earlier. Next entry must be a weight loss pill reviews due to the long hour of sitting without exercise this few days.

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 :lol: It is only 331KB file by the way.
