Fire fire burning on your iPhone 4, oh oh!

Fire fire burning on your iPhone, oh oh!

It’s not an everyday story that Apple products got burned by Portgas D. Ace. But once in a blue moon, we still get some ‘idevice got burned or exploded’ news from nowhere. This just proves that there are no ‘0% defects’ in manufacturing, no matter how strict your QC is. Apple’s products getting faulty or malfunction is a common news for me, but a brand new iPhone 4 that got burned out of the blue is really shocking, considering the ‘just released’ status of the product.

Pandigital revolutionize our photo scanning experience

When I think of Photo Scanner, all that I can think of are those bulky flatbed scanners from Canon and Epson. I always thought of the possibility that we might see some compact scanners in the size of rods using rollover technique, or at least not that big like a flatbed. But it looks like the wait is over, all thanks to Pandigital. Read more…

LG soon to join Sony as Google TV hardware provider

Korea’s electronic giant LG has expressed interest in collaboration with Google for the Google TV. Simon Kang, the chief exec of LG’s Home Entertainment division, stated that ‘it fears that it will be left out as ‘only a typical electronic hardware provider’ instead of a wholly partner in the mammoth web-connected TV project from the Internet Search-Engine Giant’. If this move is taken, LG will be the second TV maker to announce Google TV support, behind early adopter and close-partner to Google’s Google TV project, Sony.

Consumer Report: The iPhone 4's no good. Apple: Buy the phon! Buy the phon!

Weeks ago, the Consumer Reports announced that they strongly recommend the Apple iPhone 4, saying that it’s the best smartphone out there. Funny that they would say such thing when, they’re a serious non-profit organization who does unbiased testing on products before releasing their definitive opinions, would release such statement even before testing it. Must have be the job of some fan boys in the group.

VirtualBox - Mac OS X on Windows

It is understandable that BootCamp is a great application to be in the Macintosh. The BootCamp made the Mac great to own. But it is hard for me to imagine why someone would one to have a Mac OS X on their Windows system. Yes, it might be cool to findle around the Macintosh if you’re a newbie, but then this does not seemed to be a ‘MUST’ for commoners. But still, it is great to have people going the odd way and try out some things that hardly anyone would usually thought of.
