Still broken this Safari 5.1.1

Safari 5.1.1 is still suffering from hang-ups and excessive memory usage despite of what Apple claimed. In OS X Lion, Safari 5.1.1 hangs up when opening multiple tabs or windows. Safari 5.1 becomes unresponsive as phantom page reloads occur.

I noticed this as I was downloading files in the background. The download was interrupted as the phantom page reloads happened.

Adobe Flash and HTML5.

The headline: “Adobe to cease Flash development for mobile browsers, refocus efforts on HTML5.”

Adobe confirms this.

I had a conversation with a cousin of a friend who turned out to be one of Adobe Senior Vice President. We had a brief conversation about tablets. He told me to get the one from Motorola or RIM instead of an iPad. The reason: Adobe Flash. I do not remember exactly when, but it was definitely sometimes in December 2010.

Flash forward (no pun intended) to November 9th, 2011 around 18:00 hour. I just got the confirmation for a meeting with this Adobe Senior Vice President a few weeks from today.

I would have a good 120 minutes to talk to him on multiple subjects. Now, what topics should I discuss with him?

Having fun with EasyPay at Apple Store.

I went to Apple Store earlier today to test out their newly rolled out EasyPay. The EasyPay requires Apple Store app with iPhone 4 or iPhone 4S.

I walked into Apple Store, South Coast Plaza and saw the little signs by the merchandize.

I then took my iPhone out and launched Apple Store app. Immediately it gave me the option to use EasyPay.

Unfortunately I really don’t have anything to buy at the Apple Store.

Well, the next time I really need to buy something from Apple Store I will use EasyScan, if possible. They don’t allow EasyPay to buy a MacBook Pro yet, for some obvious reasons.

Funny.

Little Ham and Meatloaf.

Little Ham, a none more than 4 week old kitten which was abandoned by its mommy cat. Little Ham as affectionately called by 3-year-old Jacob, was in a bad shape when it was first rescued. Little Ham is now eating and walking around the room.

Little Ham sometimes takes a nap with Meatloaf T. Cat.

Little Ham needs a loving home.

700 miles down, 160 miles to go.

I left for Los Angeles, California from Boise, Idaho early this morning. A lot of pictures taken along the way, some are totally unusable, some are fine and some I am really happy with.

The weather was good despite of being cold. It was only as low as 16 degree Fahrenheit.

In the middle of the trip, the Virgin Mobile MiFi stopped working. I had to rely on my phones for Internet access.

Idaho, Oregon and Nevada; I am now back in California. There are 160 more miles to go till I get home. My colleague and I took turns driving. So far we’re pretty much on time.

It’s roughly a 860-mile trip from Idaho to California. Great view along the mountains.

To Apple Store, Boise Towne Square. Sorry for hogging your bandwidth.

I went to Apple Store, Boise Towne Square to download iOS 5 for my iPhone. I could try downloading iOS 5 through Virgin Mobile Mi-Fi or AT&T 3G, but it would be slow and seriously deplete my data quota. As I arrived, I immediately proceeded to download iOS 5 for the iPhone and iPad 2. While enjoying close to 5Mbps download, my colleague told me that he was having terrible Internet speed on other Mac in the store. Is it possible that I just hogged the bandwidth at the Apple Store? After finishing the download, my colleague told me that the Internet was usable again.

To Apple Store, Boise Towne Square, please accept my apology. I did really download iOS 5 for my iPhone and iPad 2.
