Yesterday, Apple sent me an email in response to the iPad 3G 16GB reservation I made 17 days ago.
This iPad Accessory Makes Huge Difference!
To me, iPad’s most annoying feature in terms of usage has always been the over-reflective and fingerprint-magnet screen. Sure, it looks beautiful at first, but trying to read on an iPad is not the most pleasant experience.
The Second Coming of iPad
Life without iPad has been challenging. Sure, I was able to focus on other things in life, but there are times when I craved for it.
Office Depot Study Stand … For My iPad ~
Went to Office Depot yesterday to get a study stand. As soon as I entered the store at Fremont, I was greeted by the staff and I asked for a study stand. She took me to the clearance area where I came across two study stands.
Officially an iPad Owner Today
This is the day I’ve been looking forward to for two and a half years. Many mockups and speculations have appeared on the net.
All rumors were put to rest in January this year when Apple announced iPad, signaling its intention to jump into tablet and e-book markets. Consumers had to wait for over 60 days to own one of these.
Clean Installation of Snow Leopard Failed
I received a 64GB Kingston Solid-State Drive for this year’s Christmas gift (Kingston SSDNOW V SERIES). Given that the old Macbook that I used for exercising has been having a hard drive issue lately, I decided to replace it with this new SSD. However, I encountered an issue.
Problem: Clean install of Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6 shows the following error message:
Install Failed The installer could not copy the necessary support files
Information / History: The Macbook model number is A1181. The install DVD is 22691-6558-A. Upgraded the memory to a single PNY 2GB DDR2 SODIMM two months ago.
Solution: Replaced the SODIMM with the ones that originally came with Macbook which were 2 pieces of NANYA 512MB PC2-5300 SODIMM.
Update: Memory test failed on PNY 2GB DDR2 SODIMM which I purchased two months ago at Fry’s at discounted price. A lesson learned to always do memory test on a newly purchased DDR. Same goes with HDD.
The Guts of My Mac Mini
Finally fulfilled > 2-year wish of wanting a mac mini. Got the 1gb-ram version, but purchased a separate 4gb ddr3.
I’ve been playing with it for about a week before having the time to single-handedly upgrade the ram.
Performance wise, it feels snappier and there’s room for virtualization now.
Hard drive is 120gb. I’m going to use external usb hard drive for now. I may upgrade it in the future.
