After watching the Howl's Castle, and the trailer of コクリコ坂から, I woke up to the senses to notice that all features at スタジオジブリ star female protagonists.

Across 25 years, 18 productions!

The question is why?

Facebook Tablet

2011-12-09T18:58:00.000+08:00

Most of the time I found people facebooking on their mobile devices. This girl has Facebook open for her whole journey on the train.
It's time for Facebook to reinvent the phone and tablet.

HTC

2011-12-09T17:08:00.001+08:00

I stopped by the HTC retail outlet this afternoon to experience their phones.

The salesperson was boasting the Sensation XL can take better pictures than the iPhone 4S, because of its superior camera quality.

I checked out the large phone after the previous customer. Screen was gorgeous. First thing I wanted to try were the maps and navigation. I opened Location and I got a list of checkboxes. I had to ask for help from the sales guy: he opened another app called Navigation, then demurred that maps weren't downloaded yet.

On the brochure HTC mentioned the XL runs 2.3.5.

POC. Then I thought about the running cost of the retail outlet: $2m a month for rent, probably zero revenue. Two salespersons.

Waste of money.

Mad Men's genius at its best has always been its ability to create whole episodes out of smaller pieces that could be episodes in and of themselves. It's enormously hard to do (no other show that's attempted it has fully pulled it off), and even Mad Men struggles with it from time to time.

How to make an iTunes ringtone

2010-08-04T18:21:00.003+08:00

My friend could never got his favorite song onto his iPhone as a ringtone. It turns out that he has trouble changing the file extension from m4a to m4r. His computer does not show it, at all.

Imagine trying to teach him over the phone to do so, on Windows 7.

Curses.

I went the easy route - let's install logmein. I wanted to remote control and show this visually. Five minutes later, I got him to download the software, but the install failed after many clicks of "next next next". Apparently access was denied somewhere.

That show file extensions option must be somewhere in the damn Control Panel.

I preset the ISO to allow a faster shutter, and set to f4+ to allow a wider margin of error. I was mindful of where I stood - the same distance to the camera to my buddy. I handed it off and prayed for goodness. Cropped a bit, and a Kodak moment.
