Rumors have been circulating around the Internet, blogs, twitter this few weeks about the tablet that will be announcing my Apple. Every year, at this time of the year, Apple will have an Apple event, announcing their latest stuff. Mostly, this time will be more on software and a little on hardware, probably not iPhone or iPod.

So, Apple maybe talking about

  • the iPhone’s carrier.
  • the iPhone OS 4.0.
  • Apple Tablet! (named iPad? iSlate?)

In addition, I hope they will update the line of MacBooks with new processor. Very excited about it. The live coverage will be cover by a few tech blog tomorrow at 1am Malaysian Time (28th January 2010) or 10am Pacific Time (27th January 2010).

Impression of Apple Magic Mouse

IMG_1859 by nicholaschan

Apple Magic Mouse is pretty. My friend who is working at an Apple store here in my place told me that it’s out of stock at the moment.

After trying out the mouse in the store, it’s pretty but it still doesn’t feel as good as a huge mouse that I am using, it’s only pretty and special with the button less button. It scroll with a feel, right click with a feel but I can’t do pinch and rotate yet, any idea how?

One of the thing that Apple announced in their Rock and Roll event last week in San Fransisco is the release update of iTunes 9. Well, it’s not very interesting to hear about software update at such event, I would like to see more on gadgets. =)

Since the Internet was so good lately, so downloading the new update just took a while for me. You can actually spot some different if you are on Windows. On my side, it’s faster than before on my machine, I’m not sure whether do you notice it or not, some told me that it’s still the same but it’s really faster on my side.

Home Sharing is a new thing which allow you to share your iTunes Music Store downloads with few computer of the same iTunes account. I don’t really use this because I don’t buy music or anything from iTunes Music Store.

iTunes Music Store redesigned, better looking now. I login just to look for podcast and application, I am still on the no-side for buying music online.

One thing I like is the Applications management for the iPod touch and iPhone. You can now pick which app to sync and which page to place your app. Good one.

There’s still some other update like Genius Mixes and I-don’t-know-what-else because I don’t really bother a lot about it, I only use it for music andsyncing my iPod. But iTunes is the best music software in the world, true.

Download iTunes 9.

Apple iPhone 3G TV ads on Malaysia TV

I was watching the TV just now and surprisingly, I saw iPhone 3GS TV ad by Maxis during the commercial break. We don’t really see a lot of tech related TV ads here in Malaysia and Maxis brought it to us. It’s cool man.

Macbook to HDTV

How do I connect a White Macbook to the Samsung 32″ HDTV without DVI cable but HDMI cable?

IMG_3888

It’s all done with 3 things. The Display Port to DVI adapter, then the DVI to HDMI cable and in the end the Belkin HDMI cable which connect straight to the TV’s HDMI input.

It’s running like a charm without any setting. There’s no need any setting with the Macbook. One of the good of the Mac is it detect external display automatically and no need to change the display setting. I now watches high def MKV movie with VLC Player on via the Mac on my TV, running at 1368×768 resolution. Pretty!

An Asian version of PlayStation 3 40GB. I am not really interested with the games, he got Grid, Assassin Creed, Dragonball, Civilization, Tom Clancy:Hawk, Fifa Street 2, Army of 2 and Lumines Supernova and Flower in the hard disk. I like Flower and Luminues Supernova, it’s mini game and simple which = to fun.

The TV is a Samsung 32″ 720p HD TV, unfortunately it’s not full HD.

White 2.4Ghz MacBook. It’s an all time beauty. I love Mac but I am still waiting to get one. Perhaps I will have one when I go into college next year. The clock is a Pixel Saturn II clock what I bought in Guangzhou for 190RMB. Pretty right?
