What's the internal culture of Apple like? →
You wanna work at Apple? Well, perhaps you can, if you’re good enough. But don’t expect it to be quite what you expect — that’s unless you’re lucky enough to be hand-picked for one of Jobs’ secret developer teams. Apple is a dynamic combination of corporate red tape, politics and secrecy all bound around a start-up type culture that’s led and powered by Apple CEO, Steve Jobs, at...

TBWA\
A lot of you might have already known this: I work for TBWA now. Some people still come across and ask me: what the hell is TBWA, and more importantly, with a bachelor in IT, what do I do in there? TBWA is basically an advertising agency. That means, if you own a company and you want to promote your product, an advertising agency will help you do that at their best. TBWA creates Disruptive ideas...

I lived next to a 95 year old man, who spent all his life on a chair looking out to the gate upon the front yard where the kids gather to play every afternoon. His best friend is a radio, and all he drinks is hot tea. He’s the type of guy who doesn’t put up with any kind of bullshit, made from kids to adults. One of his kind. Very strong personality. My family loved him so much that we...

How can I convince my girlfriend that I should buy...
Ask: I need to convince my other half getting an iPad is a good idea. I already have an iMac and iPhone. Her question is “What else does the ipad give me?”. So far I’ve got: portability, iBooks, taking notes for work with stylus, editing documents with iWorks, bigger Internet than iPhone when out. What do I need that gets more points? Suggestions? Answer: Simply put, when it...

iPhone - the 8th greatest invention. →
More important than the flush toilet, the internal combustion engine, and the bed. Putting the wheel at No. 1 makes sense. Ditto the light bulb at No. 3 and penicillin at No. 7. But even Apple (AAPL) CEO Steve Jobs — no stranger to hyperbole — has never claimed that the iPhone is the eighth greatest invention of all time. (from CNN Money)
I’m at the point that I no longer think of apple...
No, seriously, I mean it.

How To Create Your First iPhone App →
I stumbled upon this extremely informative article and found it useful for all the starters (like me). It has all the steps one needs to make in order for their first app to be available on iTunes Store. That’s also why I can’t wait till my summer begins (which is in 4 days) so I can fully concentrate on finishing what I left off about a year ago: a Rubik’s Cube game for...

Palm & HP
This time last year, the Palm Pre came out. They worshipped it. Thanks to the 4G speed provided by Sprint, they really considered it as a serious iPhone killer (regardless of the fact that 4G connection from Sprint is even slower than AT&T’s 3G — and Palm doesn’t have such a thing called App Store). Now the company filed for bankruptcy and joined with HP, speaking of whom...

The Cube in Numbers →
A standard ‘3x3x3’ Rubik’s Cube has 6 coloured sides, 21 pieces and 54 outer surfaces. This means there are more than 43 quintillion possible configurations, or 43,252,003,274,489,856,000 to be exact. But there is only one solution.

There's a little platform called Android. Like I...
iPhone officially said goodbye to its long-term competitor: Blackberry. How awesome the iPhone has been, we all know. But what really puts Blackberry to termination in the game is the sneaking off of Android. Lately, according to market researcher NPD, Android outsells iPhone in the USA. What’s the hype here? Do I care? Not at all. Being an Apple fanboy doesn’t mean I have to hate...

Lady GaGa for future Apple iPhone ads. →
From the rumor and speculation dept.: Weekend claims emanating from the Examiner said Apple’s hitched-up a deal with Lady GaGa under which the 24-year old star will appear in commercials pushing the next-gen iPhone 4G. Sweet.

People & Time
I finally got the guts to talk to somebody today. You know the feeling when you’re out of touch with someone that was very special to you? The moment when you first talk to them again, what do you feel? You feel like you’re living the days when you still knew them, why you liked them, why they were special to you as if everything just made sense. One thing I learn in life is you...

Now you...
FAQ about Mac: RAM.
Question: Even when I only use Safari and iTunes, my Mac takes up to 2GB of RAM to process (I have 4GB total). Is it common? Should I use iFreeMem to clear those unused memories? Answer: I wouldn’t stress over the use of the memory. Most people seem to be accustomed to the Windows model of memory usage, where “excessive” use is a bad thing and you try to keep your memory as...
Lady Gaga Angry About 'Idol' Performance →
Lady GaGa finally gives words about her dissatisfaction of how Fox channel “poorly and amateurly” edited her pre-taped performance. Yup, about time. What a place full of boneheads and nincompoops Fox channel is.
Is my Mac using too much memory? →
If you’ve ever opened up your Activity Monitor and looked at the System Memory tab, you’ve no doubt seen something similar to the above. But if you’re like me, you’ve often wondered just what the labels mean. Just what is wired memory, anyway? Well Alex at Bits about Bytes has a nice little article explaining just what those labels mean, how different applications...
