iPhone OS 4.0 payback

lopau — Fri, 09 Apr 2010 05:43:11 +0000

Finally an update and same time sort like a paypack to Apple competitors who inherently main man Steve Jobs has bashed recently. I recall Steve Jobs bashing Adobe with their Flash Player calling them lazy that is why there is no native support for Flash on the iPhone or on the iPad, you need a compiler to run applications built on Adobe Air. But now seems things got more stricter. The update now limits Flash developers on the iPhone OS as the document API is strictly to languages the iPhone understand particularly C. So its a total lock out, now Adobe needs to get their lazy ass moving or they’ll get left behind specially since HTML 5 is on the rise.

Steve Jobs also is introducing iAds their own mobile advertising network, Google recently acquired AdMob for “$$$” 750 M which is the biggest mobile advertising network. Don’t expect Apple to just lie down and let Google get all the profits on ads accessed by iPhone users, it’s all business and kinda personal on another event Steve Jobs said we didn’t enter the search engine business, they entered the mobile business.

Well for the actual details of the iPhone 4.0 event, you can read it uptodate blogstream here.

Apple iPhone 3G now only $99.

With the upcoming release of the new iPhone 3G S this June 18. The classic iPhone 3G just dropped its price to a very reasonable $99. Too bad for those that just bought their iPhone 3G this past week like my friend in Dubai. That’s you Jaypee!!!

I also almost bought one last month when a promo from Globe offered my wife who has a post paid plan if she wanted a rebate or get an iPhone for P26,000. She didn’t accept right then and asks me first, when I said yes she tried to call again but the line was busy. We went to Globe center at the mall but they couldn’t offer us the same promo anymore cause it is only offered through the phone via promo. I felt bad last month but now feel relieved I didn’t get it, hehe. I might just buy one now online but I wonder if it can be made open line.

When to buy an Apple Product?

When to buy an Apple Product?

Just found a useful site. Don’t you just hate it when buying apple products that after getting the latest model after a month or two, the next release comes sooner than you think with new awesome features, leaving you with an older model. Well it happened to me before, I bought an Ipod Photo 60gb then soon after a week or two the Ipod Video came out. arrgh the angst.

If your contemplating buying any Apple products like a Mac Book Pro or IPhone 3g, etc. Check out this site first if it is the right time to buy, it’s rumor based but very informative.

MacBook Pro won’t boot(sniff)

lopau — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 16:23:36 +0000

Been using my MacBook Pro regularly for the past several months I even accidentally dropped it when my bag was not close properly and it slid out to floor 4-5 months ago once but still it runs perfectly well. Today after using it the battery got drained. I hooked up the charger and behold, it won’t boot. Just a black screen with the sleep mode indicator in the led blinking softly. After a quick Google search it appears this is common on MBP. There are several steps to try and troubleshoot.

Holding the power button for 10 seconds, I hear the disc churn and spin and I can hear the fan spinning, but the screen remains black.

And I have already tried the PRAM reset too- remove charger, remove power, then press power button for 5 seconds,then put battery back.

So far no luck.

I fear for the worst. The most last solution I read is to bring it to an apple support and I would likely get the response that the logic board is damaged. I don’t have the warranty or the receipt. I feel a flaw on Apple policy regarding these problem. If they know that this is common on MBP then under warranty or not, they should replace it.

In the meantime I’ll keep troubleshooting and update.
