Anything Goes: June 22nd, 2009 Edition.
It’s Monday and I feel fine. It’s not even close to the end of the world.
News from the series of tubes:
- Source Code to UAC Injection Flaw Released (OSNews) | Bad news for Windows 7. Microsoft better get this fixed quickly if they think that this i important. Ah well, I’m gonna stick with Windows XP. Take that Paul Thurrott (a.k.a. Microsoft P.R.).
- Apple Sells Over One Million iPhone 3GS Models (Apple) | Is that iPhone 3G S or iPhone 3GS? More importantly, the press release quoted Steve Jobs who is due to be back at Apple this June. The news about Steve Jobs’ liver transplant was first reported by The Wall Street Journal.
- Apple’s ‘Find My iPhone’ works great, but thieves can easily disable (CNET) | I submitted the same concern to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/.

Happy Father’s Day and Summer Solstice!

Facebook App is Now iPhone OS 3.0 Compliant.
It’s almost morning and I’m still awake. Lo and behold, Facebook App is now iPhone OS 3.0 compliant. OK, there’s nothing else going on before the dawn. Apparently it is some kinda Father’s Day today.
OK seriously, I need to get some sleep!
Anything Goes: June 20th, 2009 Edition.
Slacking is good, as I’ve been convincing myself. It’s Saturday and I’m still reading stuff off the internet.
First I’ve finished installing new hard drive on my MacBook Pro Core Duo, 20 minutes after I stareted it. Along the way I also managed to “fix” my keyboard. For a few days I’ve been having lots of typoes including the letter “t.” Apparently a drop of liquid caused the “g, r, and y” key to trigger the “t” key. I’m glad it is fixed now.
- About the 1st generation iPhone/push notification post: an apology (TUAW) | TUAW was quick to jump to conclusions.
- Microsoft confirms Nvidia ‘Tegra’ chip for Zune HD (CNET) | Pretty powerful chip from NVIDIA. Note to CNET: It is “Hybrid Digital” Radio, not “High-Definition” Radio.
- Smart fish discovered in Europe (worldarea.info) | I for one welcome our fish overlord.
- New Kids on the Block blame lousy ticket sales on recession (WalletPop) | Are you sure that recession is to blame? New Kids on The Block is now a novelty-cash-grabbing-reunion-act. It is a simple supply-and-demand situation.
Time to slack again.
iPhone 3G S: Reports from Orange County, California.
People are arriving at South Coast Plaza in Costa Mesa around 4:00 in the morning. The doors are not open yet, so people are lining up outside.
Doors open, people are walking in.
The line is split in two. One for those who had started the process online (reserved line) and the other for those who have not done so.
Side note:
A glitch during the reservation process did not save my reservation. I pre-ordered one on June 8th, 2009.
So close and yet so far.
Apple Store Concierge is helping customer starting the pre-qualification process.
A reporter asking people some questions.
The store opens earlier than scheduled. People are getting their iPhone 3G S.
iTunes App Store: Application Rating
With the official release of iPhone OS 3.0, Apple has added ratings to iPhone Apps.
For example, search for “nin: access” in the iTunes App Store. It will show the ratings for the apps if available.
Many has speculated that Apple would ease the App-submission process once the rating system is well implemented.
