Apple has just announced the long awaiting tablet device. The name change from iTablet to iSlate and finally officially announced as Apple iPad (not iPod huh). It is buzzing on the Internet these few days.

As expected, it is just a huge version of iPhone without phone call function. Of course t has bigger screen and faster processor, other than that I don’t see the reason to buy this gadget. Let’s go through the specs first:

  • Processor: 1GHz Apple A4
  • Display: 9.7-inch (diagonal) LED-backlit
  • Capacity: 16GB, 32GB, or 64GB
  • Connectivity: WiFi-n, Bluetooth 2.1, UTMS/HSDPA/GSM/EDGE (optional)
  • Sensor: Accelerometer, Ambient light sensor
  • Others: Digital Compass, A-GPS

The iPad is featuring 1Ghz Apple processor with nearly 10-inch screen with up to 1024×768 resolutions. Other than this, I can’t find more reason to buy it. Instead, I have 10 reasons why NOT to buy iPad! (more…)

Adsense For Domain is Working?

Thursday, January 28th, 2010

Yes, it works a little. I posted how Adsense for Domain failed to make money online for more than 9 months. But in this month itself, it has made me some impressions with a few bucks earning.

Just less than $3 bucks on that day itself, not even enough to pay for the domain name next year. Perhaps the ads are interesting enough to attract more clicks. The Page eCPM is extremely high, so a click make much different.

The expiry date is coming soon (50 days to go). If it earn $7 within this 50 days, I’ll then renew it for the next one year.If not, just forget it! How is your Adsense for Domain doing? ;)

Sorry to say I have to uninstall Avast 5.0 antivirus and install Panda Cloud Free Antivirus. Why? Avast detected a virus in my PC but can’t remove it even I did a boot time scan.

Panda Cloud antivirus is the first Cloud Antivirus, and most important it is Free! What is cloud antivirus? Unlike traditional antivirus that need download virus update and scan locally, this does NOT require virus update!

Low Memory and CPU Usage

Instead, it scan via the cloud aka remote servers through Internet connection. Which means it always scan with the latest virus pattern with minimum memory and CPU usage on local computer.

I’m not going to write full review on it. It has been reviewed by LiewCF, you may find more details and installation tips here. (more…)
