AOL toolbar suggests users to disable “unwanted” toolbars.

How about this, uninstall all toolbars including AOL toolbar.

About that beeping noise.

If you are a Verizon FiOS customer and happen to hear beeping noise that is not coming form your smoke detector alarm,check your FiOS battery backup.

First you could reset the battery backup unit by unplugging the power and disconnecting the battery. If the “Replace Battery” light still on, then call Verizon customer service or technical support.

I forgot about that leap day.

One thing I just remembered today about one year warranty. One year is defined as 365 days. So if you bought an iPad 2 on March 11th, 2011 the one year warranty expires on March 9th, 2012.

Luckily AppleCare Customer Service Representative is so nice to help me register the AppleCare agreement that I purchased months ago. I just forgot to register it or even to keep the receipt.

Thanks AppleCare.

The Retina Display Debate.

I’ve heard em both. Within Apple there are those who want to call it “Retina Display” and there are who adamantly don’t. “Retina Display” is a marketing term.

Within Apple, the proponent believes the double pixel density should be called retina display. The opponent do not want to do so because the definition of “Retina Display” had to be changed. There is no doubt the double density pixels on the next iPad display looks better than great. It does not need the “Retina Display” marketing gimmick. Apple can simply say the next iPad has a high resolution display; iPad users will love it.

According to different source, some high level employees who report directly to Scott Forstall and Phil Schiller are coming back from their visit to Foxconn China factories. There are movement in the productions, one can safely guess that it is related to the March 7th, 2012 iPad event.
