So Apple announced its new tablet coined as the “iPad.” As usual Steve Jobs gets on stage with the same sweater and jeans, talks then demos the thing then the other guy comes up and so on. So I decided I’ll post some thoughts of mine after all the hype wears off a bit.

By the way, I’m not buying this thing but if you wanna send me one for free my hands are open

On to the thoughts..

I really dislike the name. Apple, you had choices and you picked the worst one! You had iStale, iTablet, iBook, but you picked iPad?! When you’re skimming through headlines, you can easily mistake it for ‘iPod’. Oh and what of the period jokes! They’ll just never end.

Why would I want to use this thing anyway? Steve Jobs said its between the smartphone and the laptop, I just see it as an iPhone with a different interface. I just can’t stress this enough! The iPhone can do everything it does plus take pictures and videos. So can laptops, and they’re just as portable. On the other hand, it can act as a backup. Now I’m not the kind of guy that moves around a lot but if you are, you might actually benefit from its 10hr battery life. I’m not saying the thing sucks, I just don’t see where it fits.

Hold on.. What made the iPhone so ‘WOW!’? The touchscreen, it was something no one had ever seen before. The scrolling, the pinching, the accelormeter, the large screen etc. Why didn’t Apple do something different with the iPad? Why is it running iPhone OS? Why not OS X if it’s ‘like a laptop’? Or even better, why not its own OS? Something like Microsoft’s Surface PC would’ve been cool. Just think about it, playing around with stuff like that; it would’ve been a whole new experience! People would’ve gone crazy because of all the hype, and Apple wins again. Should’ve been, could’ve been, would’ve been, but wasn’t.

Oh and why the with or without 3G option? This is just like the 4GB iPhone, it’s going to be discontinued.

Flash on the iPad is a biggie. Why no Flash? You want the ‘best browsing experience’? You gotta have flash. Save it Steve, a computer browser holds that spot. End of story.

We all know Twitter, and we all know what it’s about and how its eventually cure AIDS, cancer, and the next big disease; all with 140 characters! Cool, eh? Blogging on the other hand is much more.. complex, I guess.

So let’s get to the point..
Why?
(more…)

I started the theme a while back, and finished it now. Tell me what you think by either email, comments, or Twitter. Press Ctrl + F5 if you don’t see the changes.

Will be releasing it soon. I think.

Lets see, I haven’t posted in about 2 months. How do I start off.. Hi? Hi.

In theory I’m dead. Mentally that is. I won’t use the no time excuse because that one just doesn’t work. I’m just too lazy. There’s my explanation. End of story.

Now what have I been doing this whole time? Take a look at my Twitter profile for my latest rants, bitching phases and random things. Did I mention that I’m bored?

By the way, I will be posting more (or I’ll try) now because now I noticed the WordPress app which is beside the frequently-accessed app- TwitterFon. Yeah yeah I know, thats what he said last time. Did I mention that I’m very bored?

By the way, I’m cheering for the Lakers in the NBA Playoff. (Finals!)

Oh and I’ve got the iPhone OS 3.0 installed on my iPhone since beta 5. Will I be getting the new iPhone 3G S? Dunno.

Until next time, I’m sticking with 140 character messages.

You know those 140 character messages you send on Twitter? Yeah them. They’re called tweets and not twits.

Twits are pregnant goldfish. I don’t see how they have anything to do with birds and Twitter. Oh and just so you know, I think Twitter knows what they should be called.

Case closed.

It’s back!

Have you wondered what your day would be like without and etc.? Your messages would be boring and uh.. boring, correct?

Here’s a challenge for you- don’t use smiles for one day then email me your experience. I’ll be doing my no-smiley day tomorrow- April 9th 2009.

I got an email today from Aaron, telling me to take a look at what he’s done with my WordPress theme Capricorn. What awesome tweaks he’s made! Definitely worth checking out.

If you’ve downloaded Capricorn and have tweaked it (not simple tweaks like changing the font)- contact me and I’ll take a look at it [and possibly post it].

Now, you all remember Big-Show.NET, right? Okay- so I’ve had thoughts of re-opening it. Would you like to see it back?
