Apple has taken the initiative to reduce the chaos around the iPhone 4/4S in Hong Kong. The Apple Store in the IFC mall is now getting a special system where interested customers must reserve an iPhone before they can go pick it up at the store. Only a certain amount will be sold per day. All walk-in customers for the phone will be denied. Also, the people who get the chance to buy the iPhone will get an email confirmation by 9 PM and they must provide a government-issued ID. This should better help with the commotion around the iPhone 4/4S. Hopefully this system is implemented for the next iPhone release premier, too.
Many people who use their iPhones heavily can agree that the battery life isn’t sufficient enough to fully capitalize the functions of the iPhone 4. Ardent gamers should all be too aware of this issue. Running highly graphical games, like N.O.V.A 2, can seriously cut battery life. Even using the iPhone 4 lightly on calls, texts, and quick web surfs can kill the phone before the day is even over. Users usually just lower their brightness and cut other features, but the iPhone 4 is a luxury item. It is made to be enjoyed and cutting features from it is like burning cash. Another option to solve this problem is using external battery sources and PhoneSuit’s Elite Battery Case is a serious competitor. It can fully charge the iPhone from 0% (dead state) to 100%.
Samsung is at it again and this time taunting the iPhone for not having 4G while the Samsung Galaxy S II does. Samsung seems to make all relevant points against Apple so far. The ad is an entertaining break to say the least.
If you’re a student or anyone who wears a bag for school, a job, or anything of that sort, you know that when you need to carry a ton of stuff, you want the bag you wear to be able to handle it. On the other hand, when the bag has barely anything in it, it shouldn’t be bulky and look ugly. Unfortunately, most laptop bags are like that which is depressing. BBP’s Expand-it messenger laptop bag is a stab at the problem in the right direction. It can go from being slim to an impressive and extremely spacious bag. The Expand-it laptop messenger bag is elegant, comfortable, and sturdy.
Apple employees will be getting a discount on Macs and iPads. They can take off $500 on any Mac besides the Mac mini and $250 off iPads. However, there are a few catches: employees must have been working for Apple for at least 90 days and this discount can only be used three times a year.
A source from Foxconn in China told 9to5Mac that the iPhone 5 is being prepared for production. There are several prototypes but all have the following in common:
4+ inch display (made by LG on at least one of them).
No teardrop-shaped devices, as rumored in the lead up to the iPhone 4S. Samples so far have been symmetrical in thickness (also longer/wider).
Neither of the sample devices have the iPhone 4/4S form factor.
Neither of the devices are the final versions.
9to5Mac also says that the same tipster said the iPhone 5 wouldn’t launch but instead the iPhone 4S would. This makes it seem that the source is quite reliable.
Were you able to tell the time from that puzzle? If not, look closer but only at the smaller box that is at the center. Now cross your eyes, and focus on the numbers. The time should reveal itself. Once you have seen it, you can never “un-see” it. Believe it or not, but this method of telling time has actually been made into a watch.
