“It’s got to be better at these key tasks otherwise it has no reason for being. Some people have said: oh, that’s a netbook. The problem is netbooks aren’t better at ANYTHING.” Applause. “They’re just cheap laptops.”
“What’s the battery life on this remarkable device?” Pauses. “We’ve been able to achieve 10 hours of battery life.” Big applause. He can “fly to San Francisco to Tokyo and watch video the whole way on one charge.” That’s ten hours of VIDEO. And 1 month of standby charge.
“We’ve enhanced the iPhone SDK to support development for the iPad as well, and we’re releasing the SDK today.”
“We’re incredibly psyched to pioneer the next generation of digital journalism.” Ha, Martin Nisenholtz (from New York Times) said “psyched.”
And now, an eBook reader app. “Amazon’s done a great job of pioneering this technology with their ebook reader.” And now, a new app called iBooks. It’s got a bookshelf, and the screen actually looks like you’re looking down at a book, with extraneous stuff on the side that looks like the side of a book. It’s called iBooks. And, there’s even an iBook store that has Penguin, Harper Collins, Simon & Schuster, Macmillan, Hachette book group.
Browse TOC, change the font or the font size, all the standard stuff. “And that is iBooks.” Big applause. “We use the ePub format, the most popular open book format in the world, and I’m very excited about this. We think the iPad is going to make a terrific e-book reader not just for popular books, but for textbooks as well.”

Okie sorry for a bit late for my blog post. I hope the above pic would cheer you up. So……let’s comment a bit on then this week..
UoM resumed on Monday.. New modules, new lecturers.
Dr. Sannasee is our lecturer for the module International business mgt. The tall man with a blue tie pointed out some rules about this course, like do not come fifteen minutes late else dnt dare to enter the class. Info on the module content was given and we finshed early. Personally I like the subject topic since I have always been a fan of Macro-economics. In fact I fell in love at first sight when my Eco teacher started the first chapter in Macro Eco.
Then meeting with friends, phew the UoM cafetaria is jam-packed!!!
The second day, another new lecturer for Strategic Management. A nice one, in pink outfit…
Thursday, the famous CSE module at phase 2 building. This module I have studied most of the content in BCS’s Mangement Information Systems module. The exams which I sat in Oct 2009 ‘with much difficulty’ since I was at Practical training 2009.
Friday, a serious meeting at work…hmmm i hate it whn product deadlines are fast approaching and you have to answer the CEO.
However the same day, a good news: BCS higher education exams results are out!!!
Instantly in my mind:
- ‘kas paker’ in professional issues
- Fail in MIS module
Yes, fail because this was the first time i left an exams room so early before the end of the 3 hour paper.
Howeava upon checking the online results …… Whops…nice surprise

For the professional issues module, which is among the most difficult modules in bcs exams, i realised how difficult it is to gain marks. I gave my best shot for that paper.
Another week milestone is that i have been doing lot of web devlepment these days…
Check out my updated portfolio..
that’s all for now folks, Keep Connected!
