Dear Intel, what the hell are you thinking?

Intel teams hires will.i.am of Black Eyed Peas fame as “director of creative innovation.”

I am not a corporate-minded person so I would never understand why Intel would do so.

Why will.i.am of Black Eyed Peas?

  • Carlos Mencia is not available.
  • Kanye West is too expensive.
  • Kid Rock is too busy hanging out with strippers.
  • (insert remarks here)

I posted this because:

  • I am running out of ideas of what to write today.
  • I am actually sick with a cold.
  • There are other news, but it takes a lot of time to write about and this one is too easy.
  • Two of the above.

Back to bed.

Apple Store Goes Offline, White iPhone 4 Rumor Goes Wild.

UPDATE:
Apple Store is back online, and I win the bet. Take that MacRumors and 9to5Mac!

Screen Recording of the Apple site during the update.

Apple Store goes offline and some Apple-centric sites are speculating that the White iPhone 4 is coming.

One thing that I know for sure is that Apple Webmasters are uploading new designs to the site including a few new CSS files. There’s a lot of animations on Apple site now. For example, the main page has the top navigation bar animated when the page load in Safari.

I bet there will be no White iPhone 4 added to the store. Should I lose the bet, I’d buy the White iPhone 4 sans the contract.

Today’s word is: Irony

Family Guy introduced new character Joyce Kinney the episode “Excellence in Broadcasting” as the replacement to Diane Simmons who was killed in the episode “And Then There Were Fewer.” The character Joyce Kinney is voiced by Christine Lakin.

So, where’s the irony? Get to the point!

Christine Lakin’s website is an irony in Web design.

Click on the picture for full resolutions of the screen capture.

Notice the nice iPhone design on Lakin’s website? It looks gorgeous.

So, I don’t see anything wrong with it. What’s your point?

Here it is:

Here’s another one:

The site is Flash-based! You can’t view the site on the iPhone while it has iPhone in the design.

Note to Christine:
Your site needs a new design.
If you need to complain to me in person, call Smart Entertainment (John Jacobs’ office) and show this to Mr. Turner. He can find me.
No, Seth McFarlane has nothing to do with this post or any writings on most Family Guy episodes. He got his own writing staff.

Apple Mail.app and MobileMe Junk Filter need a lot of work.

Apple Mail.app and MobileMe Junk Filter need a lot of work. On daily basis, I mark too many of obviously junk mail on Mail.app and MobileMe such as the ones from bluesquareframe.com and LOL messaging. Gmail and and Yahoo! Mail junk filter work a lot better than the one Mail.app and MobileMe service have.

I saw this in my Mail.app:

An email from an Apple Store with a sales receipt was automatically marked as Junk by Mail.app. That is so ironic.

Apple needs to improve the Junk Mail Filter for MobileMe service. There are enough complaints from users that their MobileMe mail does not filter junk mail as it should. Apparently marking those mail as junk does not seem to improve the junk mail filter algorithm.
