iPhone 4S Siri Failed!

Sunday, October 16th, 2011

While many are excited on iPhone 4S Siri, a Japanese proved it failed to recognize Japanese English!

Siri demo below shows the Siri keep on asking “which Linda?” when the guy want to know the weather. :)

I expect people to talk more than ever with this iPhone 4S Siri voice assistant. Just wonder how accurate can Siri recognize Malaysian’s English?

Apple iPhone 5 is on Fire ?!

Wednesday, September 28th, 2011

The iPhone main manufacturer Foxconn factory (Shandong,China) is on Fire! This is not the first time Foxconn on fire.

Although no death reported, we doubt on the environmental, security and safety control of Foxconn.

Many spread the rumors that the upcoming iPhone 5 that said to be release on 4 October (next week) will be delay! Apple fan sad :(

But the fact is Apple iPhone is not produce at this Foxconn Shandong! It is mainly build in Foxconn ShenZhen and ChengDu ! :)

PS: In fact I suspect it is just smoke props to make some rumors and attention to iPhone 5 release. What do you think?

Unbox Apple Mac Mini 2011

Sunday, September 25th, 2011

I’m so excited when received phone call from DHL that our Mac mini 2011 has arrived, sent by Apple Online!

Instead of waiting for them to send to my door step, I prefer to collect myself to make sure it on my hand in shortest time :)

The smallest desktop – Apple Mac mini 2011 as below. What you see is what you get, no extra no less. Not even a keyboard or mouse!

But its tiny size with aluminum body is pretty Amazing!

Yes, I have no choice to buy a normal windows keyboard and mouse in combo pack. The Apple magic mouse and wireless keyboard are too expensive for me! (more…)

The New Mac Mini 2011

Tuesday, September 13th, 2011

Guess what? I’ve ordered a new Mac mini 2011 for my wife! This is part of the “convert PC to Mac plan” for my wife unintentionally.

Why Buy Mac Mini ?

It is not because my wife is Apple lover. In fact, she is Apple hater! She feel hard to learn Mac OS basics and prefer to stick on frequent use Windows software such as 美图秀秀, 迅雷, and those Chinese software!

Then why I buy Mac mini? The reason is the Dell Inspiron Zino HD that I bought just 2 weeks dead in mission! And it was on Sunday night when no one there to support normal home user.

I troubleshoot it at my own and found the Seagate SATA HDD totally gone! Fortunately I have a set of photo backup, if not couldn’t imagine the loses. Call Dell on Monday and they refuse to pay to recover my data (business data still inside!). Finally I decided to return the hardware and request for refund!

Dell product really gave me BAD impression! Immediately I think of my Macbook that run steadily without problem for 2 years ( even the battery still survive for a few hours).

Of course the main reason is I want to convert my wife to Mac and enjoy the robust and fun of the application, not struggle on the hardware itself! (more…)

MY iPhone 4 Plan: Digi or Maxis Better?

Thursday, September 30th, 2010

I should post this earlier, now has become a late news.  Two Malaysia big telco Digi and Maxis launched our long awaited iPhone 4G four days ago.

So at the end iPhone 4G has officially landed in Malaysia. Happy? Yes, for iPhone fans. But headache which plan to choose!

Digi or Maxis Plan?

First of all, compare to Singapore Apple this plan is not attractive. But first thing you must have a friend in SG that willing to keep the iPhone for you. If you have, then go for it at just SGD 888 (~RM2044) WITHOUT contract! If not, you have no choice to go for local Telco.

Look at Digi plan, iPhone 4G 16GB selling at RM2090 with monthly lowest plan RM58 for two years. The total cost will be (RM2090 + RM1392 {RM58x24}=RM3482). Of course the price include monthly unlimited Internet and 200 mins voice call.

Compare apple to apple, Maxis selling iPhone 4G 16GB at RM1390 with monthly lowest plan RM100 for two years. Hence the total cost is (RM1390 + RM2400 {RM100x24}=RM3790). The free local calls has longer time 333 mins with limited Internet bandwidth 1GB a month.
