Adobe Says “No” to Apple and Turns Focus on Google’s Android!

Posted on April 21, 2010 by max

Apple has recently blocked Adobe’s Flash CS5 from its apps store.  Adobe Flash CS5 basically turns flash apps into iPhone apps much easily than using iPhone’s C++ SDK.   If Apple had decided to do this before many app developers have even begun to use Flash CS5 it would be understandable but their message is clear, Apple doesn’t like Adobe.

This being the case, Adobe has recently announced that they will no longer be supporting Flash CS5 for iPhone app development.

I think this is a good move on Adobe’s part as Apple has been going around the world, c

Steve Jobs Talking to Eric Schmidt in Palo Alto!

Steve Jobs and Eric Schmidt Spotted Together Again

Well, here’s some good news, Steve Jobs of Apple and Eric Schmidt of Google has been spotted talking together in Palo Alto.  I am guessing they are probably talking about Apple’s recent lawsuit to HTC.  With all that has gone wrong, I believe these two people can work it out like real people instead of hiding behind lawyers.

I can’t really see any benefits if this Apple-HTC lawsuit keeps going, it’s a lose-lose situation really fo

For those of you who appreciate the first Mac back in January 24th, 1994 as seen in this video:

You will certainly appreciate the efforts of this modder who shows you how to turn a 1984 Macintosh original into a Snow Leopard OSX-running, revamped Macintosh.

Of course, it does mean you will have to swap out most of the parts like a brain surgeon but if you ask me, it’s definitely worth every effort.

The original Macintosh took the the world by storm with its small form factor, and above standard speeds. Thi

One of the drawbacks of buying Apple products is probably its over-priced repair costs.   For those of you who’s Apple Time Capsule has gone bad and your warranty expired, you might want to try fixing it yourself.

Get your case put together, plug everything in, hook the drive to your computer before you turn on the power to your drive.  After being dead for more than a week, my time capsule(which I named The Delorean)

Apple has been doing so much to keep their competition at the bay including making their Apple earbud remotes to be undecipherable.  Well, there’s a hack for that, check out this great article that shows you how to reverse engineer the Shuffle remote control. #AppleFAIL

In March 11th, 2009, Apple introduced the third generation iPod shuffle. Shortly thereafter, criticism[1] was raised regarding the presence of a proprietary chip inside the shuffle headphones, said by some to be an auth

Is Apple Evil? – USB Banned from App Use!

Posted on February 9, 2010 by max

Recently, an iPhone app Stanza was threatened by Apple to remove its USB connectivity feature to load books onto the iPhone.  We think that this will create a rather big mouth-crunching bite into Apple’s mobile book sales.  **sarcastic**

These are the times when I just don’t feel like buying any Apple products and this is why I still haven’t bought an Apple product since my last purchase of an iPod Touch 2 years back.

Of course, Apple needs to keep making money but let’s not forget the 90s when Apple’s proprietary software development caused the

Apple iPad – 2010 Crapware of the Year Award!

Posted on January 27, 2010 by max

video://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YFNQE_TzQNI&feature=player_embedded

Among many things that should be supported on the new Apple iPad, there’s some important key features missing such as lack of Flash support and Multi-tasking.

Are you kidding me?  Why would I want to buy a touchscreen netbook that can’t browse YouTube or even switch between reading my e-mail, browsing web and other programs?

I hope Apple does some serious thinking in re-designing their iPad, perhaps start with a name change first.

Apple Refuses to Return a Stolen iPhone! [Um…]

Posted on January 1, 2010 by max

Um… Apple… please return the iPhone to its right owner and stop being a dick about it:

I got robbed on the subway in Brooklyn about 2 weeks ago, my iPhone (and some other crap)was taken. I called the police who were very helpful , they searched the area for a little bit, follow protocol and all that fun stuff.

Anyways, fast forward to yesterday when I get a email from Apple that someone had filed a request for a replacement phone due to a software malfunction from Apple CareService. I suspected that since I made an appointment with an Apple genius before, the Seria

Apple – Steve Jobs Takes $1 Salary! (Again)

Posted on December 24, 2009 by max

Steve Jobs takes another dollar (or bite) from his company Apple this year as his yearlong 2009 salary.  Of course, don’t forget his company stocks are worth about $1.1 billion.

Also note this year Steve Jobs takes only $4000 in company expenses compared to last year’s $871K last year.

Apart from Steve Jobs being plain evil making iPods proprietary music format (instead of MP3) and that iPhones are “still” on AT&T’s network (
