I Know Which Tablet I Want

OK, if you are an Apple fan, don’t be mad at me, I like Apple but I don’t like the spooky-dishonesty stuff…

To be honest, some Apple fans are kind of scary, have you ever seen their comments on YouTube or elsewhere? It’s like Apple is their religion and Steve Jobs is their profit, no wonder… :)

Anyways, things like this bother me a lot:

1 – Showing that the device supports Flash in the ads when in reality it doesn’t, do you realise someone big in that company said “Let’s make it look like it supports Flash in the ads!”???

2 – Steve Jobs said that they designed the A4 chip “right here at Apple” but in reality it is a ARM Cortex chip!!!!

On the other hand, there is going to be a very, very interesting product out soon, it’s HP Slate, the name is kind of lame but it will be running a full version of Windows 7 and under the hood, it has a NVIDIA Tegra 2, which is a very cool chip; it has dual ARM Cortex 1GHz CPUs!

I have a big laptop for work, but I have a little one that I carry around EVERYWHERE with me and it’s very handy, for watching videos and stuff other than work. I was hoping that the iPad could replace that but it didn’t turn out to be that way, HP Slate on the other hand, will do exactly that.

Sorry Apple…

I Want An iPad

I’m not an apple customer, I’ve been thinking about switching to Mac for a while but that requires Mac based software for our work so I’m not ready yet.

But seeing Steve Jobs introduce the iPad, we’ve decided we each want one!

I love everything about this device, I don’t know who will buy a Netbook or a Kindle, or at least I wouldn’t…

There are some things that I like to see on this device, one is a complete Mac-like OS (rather than iPhone) although I know it’s OS 10 already but it would be really nice to have that. The other thing is a camera but I will buy one regardless of these features.

The only thing that disappoints me about this device is that, I have to wait 2-3 months for it to come out, I will write more as soon as I have it.

Microsoft Link Worked Only In FireFox?!!!

So I had to open a support ticket on Windows Live Hotmail because of some problems and the link to the form didn’t work in IE, it said “Error on the page” in the status bar and nothing happened so I had to use FireFox! The Irony!

When I see these things and issues in IE and Windows itself, I wonder, what are they doing there? Clearly someone is not doing their job properly. It’s sad because once I really liked MS products and they do somethings very well but I find myself thinking of switching to Mac more and more these days.

My brother bought a Mac Book Air and he says that he will NEVER buy a PC again…

Google Just Gave The Idea To OS Giants!

So Microsoft:

1 – Can you make your OS boot up in less than 10 seconds in a regular – in terms of hardware speed – computer?
2 – Could you modify your OS so that it doesn’t get slow over time?

This is really the time for these modifications…

How to clean the screen with PHP in Linux (cls, Linux, PHP)

Here is the trick, in your script use:

system("clear");

To make it work on both Windows and Linux:

if (strtoupper(substr(PHP_OS, 0, 3)) == 'WIN')
   system("cls");
else
   system("clear");

I hope this helps someone.

Computers of the future

They are going to be just a monitor, a touch screen monitor, there will be a keyboard on the screen if you want to type anything, there will be no keyboard, mouse or touch pad.
Probably in the next 5 years they will be everywhere, you might not be able to buy one of these either :)
