A comprehensive benchmark comparison of the lastest iPhone 3GS and iPhone 3G. From the chart, we can tell the CPU performance is increase 40%~70% and the texture effects are about 10 times faster than iPhone 3G! That’s amazing.
Google Chrome Beats Safari on Mac
Apple always love to boost how fast their browser is, they so called the fastest browser on planet. I don’t love their cocky way of marketing method either. Recently the latest javascript benchmark using SunSpider and V8 shows that Chrome nightly is faster than Safari 4.0.1 on Mac!
Yeah, way to go Google Chrome! For Firefox, seem you have a long way to go.
3G iPhone is expensive than the first gen
Does the new 3G iPhone that cheap? According to Gizmodo compare chart of the first gen iPhone and 3G iPhone bundle with AT&T. It is $399, 100 bucks more than the first generation plan. The plan does not even include SMS Plan yet.
So next time when you head for 3G iPhone, think again. Apple is fooling us! Unless, we bought it and jail break it. Then it is surely worth your money.
Meizu M8 New Interface
Regardless we still in doubt whether Meizu is still interested to release the iPhone killer, Meizu M8, or not. Just because Meizu seem to more interest for M9. However yesterday, we saw more new interface announced. The interface is slightly different from the iPhone.
For example the keylock, in case of using on-screen sliding to unlock, M8 will require user to drag the unlock icon to the unlock zone for unlocking.
Woman Sues Apple Over iPhone Price Cuts
If you are an early iPhone user, how do you feel about the $200 price cut from Apple? Either you feel angry and lose faith to Apple products anymore or you accepted the open letter from Steve Jobs, however, this woman -DongMei Li from New York is going to sue Apple for the price cut.
Yeah, I think Apple deserve a lawsuit for such unfair price cut. But, how much this Chinese lady ask for compensation? $1 million!! It is for “price discrimination, underselling, discrimination in rebates, deceptive actions and other wrongdoings.”
I really highly doubt that she will win the case. Impossible the judge will allow a $1 million compensation for just a $200 price cut. Anyway, if she wins it, then there will be more lawsuit case come after Apple.
iUnlock – Unlocked Your iPhone Now!
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.
Movies Rental on iTunes?
Today a photo posted on Flickr showing that Apple is showing interest on movie rentals. When one of the iTunes user was trying to report a problem through iTunes, eventually, the pop up show some interesting string – “Rental Movies”.
So, is this really true, Apple is going to start new movies rental service on iTunes Store? After Apple has announced the new generation of iPod, and the recent upgrade of iTunes 7.4.1. Maybe more new surprise is coming all the way .
New Ipod Coming?
Ipod is important to Apple as it has generated 30% of the sales for the last Q2. After Apple released Iphone, people started to gossip about the new generation Ipod. People think that it will have a touch screen. Rumor widely spread that the Ipod Nano will come with 16GB Flash memory.
Last week, few technology sites posted some leaked images and claimed that was the next generation Ipod. But from what I saw, they looks more like “photoshopped” photo. So, when will it come? Infinite Loop pointed out that Apple very likely to announce the new Ipod Nano on 5th of September. As it was the 2 year anniversary of Ipod Nano.
Thus, when do you think it will out?
iPhone Cracked!!
Obviously there is no unbreakable system. Just a month away from the first released of iPhone, now hackers have already successfully crack the iPhone. So, you now no longer need to be AT&T subscriber to use iPhone. In case you not sure what is so bad about to be AT&T subscriber until you saw your bill. 
Below is a clip from Engagdet showing that they already have a cracked iPhone using T-Mobile to make a call.
I found there is a teaching on hardware cracking iPhone. But if you do not want to void your warranty, then better wait for the software cracking.
Mac Mouse that last for 18 years!
“I was working on invoices on my Mac, †she told me. “And my mouse just died.†Jo’s Mac is a Mac IIci. We’re talking a circa 1989 computer; We discussed the mouse’s problem. It was the clicker. It wasn’t clicking anymore. Not bad when you consider that she’s been clicking with it for 18 years. I think she got her money’s worth.
A Mac user get her computer mouse working after 18 years! That’s incredible as most of the mouse nowadays could hardly working after 2 years. I remember my previous Logitech mouse had used for 4 years and finally dead. After that, my mouse is getting shorter and shorter life span. They are because of the clicking not working or the optical malfunction.
I do agree that the owner really get her money worth. But I wonder the currently Apple mouse able to work for so long or not?
