I still can bail out of buying the iPad.

I got a ticket for an iPad, but I have yet given them any money. I can still walk away.

So it begins, or am I still sleeping?

What the hell am I doing here. It’s drizzling and I am standing in line outside a building. I still am not sure if I want to drop the cash for a new iPad. I’m at Apple Store South Coast Plaza. Nice of them to let us in the building.

3:15 AM

I am still awake and might be heading up to an Apple Store in a few. I can go to bed instead. For some reasons I would really want to get the new iPad with 4G LTE on Verizon. I can use it as my Mobile Hot-Spot. I have not have had services with Verizon …

firstname@apple.com

The last name starts with an “S” and ends with an “r”. Could it be phil@apple.com? I’m kidding. Phil Schiller wouldn’t take his time telling me about upcoming Apple products. If Schiller were to tell me anything, he would give me carefully worded hints laced with winks, cough and nods. Anyway. Here’s a non-spoiler spoiler for …

No Apple, I did not sign that particular NDA.

So I heard some non-denial from an Apple manager this past weekend. I can only guess what the next iPad and iPhone going to be, in that order. There were also some laughter about the iPad 3 in March followed by iPad 4 in October rumor. I can say that I’m excited about the next …

The line at UPS Office is just as long as the ones at the Apple Stores.

My friend ordered an iPhone 4S to be delivered to his home. Unfortunately UPS showed up when nobody’s home. So he called UPS with the intention to pick it up at the UPS Customer SErvice Center; just like a few hundreds of people. Upon arriving to the UPS Customer Service Center, he saw a long …

Unlocked iPhone 4S is coming in November 2011.

Apple will be offering iPhone 4S in November 2011. It will be GSM only. Full text of the screen capture below can be found here. I prefer getting an unlocked iPhone.

This one is for Steve Jobs.

Steve Jobs, moments after delivering Macworld 2007 Keynote walked the Expo floor surrounded by Apple employees, the media, exhibitors and attendees. That’s when I had a glance at the co-founder of Apple. That was the only time I ever saw Steve Jobs in person. The seed of my career in Technology started in 1997. Having to work on …

No, I will not tell you who my Apple contact is.

Since no one is reading this, I will reveal who gave me access to the now knows as iPhone 4S a few months ago. Yes it was Phil Schiller. You believed that? No, it was not Phil Schiller. It is Steve Jobs. You believed that one instead? No, it was not Steve Jobs. No, I will …

Replacing Screen on MacBook Pro.

I just finished replacing screen assembly on a MacBook Pro. The MacBook Pro screen had a crack on the bezel which prevent me from opening and closing it. I finally found a soon to be “discarded” MacBook Pro of the same model with an intact screen assembly. After 30 minutes of work, now my original …

The next iPhone after iPhone 4.

I am reluctant to call the next iPhone after iPhone for as iPhone 5. Based on the “I can’t comment on that” treatments I get from some Apple employees who used to directly report to Steve Jobs (now they directly report to Tim Cook), I have summarized that the iPhone I really want is coming …

So I caved in and subscribed to Netflix.

Thanks to some discussions about old movies with friends, I subscribed to Netflix. So for the past few days I watched a few movies from long time ago; that would be the 70’s and the 80’s. Most of the movies I watch on video sometimes in late 80’s as a kid, I thought they were awesome then. …
