Posted May 17th, 2013 by Ryu at 2:05 am in Apple and Editorial. 1 CommentSince Steve passed away, I have not found much motivation to post anything here.

Posted January 14th, 2011 by Ryu at 4:09 pm in Froyo Fail and iOS. 1 CommentSo I posted a tweeted the other day declaring that the majority of current Android phone owners will never see their phones ever getting the Mobile Hotspot feature despite Android announcing the feature first in Froyo, Android 2.2, which was released in May 2010. Why did I say that? It’s very simple. The majority of […]

Posted August 20th, 2010 by Ryu at 5:58 pm in Applecare and Hardware. 2 CommentsCause my Applecare Protection Plan is almost up, so I thought I’ll finally bring the dead 320GB original Apple (Seagate OEM) hard drive to swap for a new one. Two days later, they called me up for collection. The 320GB hard drive was swapped with a brand new 500GB one. Sweet. It’s another Seagate OEM. […]
