    Soapbox is dead

    Monday 24 September 2007 @ 11:19 pm

    Soapbox is not as famous as Youtube, but it gains its popularity because it was owned by Microsoft. Soapbox provided the same functionality as Youtube, it was built up by user generated video content. But now, Microsoft has axed it.

    msn-video-soapbox

    However, users don’t be too upset, because Microsoft actually shifted the entire project to MSN Video! So, Soapbox now is part of MSN video service. All the video that originally on Soapbox will be tag as “Soapbox User Videos”.

    You will also notice on MSN video, there will be similar Soapbox interface. And the encoded speed is much faster. Overall, I think MSN video beta is doing a great job.

    Reduce Your Site Loading Speed

    Monday 24 September 2007 @ 10:56 pm

    Most of the bloggers adopt their blogs theme from Internet, but for web designers. You not only create a web site with astonishing graphics but also you need to consider the loading speed. A study shows that more than half of the visitors will your site, if it takes them more than 5 seconds to load. When it takes more than 10 seconds, I think at most 10% of the visitors will still have the patience.

    So, the direct affect to your loading speed not only your server speed, also your web site size. You not only try to cut down the graphics using a higher compression like JPEG with lower quality. I mainly used 80% quality reserved; this will effectively reduce more than 50% of my picture size.

    On the programming portion, you could also try to find a better algorithm on your php coding. On CSS files, you could cut some of the additional size by reducing excessive comments, e.g. using /* comments */ instead of using few paragraphs of comments. You also can save couples of lines by using 1 lines, e.g. margin: 0px 10px instead of separate them into margin-left, margin-right and etc.

The official launching date will be on 16th Octorber. From the picture shown below, seem like they have changed the navigation wheel into a weird sharp. Maybe this is a good way to differentiate iPod and Zune.

    iUnlock - Unlocked Your iPhone Now!

    Thursday 13 September 2007 @ 12:06 am

    While people still deciding whether to pay USD99 to unlock their iPhone, today a community has released an open source method to unlock your iphone! So, you do not need to pay your money to iPhoneSimFree anymore.

    So, does it really work? Yes and the method they are using is similar to iPhoneSimFree. Where is the link? Here it is. If you want to download the source code for education purpose, you can find it here too.

    We shall thank Gizmodo for the mirror, since the iUnlock developer’s web site has been overloaded. 

    I wonder when will Apple take reaction towards the code? Also, Apple possibly will release new firmware for the iPhone to prevent further losses.
