Samsung Galaxy S Sells over 300,000 Units in South Korea!

Posted on July 13, 2010 by max

Samsung Galaxy S, which debuted in South Korea couple months back by Samsung in their home country, sold over 300,000 units.  This certainly is a good sign since South Korea is a small country (where I am from) and I would expect they would sell more of these units worldwide, especially here in the U.S. with the launch of T-Mobile Samsung Vibrant, Sprint Epic 4G, AT&T Samsung Captivate, and Verizon’s Samsung Fascinate, all of which are variants of the original Galaxy S Android smartphone.

Also note that the Samsung Galaxy S

Wibro Egg (4G MiFi) Launched in South Korea!

Posted on May 25, 2010 by max

WiBro Egg, a wifi-tethering device using WiBro (which is like 4G WiMax pretty much), has been launched in South Korea.   Think of it as the MiFi device, except it’s about 10 times faster.

According to the test reports, it’s doing about 8Mbps down and 4Mbps up, not too shabby.

I know Sprint already has a “giant” 4G hotspot device, hopefully they will be adding smaller ones like this later this year.

Here’s a demo video of the device (in Korean):

South Koreans and their Online Banking System on Windows Internet Explorer!

Posted on November 26, 2009 by max

The South Koreans have practically built all of their web-based businesses on IE.  I know this for a fact because I used to intern at a South Korean company back in about ’99 when I was forced to learn Microsoft’s ASP, good thing I quit after couple days, what a useless pile of technology. (in comparison to PHP that is)

For one, the South Koreans do online-banking over their cellphones, smartphones, and the Windows computer.  The difference between the Koreans and Americans is that Korean online banking allows instant transfers.  Koreans use online banking to do most o

iPhone Launching in Korea!

Posted on November 25, 2009 by max

iPhone will be launching in Korea (finally) soon on KT Telecom’s 3G network.  I am not sure how well the iPhone will do in Korea, especially since KT telecom actually has launched WiBro/WiMax service back in 2006r.  Certainly, competing against other WiMax-enabled smartphones from Samsung and LG will be a tough task as iPhone might be literally

Apple iPhone “Explodes” Over Battery Problems – Possible Health Hazard!

Posted on August 28, 2009 by max

It seems that French consumer affairs minister has met with an Apple exec to discuss the latest iphone “explosion” problems in France and other parts of the world.

iPhone exploding, is that possible?

Yes, the battery of the iPhone has been reported to “explode” at random occasions ever since its birth.  Apple is claiming that their iPhones do not explode but history says otherwise.  Apple Nanos in South Korea have been recalled in the past due to “faulty” batteries, pos

NEWS – How Should South Korea Inspect Suspicious North Korean Ships?

Posted on July 20, 2009 by max

The recent news, if you have been keeping up to date, is that North Korea has all of the world’s eyes glued to their actions with nuclear weapons.  I personally think it’s ridiculous that the world is giving North Korea so much attention when there’s so much more important things to solve in the world such as inhuman Iranian government.

Here’s an excerpt from the Philipino news I picked up just now:

Hackers Attack South Korea and the White House!

Posted on July 9, 2009 by max

I know for a fact that millions of hackers live in South Korea, where even FBI can’t even get to.   Here’s a bunch of interesting news that hackers have attacked the South Korean government websites and also the White House.

Well, my best tip is that you need to really strengthen the firewall but whatever.

Also there’s speculation that North Korea might be behind this hacker attack.  I just think hackers are hackers, they do this for fun.

Researchers who are following the attacks said that they began July 4 and focused on the small group of United S

DIY Satellite Antenna King!

Posted on June 30, 2009 by max

Here’s a South Korean farmer who has managed to get 80 satellites up and running as shown here.  The main reason is to actually get more channels for the foreign-born women who get married in rural Korea:

In South Korea, which had once prided itself on being a homogeneous society, 4 out of 10 women who married in rural communities last year were foreign born. In Yeongju alone, the number of foreign wives increased by 28 percent in the past year and a half, to 250, half of them from Vietnam.
