This is continued from http://youwillbeforever.blogspot.com6. I guess that the "ONE MORE THING" for this event will be APPLE TV 2.0wirelessly connecting to your IPOD.7. That means a new feature of the IPOD is BLUETOOTH. That's anotherguess.8. It will also have an FM Radio, despite Steve's resistance. This isnot MY GUESS. This came from someone else.9. Another "ONE MORE THING" that may need it's own event -- is a newAPPLE NOTEBOOK that's superthin and superpowered. We'll see the newimac keyboard used in a notebook this time.10. Now what would stop this ipod from having a camera?On Thursday, we'll see. Tell me if I'm wrong or rig...

Keyboard WishList

So the Apple has a new keyboard with a better design. And theOptimus(?:!) Keyboard is still a pipe dream that will probably sell for5000 USD because if all those LEDS.What I really want in a LAPTOP keyboard is:1. Coolness. I don't want it to heat up like in this Compaq Nc6400. Myfinger tips are heating up because the keys are HOT too!. So is thetouch pad.2. Obvious colored keycaps or indicators for functions like PRINTSCREEN- which on this nc6400 takes 3 keys - that I had to put little POST ITcut outs beside the keys because I don't have to remember w/c keys topress to invoke a "PRINT SCREEN THIS WINDOW ONLY" function.3. A LARGE ENTER button like in the old IBM 8086 XT Keyboards. I don'tneed a wide |\ (pipe) key. I use the ENTER key more often.4. A way to create ANY APPLICATION shortcuts using...

You won't be able to use all that IPOD space!

Whoever said that it's no good to get a large capacity mp3 player whenyou can synch everyday probably has no use for a computer.When the ipod synchs to the music library is slows down the PC andmakes it not very usable for the time being.Couple that with podcast downloading while synching and you'll have athoroughly unusable machine.Therefore if you have a 4GB nano but have a 100 GB music collection,this is not a good combination - specially if you run through that 4GB pretty quickly during the day and want fresh music tomorr...

When you have a new MACBook -- its love!

Guia has a new white macbook. She's so in love with it that she'sbehaving like someone who just had a new boyfriend. She's still thinkingof giving it a name. During the Think Rich Pinoy seminar we just conducted-she always cameback to where it was and typed or did something with it. The new macscome with the remote control (that looked like a version 1 ipod Shuffle)& we tried using powerpoint with it. No dice. THe powerpoint wouldn't respond to the remote. She could makethe powerpoint into a Quicktime movie (Can you do that Windows?) andplay/pause the movie using the remote control.I told her about Keynote, w/c was the presentation software of choice(read: macgeeks) on a mac. I knew that worked with the remote.I tried it and it worked! Couldn't find where the slide transitionswhere though...

Asus Eee Notebook that's 10,000 pesos, where art thou?

Villman just opened in the Robinson's Pioneer branch. Finally themanagement of Robinson's noticed that if they're located near a large ITfirm (behind the mall) - the stores in the mall should reflect the"geek" mind.One of these stores is Villman.Others would be:Music StoresCell Phone Stores (service centers is more like it)IT Magazine StoreA Book Sale StoreComics StoreFashionable Clothes Stores (not the stuff found in the dept store)But really what I'm hoping to see and purchase OFF THE SHELF - in aheartbeat - is the P 10,000 4GB notebook from Asus, called the "Eee",hopefully it's already loaded with a flavor of Linux that once I chargeit I can immediately use it inside the Robinson's Malls (w/c has freeWifi).So EEE, Where Art Thou?This post is NOT SPONSORED by Asus or Robinson's. I wish they...

Are PCs with Centrino Duo Processors really fast? What's the catch if they are?

I've been using a Centrino Duo Notebook by HP (model nc 6400) for 2months now and I can attest that it hasn't really slowed down on me. Soit's fast alright.The thing is --its SOOO HOT on the keyboard, on the touch pad--even thewrist rest --and I can only fix it by using the free http://www.EYP.PHUSB electric fan (free plug!) to keep my fingers from being baked.So this is what it feels. I know people who use desktops won'texperience the heat on their finger tips - because there's no"power/heat" behind the keyboard. I do bet though, that the room they'rein heats up quickly.This is the reason why I want an IMAC Keyboard for my PC. Think of it! Iget to enjoy the tactile MACNESS of the keyboard while trying to pressthe WINDOWS-D to see my deskt...

Got a Haircut discovered a podcast

Got a haircut at the "VV" in Galeria. It's a forgettable name for a salon so SORRY! I'm no paris hilton but I could be a name dropper too. While there - I browsed a copy of GQ - the men's magazine that's soo full of ads I was turning and turning looking for something to read.Then the GC Podcasts caught my eye. I'm into podcasting, you can hear my voice in some of Yuga's tech podcasts and my own Ultradust Podcasts of old.I really don't "read" GQ, but I'm finding that their humor is the same level as that of ESQUIRE specially when they're talking about men's fashion mistakes or manners mistakes. Makes me suspect that the editors and writers of these magazines are not men. They're not women even. Haha...

Down with Burlington Socks! Go Marks and Spencers.

My laundry's late. So I decided to get new clothes for the next twodays. Of course those who will be meeting me these days will be cluelessthat I'll be wearing unwashed (but new) clothes! But I made a mistake, I got 3 burlington socks:http://www.burlingtonsocks.com. I used to use these in my first X yearsof working and they did fine. However, I can't remember how it happened, I stopped using Burlingtonand switched to Marks and Spencer's "Most Comfortable Socks in theWorld". I'm sorry that's probably NOT the brand name of these socks butsince they're unmarked and the garters really grip your calves (now,these are not young cows)- for months -- I decided to buy only thesefrom now on.Problem was the Marks and Spencer at Galleria didn't carry socks--that's why I wound up buying Burlington.Bad...

A virus ate my internet (TCPIP.sys)

This morning I woke up to an antivirus warning. TCPIP.SYS contains aTrojan, do you want to clean? Of course I said yes and the anti-virusdutifully ERASED the file. Of course all geeks know that this SYS fileenables you to connect to the internet. I knew the computer would lookfor it eventually. So that's what it did! Soon a message flashed: Missing Component orsomething. I entered one of my Windows XP CDs and tried it. Sorry can't find thefile.I tried reinstalling the Windows XP Network Components Only and thatworked.However, the internet still isn't working!So I called up my ISP's tech support for t-shooting. Bottomline:REFORMAT your machine sir! I took that cheerfully and started going thruthe motions reinstalling Windows XP. This is par for the course sothere's no panic -and a clean system...
