According to one of the Administrators of MacTalk forums, resellers have been provided with info regarding the iPhone by Apple Australia. And… The good news is, it’s not gonna be locked to one carrier! The iPhone is also going to be released in Australia last week of June.
So what does all this mean? If the 3G iPhone is going to be announced in WWDC 2008, which is going to be in the first week of June, it means Australia is getting 3G iPhone for sure. Also, with no carrier lock, it could mean that 3G plans will get more competitive pricing.
Personally, I can’t wait for iPhone in Australia. Porn Web and Email on the go can prove to be useful at times.
Does this also mean that other countries will have factory unlocked iPhones when 3G version rolls out? What do you think?
At Gizmodo, there’s this Youtube post about this famous Sg blogger (Xiaxue) reviewing both the fake and real iPhone. She was initially tricked into thinking that the fake iPhone was actually real. What the f**k? How stupid can you get. The fake iPhone had a dodgy start-up music and it looked like a brick that can kill your neighbour’s dog.
Anyway, I actually thought the video was hilarious. I laughed a few times throughout the video. She actually had trouble using the on-screen keyboard, saying that iPhone sucks because she couldn’t use it with her long nails. I had the impression that she’s either too dumb to use her thumbs or she’s just trying to find every possible way to shit the Apple products (she stated that she hate Mac users).
Towards the end of the video, she concludes that the fake iPhone is “not bad for a shitass China phone” and the real iPhone is just “mediocre”.
A lot of people ask me if Mac’s are actually good and do I recommend them on getting one. I would tell them it depends on a few factors such as do they wanna play the latest and greatest games.
I created a simple flow chart to help you make your decision. I hope you find much use with it. Enjoy!
Looking for a working version of Adblock Plus for your Firefox 3 Beta 5? Then head on to the Development Builds page and download the latest dev build (The dates may differ from the one you see on this screenshot). Enjoy!
Safari, Mac OS X’s default web browser. While Firefox is awesome in its own ways, Safari is not that bad at all. Safari is in fact the fastest browser when it comes to Javascript load times (As of 28 March 2008). It even scored 100/100 in Acid3 test, even Firefox didn’t come close to that.
Ok, I’m not here to explain how good Safari is. I am here to introduce you two addons that can make your Safari more enjoyable.
First off, I’m pretty sure most people hate ads. In fact, I’m pretty annoyed when it comes to ads. Most ads are bogus, just like the ads on The Pirate Bay where random hot girl pictures are shown and the ads tell you that they actually live in your neighborhood.
BEFORE:
AFTER (Notice the Subway ad just disappeared!):
Introducing SafariBlock, say goodbye to ads forever. You won’t miss a single ad when every website that you visit look clean and tidy, free of ads. SafariBlock works on both normal ads and Flash ads.
The next addon is actually a pretty cool one, and a time saver. This addon will change your perspective on search engines forever.
Introducing Inquisitor, this addon allows you to type your search queries in your usual search box, and BAM! Search results come out just right after, in a cool black dialog on the bottom of the search box. You can navigate to the search results with the arrow keys, or with your mouse.
This addon is one of the main reasons why I made Safari my main browser on my Mac. It’s plain awesome. I can do multiple searches and find what I want quickly. Heck, it even suggests different search queries, on the bottom of your search results. On the other hand, you can customize it to show a list of other search engines so you can quickly make searches of the same query on other search engines (On the screenshot it’s only showing Flickr and Amazon, but the list can be customized for more than that).
This addon is a definite must-have for keyboard warriors. By far the best addon made for Safari. Highly customizable and useful.
