Looks like I’m about to get a new iPod…

iPod Display Messed Up

Something weird started happening to my 2 year old 5th gen iPod’s display. It started with a small spot, and within a day became a whole bunch of lines. I watch a lot of video podcasts (hey, to make good shows, you gotta watch good shows too, you know) during my free time at work, so the lines became very obvious and very distracting. The funny thing is that they disappear after the back light goes off.

I guess that means I’ll be receiving a new iPod soon (I got this one for free, a miracle, like many of the gadgets I own…) :P I hope it’s a 16GB iPod Touch! :D Thanks Abba!

P.S.: That album playing on my iPod is “Restore” by Bob Fitts. He visited our church again last Sunday and I loved his music, so I bought it.

If Apple sold sheets of paper… [Video]

What if Apple sold their own paper? What would their TV ad be like?

This is really awesome. Talk about cross-culture… NTT‘s gonna love this.

Wait, so if I buy this stock, they’ll pay me? [PIC]

UIC Stock on Google Finance
A stock that’s -56,800,209,148,329,600,000,000.00?? Wow, all I need is buy 1, and I’ll be the richest man alive. Got this from Digg.com.

So THAT’s why there aren’t enough Wiis out there… [PIC]

My new thumbdrive from heaven, and 65bit’s new Jingle

As most of you know, I had a very long Saturday last week. What with 65bit’s 50th episode, and another awesome Arrow service. It was a late night, I was tired, and I knocked out the moment I touched my bed. I woke up super early the next morning to pack my bag to book into camp, and as I was unpacking it, I found a small Postpac package to “Daniel Tsou, Beloved of the Father :) ” and “from: Open Heaven”. I was surprised of course, but I was in a hurry too, so I thought of maybe opening it in camp. Good thing I didn’t, cos inside of it was a 4GB Sandisk Ducati thumbdrive!!

There was no note in the package, no letter, and the geek me plugged it into my mac hoping to find some sort of note or something. Nope. Nothing at all. But boy did that thumb drive make my week. I called my caregroup, Hei Man, Farinelli and Jerrick, but no one knew who it was from! It turns out that my bro Edwin had won some competition, got it for free and decided to bless me with it. Man, am I blessed!! Thanks so much bro!! To be honest, the biggest thumb drive I have is only 128MB!! That’s right, the founder of Tech65 only has a 128MB thumb drive…

In other related news, Edwin has also written us a brand new Jingle for 65bits! It’s pretty cool sounding and finally something unique specially for us! We’ll probably only use it from Episode 52 onwards because NTT wants to do some levelling on it first (an audiophile is always an audiophile…) I’m not gonna spoil it for you, so just wait for it next week! Thanks again bro!!

There’s condensation in my iMac

Condensation in iMac display
I never thought it’d ever happen to me, but it has. I always thought there were finger print smudges or something on my display, but today I noticed the “smudge” was pretty big and long. Then when I put up a black background, I knew immediately what it was. There’s condensation of water vapour in between my 20 inch iMac’s LCD display and the outer glossy casing. I can still do my work fine, it’s just annoying to have a tiny blur on your display. My “call in” service is over, so I have to visit an apple care centre to address this. Hope I don’t have to personally lug my 20 inch iMac to the care centre to get it sorted out. Anyone know a way to fix this myself?

DK: keep this in mind when you buy your iMac. You might wanna check with the sales rep if the issue’s been sorted out.

I crashed the Slashdot 10th Anniversary Party in Singapore

Slashdot Party - The 4 from slash dot and the 1 who crashed it.

After recording episode 45 of 65bits yesterday, we heard about a slashdot party was going on later that day. Jerrick had to go, so NTT and I sticked around. At about 3 pm, the first of the slash dotters (I don’t know if that’s the right way to call them) arrived, and I realised it was really a geek gathering, so I decided I’ll join in, and crash the party! In the end, only 4 of them turned up, but I had fun chatting with them and telling them all about Geek Terminal, since it was their first time there. Emlyn Philips (3rd from left) even asked me if I was a share holder for GT since I kept saying good stuff about them!

They’re pretty cool people, really, and definitely more geek than me! Chen Yang (most right) even runs Ubuntu as her primary operating system on her notebook!

iPhone arrives in UK

Tech65 – Apple announced just 30 minutes ago that the iPhone is going to UK November the 9th at around S$548 exclusively through their mobile ISP O2. They say exclusively, so it might not be locked, unlike it’s US counterpart. The iPhone is the same model as the one in US, no 3G, just wifi and EDGE (which is quite useless here). Just more long distant drooling for us here, but at least it means we’ll be getting it soon, right?
