Petition Against “New Facebook”, and Facebook responded

While any change to user interface will generally attract certain amount of criticism (think Microsoft Office 2007), the complaints usually die out after users figure it out and gets used to it.

iPhone Loot

Been waiting for the iPhone to go official for a looooong time. Now that it’s finally here, might as well get a good look at it.

To cook up the event, they’ve even brought in Darth Vader, a Sith and a couple of other hooded Star Wars characters to entertain the “crowd” when it’s show time…

Mac Life 1

Well, it had been about 10 months (since May’08) since I’ve been living with a Mac after about 14 years of using Windows as my main rig, and about 16 years living with Microsoft OS. So far, it had been a great experience…

The iPod Touch Blogging Experience

After seeing one of the random tips, I learn that there’s an app on iTunes that lets you post entries with your iPod Touch/iPhone. It was a rather pleasant little surprise to find out that iTunes is now open for Malaysia on my second try today. Wee~! But coming to think of it…
