Is this a Fake or Real Apple Store in China

Published by in apple, backpack, China on August 1st, 2011

There are so many news on fake Apple store mushrooming all around China and why should anyone be surprised with these news? If they can create fake tau fu, why not an Apple Store? So I was on a backpacking trip in China in April and I was telling Angeline we should visit the Apple Store in Beijing if time permited. It didn’t happen. We went to Datong then to Pingyao and then to Xi’an. If you didn’t know, Xi’an is famous for it’s Terracotta Warriors. Upon arriving to Xi’an, guess what greeted me instead? An Apple Store. I was thinking Wow Apple must be banging on all cylinders to expand in China. I immediately went into the store with my friends and everything looks exactly like the actual Apple Store set up except for one thing. The price. It was more expensive by a few hundreds of ringgit. I took this opportunity to snap photos. Later I sent it to my bosses of Switch(Apple Premium Reseller). I got a reply a few hours later from John. It then hit me. I actually walked into a fake Apple Store in Xi’an, China. All in all, an average person would not

iOS 4.2: Now you can track your bf/gf

Published by in apple, iphone on November 23rd, 2010

If you didn’t know already, Apple released iOS 4.2.1 earlier today which is the first time where all iDevices get the same update, yes including iPad. I realized the firmware alone was almost double the size of 4.1 and having such a crappy internet connection, i downloaded the firmware manually using a download accelerator. These are the links for each of the iDevices: iPhone 4 iPhone 3GS iPhone 3G iPad iPod touch 2G iPod touch 3G iPod touch 4G Of course before anything else is done, please do backup your device and also update iTunes to 10.1. New features in 4.2 are Find iPhone, AirPrint, AirPlay and little tweaks here and there. I am more interested in Find iPhone. Once updated, the first thing that is visible is a new app called Find iPhone. Previously this was a paid service but now it’s free for all current devices (iPhone 4, iPod touch 4th gen, iPad). First up, go to Settings and under Mail, Contacts & Calendar, choose Add Account and tap on Mobile Me. Put in your Apple ID username and password to activate. You will be shown this page after that and turn on Find My iPhone. So what

Best Camera App for iPhone

Published by in apple, iphone, photography on November 12th, 2010

Recently some one asked me what do i use to snap my recent photos. It’s not like I am promoting Phone but it’s the only mobile device I have as of now and of course with the vast Applications available in the AppStore, it has a slight edge compared to many other phones out there. Having an entry level DSLR myself, I have always come to a point where I ask myself if I should carry my camera bag with me. It all started with my previous iPhone 3Gs where I relied heavily on Camera+ app until Apple decided to pull the plug when it breached it’s agreement. Having filters on an app is just a plus point but wasn’t a necessity for me. All I wanted was an application that would help with the shaking and if possible white balance. ProCamera application is more than what I asked for. Focus Point: Just like the native camera app, it’s tap to focus but what differs is the exposure. Exposure: Now you have full control of the exposure by selecting the object that you would want the exposure to be based on. On native camera app, HDR is used to counter

iPhone 4: Maxis better? Digi cheaper? Who to go for?

Published by in apple, iphone, ponders on September 23rd, 2010

I know it’s not one of the best photo shopped pictures out there but as long as it serves it’s purpose, hehehe. There’s so much news, tweets, facebook updates regarding iPhone4 lately. Malaysia finally will be getting this phone, along with China, Philippines, Thailand and even Turkey. People have been asking me as well, who to go for? Digi? or Maxis? During the last model, iPhone 3Gs Digi had the obvious cheaper package. I was then stuck to my current contract to Maxis thus all i had to do was wait for the next launch. Now that its finally here and after comparing both plans, i honestly couldn’t decide which was cheaper and so i typed out all on Excel to compare. You see for me data plan is very important, like super important. Why? Cause i have been getting screwed on and off by Maxis billing department for exceeding my allocated bandwidth. Even when i’ve turned off my data under Settings. So that got me into a frenzy on whether i should just try out Digi or maintain where i am and probably fix a limit with Maxis. Now that there isn’t a common comparison except the allocated data

Frash ur GCB at MTV World Stage for Jetsetter Badge

Published by in blog on August 10th, 2010

The title has no meaning on it’s own. So don’t even bother deciphering what i meant. Hahaha. I had a bunch of key words that i wanted to put in my title and so i came up with the lamest way possible to link them up. Anyway here’s a short update on what will be posted up soon and what have I been up to for the past few weeks. I finally had my first GCB burger aka Grilled Chicken Burger and my verdict is ….. It’s aight. The price is the only major setback. If McDonalds could only replace McSpicy with GCB. Recently I had the chance to ride on an ATV thanks to a certain company that loves giving cheap deals. The colours of the ATV does not signify anything lol. I checked my blog thru my Safari in my iPhone and I saw large signs of Flash O.O! No no, no one is mocking about the inability to play flash on iDevices but I was trying out Frash which enables Flash. Not bad actually but I never bothered using flash on my phone. It all comes down to personal preference. MTV World Stage this year had Bunk

Annual Dinner 2008 @ E&O Penang

Published by in apple, dining, fun on January 29th, 2008

Yesterday marked the 3rd year of me being involved with Apple products. I couldn’t believe that time passed by that fast and it was just like yesterday when there’s only 10 or less in the entire team and right now there’s like 60 plus. Our annual dinner this time was held at E&O Penang and theme given was black/white for the guys and pink for the girls unlike last year where we had to dress up as professions. I took this opportunity to use my DSLR to the max and i ended up with 500 over pictures -_-” Of course not all turned out well. But i have to say that when you are equiped with a DSLR, people just tend to pose and wouldn’t mind if their pictures are taken. And this is regardless if you are noob or an expert I barely know how to use all the buttons on the camera and there i was snapping away like i have been doing it for years -_-” So please bear with my amateurish shots

Photo Hunters – Music

Published by in Uncategorized on September 8th, 2007

The theme for this week is music. I think as each week goes, it seems to get tougher for me So the first thing that pops in my head are my two beloved Nanos. Most of my music is stored in there and it definitely keeps me entertained on the go. Unfortunately, a few months back my brother took one of it and so did my dad. Now i left with my notebook -_-” I just can’t get my hands on the brand new iPod Touch. Or maybe the iPod classic with 80Gb/160Gb, it will definitely accommodate all my songs. Have a great weekend everybody ! and Alvin, thanks for reminding me
