I reported that Microsoft is doing a Mojave experiement yesterday. Microsoft invites 120 users to join the event. So, Microsoft tell these people they are trying the next version of Windows called Mojave, but the truth is not. It is Windows Vista.
Before they know it is actually a Vista, they said Vista is bad and give it a big zero. But, after they tried the so-called next version Windows Mojave, they said it is good. They give them a very high ranking. When they discovered it is actually Windows Vista, they said, “Oh. Unbelieveable. Are you serious?”
Big question. Why these people cannot discover that it is Vista when they are trying? Even Microsoft wipe off all the “Vista” words, normal computer user will recognize it is Vista. Won’t you familiar with the effect and control experience? You know, Windows Vista is there for more than 2 years. Are they living in cave? After I watched their reaction, this is so UNREAL.
Be honest, Windows Vista has great features with improvement of security and amazing effects. But, it actually runs really slowly. Not to mention those bugs it had, just don’t make these kind of stupid experienment, please. Improve the Windows, Microsoft.

I was looking for the way to keep all my passwords and login IDs. I used Lockbox in firmware 1.1.4, and now I have 1Password in firmware 2.0. It is free and available in App Store now. Download it first, as it said it will only be free for limited time.
It used a very high protection as you need to set at least 2 passwords for the database. Then, in the Login field, enter the information you want to encrypt. For instance, if you have added a website login information, you can even browse the site directly in 1Password.
You can store notes in the program, too. With the desktop application by 1Password, you can sync your password from Mac to iPhone easily.
But, weird thing is that I cannot delete my stored information. Is that I need to download the desktop application?

Microsoft gathered at least 120 users from Mac, Linux, Windows XP and Windows 2000 to join a special event. The event will let you to try the next version of Windows codenamed as “Mojave”. But the truth is, Mojave is actually Windows Vista. Microsoft just want to “force” people to try the hated operating system.

Google ex-employees try to make their own Google. They named it as Cuil (pronouced as “Cool”). It said that it can search many web pages. The search result is pretty different than that of Google. It shows results in columns. You can view the thumbnail or related photos of it. Unfortunately, it cannot search using international language now.
Kevin Rose, Digg’s co-founder, shaves his head on UStream.TV. UStream is a live TV website which shows lots of reality show from real people. Kevin Rose said this is for charity. He then shaves his head in front of us. Let’s take a look of the later video to see what he looks like after he has a very short hair.
Infamous Zune Guy posted a video talking about Microsoft. He said this will be the last video. In the video, he mentioned that he does not really love Microsoft at all. He think the company is moving pretty slowly. And he also said Microsoft is “bull sh*t”. He said it’s all done. That’s why I always think the reason he have the tattoo is just to get international attention…

First Look - MagicPad from Apple iPhone Apps on Vimeo.
It is true. And it will be available to the upcoming iPhone Apps, MagicPad. MagicPad is a rich text editor which supports cut, copy and paste of text. Just press and hold to select the text, than use the toolbar to copy. Paste it whenever you want. The app is now pending approval of Apple. It will be on App Store very soon. Let’s hope it will support international language. I also hope the copy and paste feature can be extended to other programs.

All apps are hackable. It includes iPhone Apps. App Store apps seems really hard to hack because of DRM, but the truth is not. We received multiple sources said at least 30 iPhone paid apps from App Store is hacked. It looks like DRM does not really protect paid apps at all. The list included Super Monkey Ball, Bomberman Touch, FileMagnet, Units, Texas Hold’em, eWallet and more.
It requires to Jailbreak your iPhone 2G/3G first. By setting it with 755 permission, all hacked apps are running great. Although the hackers still need to buy the apps before hacking, they are so willing to do so and more apps are going to be hacked. What do Steve Jobs feel about it?

If you found that MobileMe doesn’t work well, it may have a problem again. After the recent downtime, Steve Jobs asked the MobileMe team to do something. The team now have a status page on Apple, so that you can check whether MobileMe can do the synchronization job or not. Subscribe the RSS feed would be a good idea.

For Windows only. If you want to quickly duplicate the tab to another, press Ctrl key and drag the current tab to a new place. Release it and done. This won’t work for Mac. Sorry.
