Apple & Job launched the iPad
After all the hype and the suspense leading up to yesterday night (Malaysia time), Apple finally launched their very own Tablet PC. Aptly named the iPad, it’s what most netizens would call an enlarged version of the iPod Touch/iPhone.
For people like myself who spend a lot of time online using their iPhone, this would be a tempting new ‘toy’ to play with. After all, it comes with a bigger screen meaning you can read/view things without constantly scrolling left and right to read texts on websites. The iPad will also be giving Amazon’s Kindle DX a run for it’s money as the iPad is able to give readers the chance to view materials in full color compared to the Kindle’s non-color, limited function device. The 16GB model is only USD$10 more than the USD$489 kindle too! (more…)

The Daily Telegraph recently reported that a patent application filed in the United States suggests that the leading technology firm is considering introducing commercials in order to sell its products at a discounted price. Described in the application as “enforcement routine” software, it is believed the technology would force users to watch or listen to small adverts which they would be unable to skip past.
Apple, like all leading technology firms, regularly files experimental patent applications, which never come to fruition. But the inclusion of Apple’s CEO Steve Jobs’ name on the application, has led some commentators to conclude that the idea is being taken seriously by the company. It is believed pressure from rival firms, such as Spotify – which allows users to download free music tracks providing they listen to periodic adverts – has persuaded Apple to take the technology seriously.

iPhone 3G coming to Malaysia!
Almost 1 year after Singapore brought in the iPhone 3G to their citizens, Maxis finally announce that they’ll be bringing in the iPhone 3G 8GB for free on its iValue 4 plan from March 20.
Maxis chief executive officer Sandip Das said in a statement: “We are very pleased to launch iPhone 3G in Malaysia as many of our mobile users have been eagerly anticipating this revolutionary phone.”
“They will really enjoy the many embedded and downloadable applications from the first time they use iPhone 3G.” You can read more about it here.
Maxis will offer the 8GB and 16GB iPhone 3G models with four specially designed postpaid plans called iValue, all of which are voice-data bundled price plans, starting from RM100 per month.
I’d say it’s about time they bring it into Malaysia. I guess like the saying goes, it’s better late than never. Right?

Simpsons & Apple
Just thought I’d share this series of video. If you follow the Simpsons diligently, you’d have watched these series of clips already. For those of you who hasn’t. Well, here’s to you to have a good laugh.
Was actually browsing for some Apple vs Microsoft video when I stumbled across these videos. Enjoy!
Firstly, this fantastically cool Lego Simpsons opening by bulc96 (on youtube).
