What about me?

Got this by email, how real is it?

The introduction of Apple’s A5, dual-core chip first seen in the iPad 2 enables the 4S to really compete in terms of power. Having said that, whilst the A4 processor is only single-core, it has still been a performance marvel during the course of the last 16 months, and could hardly be criticized for being slow. One of the key features of the iPhone 4S is the ability for both GSM and CDMA users to roam worldwide on one device. The iPhone 4 launched as GSM only, and it wasn’t until the start of this year that Apple finally introduced a CDMA iPhone, allowing Verizon users to hop onto the iPhone bandwagon. The 4S’ much-improved camera matches the Galaxy S II in terms of megapixels, although it’s hard to tell which is better until we’ve seen some actual shots from the yet-to-be-released device. Once suspects that Apple has done its homework on its friend/foe Samsung, and the improved light sensitivity could mean the latest iPhone’s snapper will be the best on the market. On the topic of storage space, the 4S doubles the possibilities of its older brother by including a 64GB model. The Galaxy S II, although limited to a maximum of 48GB, does have the overt advantage a microSD slot – a freedom which consumers would love – but don’t expect – to see present on any iDevice. Ever. Siri assistant, one of the main talking points of today’s keynote, is one of those features that could separate the iPhone 4S from all of its rivals – including the iPhone 4. Although voice control is not exactly a new idea, Siri covers most aspects of the device through voice alone. If adopted by the masses, it could prove to be staple part of our smartphone diet, forcing rivals to follow suit.

Flash on YouTube drains my MacBook Pro battery a lot faster, raising CPU temperature to over 80-90 degrees Celsius from the normal under 60 degrees at 2000rpm, hence the cooler fans will rotate a lot faster to keep up with the high temperature... Besides that, security it's a major problem for Adobe products, specially Reader and Flash: http://www.adobe.com/support/security/ HTML5 it's the way, it just takes time to be widely adopted, to cut the story short...

Smart decision!

I love watching trolls )

Bump

Have you still got the DMG files for Adobe CS5 and Microsoft Office 2011? You can install from them, straight copy won't work. Also, use iBackup, beside the TimeMachine backup. I'd also do a manual backup, drag files from Movies, Pictures, Documents, Desktop into the external drive...

Coldel, why don't you do it properly? I mean fresh install like this: 1. Download iBackup, save everything you need on an external drive: mail accounts, favourites, cookies, movies, pictures, music, documents, etc, etc 2. Write an USB drive with Mac OS X Lion 10.7 3. Boot from USB holding ALT/Option key, open Disk Utility, wipe everything and then install Lion brand new 4. install iBackup again, restore ONLY FILES NEEDED, no preferences, blah blah. 5. install Photoshop, Office for Mac, Firefox if you use it, etc etc 6. ready to go! Any problems ask me here! Good luck!

Update: Spoken to lilsheepshagga_turbo last week and made a promise to pay last Friday, money still not in the account, PMed him tonight. Still waiting for his payment, otherwise we need 1 more person to complete the GroupBuy. Anyone else wants anything from RHD Japan?

Mine hasn't got any glitch at all, running latest beta 10.7.2
