My dad was teasing me for a few months now, showing off the new telephoto lens he bought for a few thousand 4 months ago. Then at some point I told him that putting that amazing new lens on our 6 year old camera is like installing 64GB of RAM into a machine with pentium 3….
So apparently he listened to what I was saying and got me this baby for my birthday: Canon EOS650D!
All the photos of our trip to Melbourne and Fiji will be take using this new device.
Stay tuned for some amazing photos
You all know about the iPhone 5. You have probably heard how people are disappointed with it. Some of you might even think that its not that good. Some of you have read blog posts about how its easily scratchable and breakable. Some of you maybe even heard bad things about iOS6. Well let me tell you what I think. Let me tell you MY experience with the amazing new iPhone 5.
On the night of the 12-13th of September (Australia time) Apple held their iPhone event wher they not only introduced the new iPhone but refreshed the iPod nanos and touches as well.
First let me talk about the iPhone 5.
Currently I have the iPhone4 so for me this will be a big spec boost. So I knew I was gonna buy it months before it was announced. My (now) old phone I will give to my dad, cause he currently has some old battered up Samsung.
Now I shall tell you a funny story of how I pre-ordered the iPhone5:
Apple said that pre-orders for the new iPhone will start on the 14th of September. So I waited until midnight but the page didn’t allow me to preorder it. Ok, I waited till 1am, still no luck. Went to bed. Woke up at 8am, still no luck. Went back to bed. Woke up at 11am still no luck. Went to class. Was sitting there like an idiot in front of my computer constantly refreshing the website. The finally, the Apple Store site was taken down (which means they are updating it). But that lasted from 1:30pm till 4:40pm. I was waiting waiting waiting and waiting. Then at long last at about 5pm I preordered it from my iPhone4 Apple Store app. And only at about 5:30pm the Apple Store website came back up again.
Hopefully it will arrive on the 21st (friday) like promised, then I get to play with my new toy all weekend.
Hatsune Miku – the 16 year old blue haired twintailed virtual idol, the perfect otaku idol! She is more that just popular. She has become a symbol. She is a star. She is a diva. She is a piece of computer software! (that we all adore)
Yesterday I saw this very interesting TED Talk about copyright and remixing. It was made to give the idea of why most copyright and patent laws are dumb and the Apple vs Samsung & Android case is a bit too much
Due to my busy life at uni I wasn’t able to post this news when it actually happened, and I apologize for that.
The Nasa Mars rover “Curiosity” has safely landed on mars and has sent us back some pictures.
Because of all this talk about Pokemon in the Anime@UTS club lately, I fell into nostalgia mode and decided to replay some of the classics.
In order to do that though, one either need a Game Boy / Color / Advanced / Nintendo DS. In my case I have a Game Boy Advanced, however i do not posses any of the Pokemon games…. sadface.jpg
So what does an IT guy do in this case, one thing! find an emulator. And I was successful. Now I can play any Game Boy games on my iTaiga (MacBook Air) or iKonata (Mac Mini). 1 ROM is usually 1-20MB and they provide infinite enjoyment!
This is a little late. I was a bit busy these days with playing CoD and SSFIV:AE2012.
So anyway, on to the Keynote:
generally it was a little bit less than what i expected, but it was nevertheless exciting and had a ton of new stuff.
First of all: the new MacBook Pro with Retina Display
Everybody is curious as to what the next iPhone will look like!
Well the nice folk over from 9to5Mac.com has acquired some interesting images that portray the design of the next generation device.
As can be seen on the photo the new iPhones will have a aluminum back cover (yay! no more fragile glass). Also they seem to have a new type of dock connector.
Not to sure how apple plans on changing the dock connector when we are all used to the 30pin one….. Some people speculate that it is in order to make room for bigger and better speakers and microphone.
Another thing to note is that the headphone jack has been moved to the bottom, so now its the same as the iPod touch.
Furthermore the size of the device is slightly bigger, the screen being 4inches instead of 3,5 on the current iPhone.
Anyway, it looks awesome, and i can’t wait to get my hands on this beautiful device!
