• iPhone Unlocked

  09.02.12 |iPhone, Technology| Permalink | Comments Off on iPhone Unlocked

  I bought an iPhone 4 a year and a half ago when I was in US. I thought I could unlock it easily to any telco. However after a few months, no one is able to come up with an unlock app. It was really sad because I couldn’t use it in Malaysia. I wonder why Apple wants to sell locked phones.

  After 2-3 months, someone release Gevey SIM and I could use to connect to my local country telco. At least, I can phone with it. I was happy again!

  A few weeks back, I heard that I can unlock the iPhone using IMEI code. I found someone in the internet that can do it for me. If I fully unlocked the phone, I can either sell it or give it to someone to use it, if I choose to use my free Samsung Note.

  Finally, my iPhone is fully unlocked and I can use any telco on it. *grinning* If you want to unlock your iPhone 4, let me know. I know someone who can do it for small fees.

  
  
  

• Big Screen

  Finally I got my new work monitor running at home. When the new one came, I could not get it to display more than 1 minute. At first I thought it was the driver on my notebook. I installed a new driver and it gave my notebook a blue screen. Next I thought it was the power cable and I asked my colleague to get me 1. I tried it but it only display for 1 minute. Sigh!

  I decided to call HP help desk. They came and replace it with a new unit. Cool eh? It took only 1 day for them to do it.

  Now I can watch movie on this screen. Oops, I mean work. I have been having a lot of night tele-conferences and a big screen does help a lot!

  My kids just watch Despicable Me on it and they love it to the max!

  
  
  

• The Box

  Finally the box arrived last Friday. That is my new work notebook and it is the EliteBook 2540. Some of the great features in comparison to my old notebook are:

  1. The DVD-RW is attached to it. I don’t have to carry separate devices.
  2. It comes with a camera. Yeah I can do video conferencing with my family when I am traveling.
  3. It comes with double the amount of disk storage. I was running out of storage with my old notebook.
  4. It has a strip of touch screen panel for adjusting the volume, Wifi, etc…still figuring out.
  5. The size is smaller but screen looks bigger.
  6. It has the fast Intel Core i7 chip.
  7. Spill-resistant keyboard. Let’s hope no water or dirt can fall into it.
  8. Longer lasting 6-cell battery.
  9. It doesn’t generate a lot of heat.
  10. It has the cool LED light for night reading. Not for the screen, for the keyboard.

  
  

  I’m liking it. For once, my notebook wakes up faster.
  

• WordPress 2.9

  I upgraded my WP 2.1 to 2.9 months ago. I found that after the upgrade, I get a lot of SPAM comments. Believed me when I was on WP2.1, I hardly get any SPAM because I used my own filtering.

  Today I get SPAM every day. I would have thought that the new upgrade would tighten security but it does not. Now I have to scratch my head to think of a good way to fight against SPAM.

  I was forced to upgrade because the PHP upgrade will no longer support old version of WP 2.1.

  Now WP3.0 is available, should I go for it?

• Calling From My Notebook

  Finally I have set up my VOIP on my notebook. Pretty cool! Now I can call and received phone calls from my notebook. I don’t have to be in the office to pick up my office calls. Everything is redirected to my notebook. That’s the beauty of VOIP, I can be anywhere, and as long as I have a notebook plus WIFI with me…I can pick up your call.

  I wonder in the future, can my notebook cook my lunch and dinner. Well at least I can order pizza from it.

• Mini 110 Netbook

  I got my hands on the Mini 110 HP Netbook. It is small and very light. I am glad it came with XP rather than Vista/Windows 7. It is installed with HP Games too. It does everything I need in there. It is very good for those who just want to access Internet, FB and blog. It is definitely suitable for traveler.

  On the technical specs:
  Intel Atom N280 Processor 1.66GHz
  160 GB (5400 RPM) Hard Drive
  1024MB RAM
  Webcam
  10.1” diagonal WSVGA Anti-glare Widescreen Display
  Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950 with shared graphics memory
  802.11b/g WLAN & Bluetooth
  6 in 1 Digital Media Reader
  6 Cell Lithium-Ion batteries
  3 USB port

  On the not so good side, the screen is too small. I have to do a lot of scrolling too read a page of articles. The 6 cell Lithium batteries spoiled the design because it is bulging out, looking like a docking station. I also find it difficult to do pictures or photo editing with such a small screen.

  Well this unit got a 3 years warranty and I hope it lasts as longer than that. I heard that many notebooks bum out after 1 year.

  This cost RM1399.00

• VOIP Phone

  Finally, I will get to use the VOIP phone. My company is implementing VOIP phone and everyone is excited. VOIP is calling using the network with voice and data capability.

  
  
  

  Actually I tasted VOIP using my iPhone over skype. It goes through the internet to make a call. The quality is not bad and it is cheap. I used it often when I am travelling. I can call home when there is wifi available. Calling LAN line is free. I like this concept!

  Yeah I am connected! Now I basically do the thing on my notebook with my iPhone. For one, I do not have to switch on my notebook to check my meeting appointments, email and alerts. I can do it with my iPhone. I can surf my company intranet too.

  Now my company has enabled the Exchange server to push email to my iPhone. I can read or reply email on the fly. It is pretty cool. And no I am not obligated to reply any work email after office hour.

  With this feature, I do not need to wait for my notebook to wake up every morning. It is getting slower and I am always wondering what they put in there that takes forever to run. It is running in the background churning up all the memory. Sometimes I had to kill some processes that I know I won’t use.

  Anyone knows where I can get a cheap 3G 16G without contract?
